1 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 08/30/2025

As I was driving my 2017 Nissan Pathfinder, when the vehicle suddenly accelerated to a high rate of speed and the gas pedal became stuck. I tried to press on the brake as much as possible but the vehicle was not successfully able to be stopped which caused a terrible motor vehicle accident.

2 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 12/30/2019

I pulled out to turn left on a four lane city street, entered into the first 2 lanes (traffic coming from driver's side) when the car stopped accelerating and just sat motionless while cars in both lanes were moving toward me. Speed limit on that street is 50 mph. I maintained pressure on the gas, and eventually the car began to move. The next morning, I took the car to the brandon florida Nissan dealer and it was determined that the transmission had failed and needed to be "rebuilt". This is a 2017 Pathfinder with 45000 miles.

3 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 09/20/2018

My 2017 Pathfinder has about 22k miles on it, had, plenty of gas and oil, but just randomly shut off while driving about 30-25 mph on a 4-lane road. I was darn lucky I was able to get to the shoulder and wasnt hit in the process. Then the car would start and immediately die; and I wound up having to get it towed to the dealer. There was absolutely no warning before this happened - it simply shut off while I was in forward motion. The dealership wasn't able to duplicate the issue or to get a code back from the computer - they were completely clueless. I no longer feel safe in this car. Hope this doesn't happen again and kill me, y family or anyone else.

4 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 02/09/2018

While driving on an country road going 35, my 2017 Pathfinder SUV all of a sudden hesitated to go past 40 for a few seconds. Had my foot to the floor, the rpm gauge was spinning but I couldn't get past 40.
