Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A USED XTERRA ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT IN A SHOPPING MALL AT A LOW SPEED WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY WENT INTO A HIGH WHINING REV AND THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD AND TOOK OFF OUT OF CONTROL. BEFORE COMING TO A STOP IT RAN INTO FOUR OTHER PARKED CARS. I WAS AS IT HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME IN ALL MY YEARS OF DRIVING ONLY AMERICAN MADE CARS. THE NISSAN IS THE ONLY FOREIGN CAR I HAVE OWNED AND WILL LIKELY BE THE LAST AFTER THIS EPISODE. *TR
