2 Accelerator Pedal problem

I'm just wondering if many people have had this part brake. Nissan is offering to pay for 50% of the repair, but it sounds like this might be a big problem for them so I want to find out if this is going to become a recall item. They already have a "notice" out on the problem. The throttle sticks and could be very dangerous so we are not driving the car till this becomes resolved.

3 Accelerator Pedal problem

Gas pedal stuck occationally.

4 Accelerator Pedal problem

Gas pedal sticks at a stop or when the pedal has been at a constant spot for a period of time. The only way to release the pedal is to tap it with your foot, causing the vehicle to jump forward.

5 Accelerator Pedal problem

Gas pedal sticking.
