In owners' own words
The throttle body has now been cleaned 3 times because the gas pedal contiues to stick. The car was under warranty once and the lawsuit against Nissan paid for the second, but I recently paid for the third. This has occurred at about 30,000 miles, 55,000 miiles and now 81,000 miles. This is a life threatening situation. This car should be recalled. Vehicle speed control · reported at 81,000 miles
While driving about 20 mph and coming to a stop, van would not stop because throttle was stuck. Driver had both feet on brake pedal and shifted van into park to stop. Shut off ignition. Started up with no problem. Van looked at by the dealership, not problem could be found. Nissan contacted, but provided no help. *Ak Vehicle speed control
Accelerator pedal sticking. This has happened on two or more occasions. I have not been back to the dealership yet because I don't want them wasting my time with telling me that this is a maintenance problem as they have told so many others here in this column. This is definetly a defect and requires an investigation. Vehicle speed control · reported at 45,500 miles
