NHTSA Complaint #11318611 — 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA

PULLED INTO A HANDICAP PARKING PLACE, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR ACCELERATED FORWARD AT A HIGH SPEED. KNOCKING DOWN THE HANDICAP SIGN AND WENT THROUGH A STORE GLASS WINDOW.WE SAT THERE IN SHOCK NOT NOTHING WHAT JUST HAPPENED. THE POLICE ARRIVED AND A SAID IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE GAS PEDAL, THEY ASSUME SINCE I WAS A OLDER PERSON THAT I HAD STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE. I KNOW I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I FEEL THIS IS DIFFERENTLY A RECALL PROBLEM. NISSAN HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2000 AND NO ONE HAS DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE LOST MY LICENSE AND MY INSURANCE OVER THIS. PLEASE TAKE THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY! WHAT IF THIS WAS A SCHOOL CROSSWALK AND CHILDREN WERE GOING ACROSS. I WORKED IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 47 YEARS NOW IT'S TIME FOR ME TO TRAVEL AND ENJOY MY RETIREMENT. I CAN'T EVEN GO TO THE DOCTORS OR GROCERY STORES. PLEASE SAVE OUR CHILDREN AND OUR COMMUNITY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AT THE TIME THIS HAPPED.
