Car Slowed Down On Its Own Problems of Nissan Altima

On numerous occasions I have had an issue with pressing the accelerator pedal but getting no response from the vehicle and after 5-15 seconds it goes under full power and lunges forward. I have also recently had 2 situations where the vehicle slowed up unexpectedly while driving and at the same time my rpm meter would start jumping up and down and again with no response from the accelerator pedal. In these 2 situations I pulled off the road, shut the vehicle off, sat for about 2-5 minutes and then started it up again with no issues. I have read some other posts about this issue stating that this could be the throttle position sensor however I have not had mine checked yet.

An existing recall on this vehicle should include the 3. 5l engine as well as camshaft/crankshaft and tcm. All cause similar life-threatening symptoms while driving the vehicle suddenly powers completely off briefly losing all power to lights etc, decelerate rapidly and you lose steering control and speed control. Vehicles come up on you quickly at night and even if you get the vehicle restarted you have no power in transmission and merely limp on at an idle speed. Very very dangerous. Why it wasn't included in the original 2007 recall is Nissan trying to save a buck. They used the same mfg & same parts as in the 2. 5l. They knowingly withheld it from being included. I also contacted them about the tcm. Keep in mind the were biting their nails after being presented with a class action suite regarding the defective tcm. Luckily for them it was dismissed temporarily. But they never mentioned any similar complaints when they responded to me and never offered any resolution to the problem.
