Consumer Description

ON FEBRUARY 6, 2015HAVING JUST STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, MY 2006 PATHFINDER ACCELERATED SPONTANEOUSLY. I APPLIED MORE FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IN AN EFFORT TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM COLLIDING WITH THE DUMP TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. AS SOON AS THE PATHFINDER HAD ALMOST STOPPED AGAIN, IT ACCELERATED SPONTANEOUSLY FOR A SECOND TIME, BUT THIS TIME WITH MORE FORCE. IT TOOK ALL I HAD TO BRAKE THE CAR TO A STOP. HAD I NOT ALLOWED EXTRA ROOM BETWEEN THE DUMP TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME AND MY TRUCK, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A COLLISION. AFTER THE INCIDENT OCCURRED, I TOOK THE TRUCK TO PRIORITY NISSAN. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM USING THEIR COMPUTER, AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN DURING THEIR TEST DRIVE OF MY VEHICLE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD NO ADVICE TO OFFER CONCERNING THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. HOWEVER, THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID HE IS GOING TO LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM AND FURTHER RESEARCH THIS ISSUE. *JS
