NHTSA complaint #10260404, filed 2009-03, 80,000 miles“I recently purchase a 1999-1/2 Nissan Pathfinder se limited. Soon after we had 3 to 4 experiences where the car suddenly accelerates on its own while coming to a stop. Even apply the brakes cant stop the car from wanting to race off, I have to quickly turn the ingnition off with the key. Ive had 2 Nissan dealer services and the toyota dealer where I purchased the vehicle from test and drive over 50-60 miles and not duplicate the problem.my wife and I feel this is a serious problem that can cause injury or even death to us or someone if it ever happens.”
