The accelerator freezes frequently. When it becomes unstuck, the car lurches either forward or backward depending on which gear it's in. I have had some near misses with other autos and structures.

While driving a child came in front of vehicle and the owner tried to use the horn and it didn't work. The owner noticed about two months ago the horn stopped working. Dealer charged 89 dollars for diagnosis, and reported that there was a problem with the wiring harness. Dealer reports that since the vehicle is past warranty, then there would be no financial responsibility on the part of Nissan. Owner noticed others have had the same problem with vehicle. The horn has not worked since the first failure, and there are no warning lights on in the vehicle. There was also a problem with the gas pedal sticking and the dealer reported that was a normal maintenance issue. Nissan reports that there is nothing they can do to help.

The floormat of my 2002 Nissan Sentra ser spec v got caught under my gas pedal causing it to become stuck to the floor. I was able to turn off the key and pull off to the side of the highway. I noticed that the floor mat keeps twisting where this will be a recurring problem. These are the factory floor mats. I checked to see if there was a recall, which there was, but the manufacturer states that my car was not involved in the recall. I explained that what happened to me is the reason for the recall, but they said that they would not replace the mats without charging me. I complained directly to Nissan through their web site, and other than a confirmation notice they have failed to respond to my complaint. I'm sure that this condition will cause accidents, but Nissan does not seem to care. This is a safety issue, I couldn't care less about getting new floormats, mine are in perfect condition, but are dangerous.

I have a 2002 Nissan Sentra gxe that was bought on September 29, 2001 as a brand new car. The gas pedal hardens and does not respond when my foot press on it after the car has been stationary at a stop sign or at a red light. A second foot press on the gas pedal gets the car going but it causes the car to jerk back and the back wheels to skid as though I was putting excessive force on the acceleration. This has been very dangerous for me especially in wet weather. I brought the car to the dealer when I find out that the problem does not associate with the fact that the car was new and has to be broken in. On two occasions, when I complained of the problem, the dealer technician found build up in the throttle chamber and manually cleaned out the throttle chamber. However, the above described problem kept coming back and has proven to be very dangerous for me on the road. I would like to know why there are build up in the throttle chamber, and I would like for the dealer to find a permanent solution to this problem.
