One problem related to car accelerates on its own has been reported for the 1996 Nissan Maxima. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
1. I was parking near downtown seattle at a curb parking spot. While aligning my car to the curb with my foot on the brake, the car suddenly accelerated from idle speed to full throttle. By pressing the brake pedal very hard and shifting to neutral from drive position, I was able to stop the card from lurching forward and hitting the car in front. The car returned to idle speed after shifting to neutral. 2. I had stopped at a stop sign at a four-way intersection on mercer island, wa behind another car. My foot was on the brake pedal. Suddenly, the car accelerated forward with the transmission in drive position from idle speed to full throttle. I had to push very hard on the brake pedal to prevent my car from hitting the car ahead and put the transmission in neutral position after which the car returned to idle speed.
