While driving could step on gas pedal and it will stick to floor in a down position, causing vehicle to accelerate forward. Consumer had taken vehicle to dealer to correct problem. But, no solution had been found.

Accellerator sticks badly! during cold starts and idle time (eg. At stop light or cruise control on) you go to press on the accellerator pedal an it's stuck. You push harder with your foot to loosen it up, and the vehicle will jerk and lurch forward badly. I've had 3 (three) Nissan Pathfinders, all different model years with the same problem. 1987, 1992 and 1997 all the same problem! Nissan suggests you repair by a clutch assembly kit, which costs $200+ installed. But if this is a known problem, in all Nissan vehicles, why don't they solve this problem permanently"?" any ideas or help, contact lpedo@wi.rr.com - thank you!

Throttle sticks when starting from stop/idle. Not in cable linkage from accelerator pedal. Appears to be in throttle body. Serious concern when parallel parked, or in string of vechicles at stop sign. Help!

I'm just wondering if many people have had this part brake. Nissan is offering to pay for 50% of the repair, but it sounds like this might be a big problem for them so I want to find out if this is going to become a recall item. They already have a "notice" out on the problem. The throttle sticks and could be very dangerous so we are not driving the car till this becomes resolved.

Driver's seatbelt replaced 4 times due to locking up too tightly, won't release once tightened. Consumer has no movement, dealer kept replacing belts with same type. Also, problem with filler tube, it overflows when getting gas, it fills reservoir. Mechanic said it would cause problem. Canister was replaced. Accelerator stuck.

Gas pedal sticks at a stop or when the pedal has been at a constant spot for a period of time. The only way to release the pedal is to tap it with your foot, causing the vehicle to jump forward.
