problem #2

Jan 202004

Pathfinder

  • miles
Vehicle speed control. When the vehicle was new my wife and I were both having problems of stepping on the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time. I asked the nisson dealer in my area to fix the brake pedal adjustment because the pedal depressed so far that it would be at or below the accelerator pedal's level. At first they declined. After I told them that there was an adjustment on the brake pedal travel and that it was a "safety issue", the nisson dealer fixed it. We have not had a problem since. This problem has shown up in several of the 2003 Pathfinder complaints. I hope this report will save someone from an accident.
