Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: There is a pattern of failures for all nissan vehicles 1998 thru 2001 (did not search nhtsa database for anything earlier). this failure involves the car suddenly accelerating  usually when the driver is either slowing down or braking. in our case, we could not stop the vehicle and had to shut off the engine to stop our forward motion. the database summaries show the dealer response is always the same - we can't replicate, therefore we can't fix. additionally, our dealer contacted nissan and was told they knew nothing about this problem  which seems very unlikely since the reports in your database show that the vehicle owners have repeated told nissan of the problem. please begin an investigation into this problem as soon as possible and force nissan to acknowledge the problem, determine its cause and recall the vehicles. this problem is endemic across all nissan models (cars, trucks, suvs, vans) and across a number of model years (1998-2001). this problem could affect millions of cars. odi id numbers some of the related problems: 746324, 875795, 898284, 8001581, 741992, 854025, 566322, 56065, 758859, 8003876, 893370, 896545, 890278, 725165, 716994, 717202, 851041, 855272, 856147, 878223, 724641, 738694, 8019220, 857221, 863072, 885430, 531657, 558376, 737832, 842113, 553051, 725198, 836694, 855561, 829460, 853157, 785598, 533896. thank you. dt
