hi,
I have a 2012 diesel qashqai and recently the engine malfunction light has been coming on. I can drive gently and it seems ok, but after a while when the accelerator is pressed, the car applies power in little fits and starts. The engine malfunction light comes on red. Top speed of the car is about 80kph now (I haven't tried pushing it hard, but when I get up into top gear it'll hardly apply any power at all). It does not feel like a mechanical failure direct, more like the engine is electronically disconnecting and reconnecting the accelerator pedal every second or two.
It's on it's way to the service center soon, but I am curious to hear what might be the cause and solution from you guys.
thanks!
Malfunction light, can't accelerate
