VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS ACTIVATED, IT DOES NOT ALWAYS TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED OR CANCEL SWITCH IS PUSHED. IF I HAVE CRUISE SET AT 65 AND APPROACH AND INTERSECTION OR OBJECT IN THE ROAD OR LOWER SPEED ZONE, AND APPLY THE BRAKES BUT THEN PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO CONTINUE AT A LOWER SPEED (45), THE ACCELERATOR WILL GO DOWN ON ITS OWN AND THE VAN WILL ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN TILL IT HITS THE 65 MPH THAT WAS ORIGINALLY SET ON THE CRUISE. THIS OCCURED 3 OUT OF THE LAST 5 TIMES THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS USED. I HAD TO QUICLY APPLY BRAKES AGAIN WHEN I NOTICED THIS HAPPENING TO AVOID CHILD IN ROAD AND THE BACK PASSENGER WAS INJURED SLIGHTLY ON THE HEAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO NISSAN WHO REPLIED THAT IT MAY NOT BE ON WARRANTY, BUT WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND DISCUSSED, I HAD TO PAY THE 50 DOLLAR COPAY ON A 54 DOLLAR REPAIR. I HAVE NOT TRIED TO USE THE CRUISE CONTOL SINCE BEING SERVICED.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED IT WILL NOT GO UNLESS YOU PUNCH THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN YOU SPIN OUT. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT IT IS A CARBON BUILD UP AND SHOULD BE CLEANED PERIODICALLY, BUT THE MANUAL DOES NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT BEING A REGULAT MAINTENACE ITEM. THEY CLAIM IT IS BUT I FEEL IF IT IS THEN IT SHOULD BE LISTED WITH ALL OTHER MAINTENANCE ITEMS. I HAVE PULLED OUT SEVERAL TIMES WITH PLENTY OF TIME TO GET PULLED OUT BUT MY ACCELARATOR WOULD NOT GO AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BECAUSE OF THIS. I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND WOULD LIKE MORE TO DONE. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY $135 FOR SOMETHING TO BE CLEANED WHEN IT IS NOT IN MY MANUAL. I HAVE CHECKED WITH OTHER OWENERS AND THEY HAVEN'T HAD THIS PROBLEM. ONE PERSON WHO HAS A CHEVY MAILBU HAD THIS PROBLEM BUT CHEVROLET COVERED HIS UNDER WARRANTY. IF IT IS A MAINTENANCE ITEM THEN NISSAN SHOULD HAVE TO PUBLISH IN THE THEIR OWNERS MANUAL.
