Two problems related to car accelerates on its own have been reported for the 2015 Nissan Leaf. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While I was accelerating to 60mph from a stop light on us 287 and isabelle road in boulder county, colorado, the car continued to accelerate uncontrolled to over 70. Accelerator pedal seemed to not work at all. I braked and slowed down but it was fighting the maximum acceleration. I tried pumping the brakes and kept slowing down and the car lost all engine power and seemed to brake itself. I pulled over to the side and turned off the car. Turned it back on and all seemed normal. I am concerned that others may panic in this situation and not be able to control the car. The 2015 Nissan Leaf I drive has 31,000 miles on it now and has had all updates and services.
