NHTSA Complaint #11291466 — 2018 NISSAN TITAN

1. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE BRAKED HARD ON THE HIGHWAY TO AVOID A CAR THAT FAILED TO YIELD WHILE MERGING. THE OTHER VEHICLE THEN BRAKED HARD AND I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO GET IN FRONT BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. THE ENGINE DID NOT SHUT OFF, BUT THE TRUCK WOULD NOT REV THE RPM'S OR HAVE ANY RESPONSE TO THE GAS PEDAL FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS. LUCKILY A COLLISION DID NOT OCCUR. 2. WHILE TAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO A STEEP INCLINE DRIVE FROM A HIGHWAY THE TRUCK ONCE AGAIN WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. THE TRUCK WAS JUST SITTING ON THE INCLINE FOR ABOUT THREE SECONDS BEFORE IT RESPONDED TO THE GAS PEDAL AND CLIMBED THE HILL. THERE WAS A VEHICLE FOLLOWING BEHIND INTO THE DRIVE AND HAD TO STOP TO AVOID COLLIDING INTO MY REAR END AS THE TRUCK WOULD NOT GO FOR A FEW SECONDS. I AM NOT EXACTLY SURE HOW TO DESCRIBE THESE TWO INCIDENTS OTHER THAN IT IS A "DEAD PEDAL" FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WHEN PROPULSION IS TRULY NEEDED
