Owner report 10473800 · 2012-09-04 (September 4, 2012)

I WAS TRYING TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR JUST STALLED WHEN I DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND THEN SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THIS CONDITION WAS REPEATED SEVERAL TIME WHILE JUST DRIVING AROUND TOWN IN NORMAL TRAFFIC. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IF I WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND HAD TO ACCELERATE TO AVOID A CRASH, THIS TYPE OF ISSUE COULD LEAD TO DISASTER. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN WIDELY REPORTED ON THE INTERNET WITHOUT ANY CONCERN BY NISSAN. *TR
