The vehicle accelerated very high without touching gas pedal over powered the abs breaking system as I was approaching a main road could not stop at stop sign and kept going my front end of car was hit another vehicle going sb 45 mph. Very lucky to be alive. Having tech checkout the vehicle.
While driving on the freeway doing 75 mph in san francisco, I stepped on the gas pretty hard and let off a second or two later. Right after that the car went into limp mode and would not accelerate at all. I had to go across 3 lanes with no acceleration. Very scary. Pulled over and tried to rev the engine to no avail. I then turned the car off and then started it again and it seemed to act normal. The check engine light flashed for a awhile then went to solid. About two hours later I went to pass another vehicle and it did it again. I pulled over and turned it the vehicle off again. This seems to be a pattern with this car when I push on the peddle to accelerate. Since January of 2012 it has happened a total of 7 times. I brought it to a shop where I was told that there was a voluntary recall campaign for this problem on 2002 Nissan Maximas. I went to the Nissan dealership and was told that my car was not in this recall. My concern is why is it not in this recall when it is clearly displaying what the "other" 2002 Nissan Maximas are doing?? this vehicle is unsafe for freeways and other fast moving areas. Could someone please help me and let me know what channels I need to go through to get this looked at? I have called the northern region Nissan dealer and they were very rude and told me that it was confidential and wouldn't tell me anything. This is my car that drives my family around, I have every right to know what is going on. Has any other complaints come in about this happening to their 2002 model that was not in this recall? I bought this car in January of 2003 with 22,000 miles on her and she now has 134,000. Please help me.
