Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While stopped for 30 seconds at a red light my 2002 nissan maxima se suddenly accelerated (4000-5000 rpms) and surged forward. my foot was on the brake pedal only. i applied full pressure to the brake and applied the emergency brake. the engine revs dropped down and increased two additional times. when the revs dropped for the third time i quickly put the car into park and shut off the engine. when i turned the car back on the engine ran normally. i was very fortunate that there was adequate distance between myself and the car in front of me. i took the car to a nissan dealer the same morning and no trouble codes or stored data was found in the computer. nissan headquarters told me a factory rep will come to diagnose my problem only if the car is involved in an accident.*ak
