2010 Nissan Sentra Cruise Control Problems

IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS, FOOT/SHOE MAY CAUSE TRIM PANEL TO THE RIGHT OF GAS PEDAL TO BECAME DISLODGED, THUS INHIBITING ACCELERATION/DECELERATION AND CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. FASTENERS FOR TRIM PANEL APPEAR TO FAIL AND/OR ARE LOOSE. *TR

THROTTLE FAILS TO RETURN TO IDLE AFTER I TAKE FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. REPORTED TO DEALER, WHO CHECKED IT OUT, BUT FOUND NOTHING. IF IT REPEATED, THEY SAID TO RETURN IT. IT DID REPEAT, SEVERAL TIMES. I PLAN TO CALL THEM AGAIN TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. IT SOUNDS VERY FAMILIAR TO THE RECENT FORD ESCAPE AND MAZDA TRIBUTE THROTTLE PROBLEMS. *TR

DEAR MADAM/SIR, THIS IS IN REGARDS TO MY 2010 SENTRA THAT EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION ON 15TH OF JANUARY 2012. PICTURES OF THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION INCIDENT AND EXPLANATIONS CAN BE FOUND AT HTTP://WWW.NISSAN-INCIDENT.COM/. AS PER NISSAN'S-USA RECOMMENDATIONS I TOWED MY CAR FOR EXTENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC INVESTIGATIONS AT MARRAZI NISSAN, IN NAPLES FL ON FEBRUARY THE 21ST. NISSAN -USA DID NOT SEND ME A COPY OF THE DETAILED TECHNICAL DIAGNOSTIC REPORT THAT MY CAR WAS SUBJECTED TO FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS. CLEARLY THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED SINCE THE 5 FEET SKID MARK ON THE SIDEWALK IS VISIBLE 'CHECK THE PICTURES POSTED. THE SHOE WAS NARROWER THAN THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ACCELERATION PEDAL, SO THIS DOES NOT EXPLAIN THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT IN 2005 NISSAN INTRODUCED THE OVERRIDE ACCELERATOR INPUT, MEANING DEPRESSING THE BRAKE WILL CUT OFF THE ACCELERATION. CONCLUSION: IT WAS A MALFUNCTION AND CLEARLY A SUDDEN ACCELERATION INCIDENT. NISSAN USA WILL NOT STATE WHETHER ACCORDING TO THEIR INVESTIGATION THE VEHICLE IS SAFE FOR DRIVING AND DOES NOT POSE A ROAD HAZARD. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER FULL WARRANTY, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR NEARLY A MONTH. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR SINCE IN MY OPINION IT POSES A SAFETY HAZARD. THE CAR IS STILL AT JOHN MARAZZI NISSAN WHO NEVER EVEN CALLED ME, NOT EVEN AFTER I LEFT THEM A MESSAGE AND SENT THEM A FAX. I'D LIKE TO KNOW AFTER THE NISSAN-USA EXPERT INVESTIGATION IF MY CAR DOES NOT POSE A ROAD AND SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
