Accelerator Stuck Problems of Nissan Pathfinder

I am experiencing issues with the gas pedal getting stuck and I have to manually bend down and pull it up with my hand. I have bin going back and fourth with Nissan for a year now. I have videos to show the proof. I have 2 kids to drive in my car. I am really concerned about the safety in the car. I almost crashed a few times. I reached out to the attorney general and they are stating that I should change out the whole front end of the car. I cannot financially afford that and it isnt fair to me . I bought the car brand new and started having this issue 3 months after having the car. I have bin communicating with Nissan ever since.

I was driving on a highway when I realized my car was accelerating quickly without my foot on the gas pedal. I put my foot on the brake to slow it down to 65. At the same time I moved the rug back in case it was caught, but that was not the problem and I also tapped the gas pedal to see if it was stuck and it was not. I continued to drive for 15 miles with my foot on the brake the entire time until I exited the highway and was able to enter a parking lot where I depressed the brake as hard as I could. The car was shaking and the engine was revving and the car was trying to push forward. I was afraid putting it in neutral would not work so I threw it in to park and the engine continued to rev as the car jerked to a stop. I put on the emergency brake and turned it off. As I exited the car, I could smell burning and moved away from the car. I was shaking uncontrollably and broke down after that. I called the Nissan dealer that services my car to say what happened and it would be towed there. I called my insurance roadside assistance to tow the car. The tow truck driver turned the car on to put it in neutral and it immediately began revving up again so he turned it off and popped the hood and showed me where the throttle was and the wires going to it and he fiddled with those and started the car again and he put it in neutral and towed it to the dealership.

Accelerator stuck as I was exiting the freeway. The vehicle became very hard to stop. After shutting off the engine and restarting the engine raced to high rpm's before I shut it off. Will take to the mechanic.

The contact owns a 1998 Nissan Pathfinder. While driving approximately 60 mph, the accelerator pedal stuck and continued to accelerate the vehicle. The brakes did not function when applied and the steering wheel was stiff. The contact had to jump from the vehicle in order to escape from the vehicle. The vehicle crashed through the bypass and down another street into oncoming traffic but did not crash into any other vehicle. The contact did not sustain injuries. The insurance company contacted the manufacturer and was awaiting a response. The vehicle was destroyed. The VIN was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 207,000.

The accelerator gets stuck in the upright position. It is difficult to step on the pedal without a lot of pressure resulting in a surge in the vehicle speed.

The accelerator sticks in the idle position, due to slack in the throttle wire. At times it takes a good amount of pressure to "unstick" the accelerator causing the vehicle to surge forward.

While driving 35 mph, another vehicle suddenly stopped in front of the consumer's vehicle which caused the consumer to veer off the road and hit a curb. The vehicle's axle broke and was towed to the dealership for analysis. The brake system resulted in a complete lost of control of the vehicle. The vehicle pulled to the right, the accelerator pedal would stick, there was a rattling/buzzing sound upon acceleration, the brakes slipped, and the accelerator did not respond at times. Prior to the incident the struts leaked and the left front stabilizer bar was replaced.

Accelerator pedal would stick when trying to accelerate. Contacted dealership, and mechanic could not find the cause of accelerator pedal sticking.

Accelerator pedal sticks. When placing vehicle into gear must apply pressure to accelerator to release it. Subsequently, it releases suddenly in a way which causes sudden acceleration. Also vehicle shakes while driving . Dealer has replaced ball joints, but problem. Still exists.
