While approaching a red traffic light it turned green and I accellerated to the road speed of 40 mph. The next traffic light turned red and I took my foot off the gas pedal but it didn't come up and release, the car continued to go. I used my brake and slowed the vehicle to a stop. The light changed and the gas pedal was still stuck down. I made a left turn as I know that road is long and would get me out of traffic. In the middle of the turn I heard and felt a loud pop and the gas pedal finally released allowing me to brake properly and stop the vehicle. Had my newly licensed 17 year old been driving, he would have had an accident. There needs to be a recall to see why this car's gas pedal won't release!! I am waiting for a tow truck now.

Ever since I've owned my 2000 Nissan Sentra (owner since April 2003), I've noticed that the car hesitates when the accelerator pedal is pressed. This causes me to press on the gas harder making my car lurch forward. This morning I rear ended someone and while the nature of the collision is my fault, I believe there would be far less damage to my car had it not hesitated due to the accelerator pedal getting stuck. My sister also owns a Nissan Sentra (2001 year) since July 2003 and she has experienced the same problem with her car hesitating because the accelerator pedal gets stuck. I looked on the internet and there are several other people who have noticed that their accelerator pedal gets stuck as well. . Read more...

While driving 40 mph accelerator pedal stuck. Consumer was able to decelerate the vehicle with braking. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.

The accelerator pedal sticks. As a result when taking off after a stop, the consumer had to apply more pressure to the pedal. The part has been replaced three times. However problem still exists. (throttle plate stuck) the problem never seemed to be corrected. The consumer would have to forcibly press down on the gas pedal, after putting the vehicle into first gear, from reverse. The seat belt did not retract and the gas pedal felt as if it were binding.

Accelerator pedal sticks. To get the car moving we have to push the pedal hard which causes a faster than normal acceleration.

Consumer believed some of the burden of cost for replacing the mass airflow sensor should be borne by Nissan. The accelerator pedal would stick. The dealer claimed to have fixed the problem but it still occurred. The consumer was also told that the mass airflow sensor was going bad and would need to be replaced. The technician informed the consumer that nothing could be done. The vehicle made a chirping sound since the vehicle was first purchased.
