Unable to depress accelerator without great force. Pedal suddenly "gives" causing vehicle to lunge forward. Dealers explanation was clogged throttle body. Ques. -should I expect throttle body to stick every 25k miles. Also I know of another person whose Nissan Quest experienced the same problem.

Sticking throttle caused by build-up of soot, carbon, gum, or whatever it is in the throttle body assembly. The throttle requires excess pressure to overcome its sticking. Then, when it unsticks, the vehicle lurches forward faster than expected. This can be a very unsafe reaction at times, depending on the situation. It is also very hard on my wife's neck; she has had a cervical discectomy and fusion. I have received a class action lawsuit which proposes reimbursement for throttle body cleanings or replacements and free future cleanings/replacements during the manufacturer's warranty period. All this is wonderful and good for the original owner(s) --- at least during the warranty period --- but does nothing to improve safety! what if you wreck taking the car to their shop? and what happens when someone else buys the vehicle who isn't aware of the problem? if you need a copy of the lawsuit, I made one just for you.

I know the first time our throttle stuck, I cleaned it myself because the dealer wanted an ungodly price to do it. I don't remember when it was. My wife says she has paid for one cleaning, but she is unavailable to ask about the date. I had to put something in the blocks, to get past this point.
