“Accelerator pedal sticking. This has happened on two or more occasions. I have not been back to the dealership yet because I don't want them wasting my time with telling me that this is a maintenance problem as they have told so many others here in this column. This is definetly a defect and requires an investigation.”
NHTSA complaint #10037560, filed 2003-09, 45,500 miles“Where to start.... Brakes; 65,000 miles and we're on the 4th set (we've replaced them 3 times)! Efi... Every 25,000 miles the throttle sticks and yes, we joined the class action. And the latest? The crossover pipe on the exhaust system broke, filling the cabin with exhaust... Engine parts should last longer.”
NHTSA complaint #10050648, filed 2003-12, 20,000 miles“The gas pedal on my 1999 Nissan Quest sticks quite often, such that you must jam your foot onto the pedal to depress it. This is a dangerous situation as when you do jam the pedal the car must accelerate quickly into traffic. My mechanic looked at the pedal and could not find any problem with it, since it wouldn't stick when he was testing it. However, it does get stuck very often. I've seen postings on the web from others who also state the same problem with this vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10183061, filed 2007-02, 90,000 miles“Gas pedal sticks.. Approximately 3 years ago we had this problem fixed at the dealership. Not long after that we received a notice in the mail telling us if we had problems with the gas pedal sticking and had paid to have this repaired that we would be due a refund.. We filled out the required paperwork and have never heard back from Nissan.. I had forgotten about this until now.... We are having the same problem again, with the gas pedal sticking...........please advise as to what can be done to correct this oversight....and continued problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10165307, filed 2006-08, 50,000 miles“Due to the accelerator pedal sticking , it has been necessary to clean the throttle body on two occasions. I consider this problem a safety issue as the vehicle lurches forward when sufficient pressure is applied to the petal that will override the stuck throttle. The forward lunge will become acute if cleaning is delayed. I experienced the problem almost immediately after the 36 month warranty period had expired (I now understand that the warranty period was extended but without any notice to the vehicle owners). …”
