Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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.
