1 Fail To Accelerate problem

Failure Date: 05/31/2016

I have been experiencing recurring issues involving the gas pedal failing to work in my 2008 Nissan Altima. Whether on the highway, at a stop sign, or merging onto a highway the gas pedal will unexpectedly fail to accelerate the vehicle. I will press the pedal with absolute no acceleration from the vehicle. I have to floor the pedal to get minimal exceleration before the car suddenly picks up speed. I have almsot been rear ended while awaiting for the car to accelerate to proper take off speed. I have had the transmission fluid checked and a tune up done. . . Still trying to assess whats wrong with the vehicle.
