Description of the problem	I have been experiencing recurring issues involving the gas pedal failing to work in my 2008 nissan altima. Whether on the highway, at a stop sign, or merging onto a highway the gas pedal will unexpectedly fail to accelerate the vehicle. I will press the pedal with absolute no acceleration from the vehicle. I have taken it to mechanic several times and each time the same codes appear. The codes are p0223, p0123, p2135. Respectively, each code means electronic throttle control actuator fault, electronic throttle control actuator fault and failed throttle position sensor. The recommendation from the codes is to replace throttle body. I have replaced the altima's throttle body twice and the after each time this issue continues to occur. I have also replaced the gas pedal and the issue still occurs as well. I have also performed the throttle body re-learn procedures as directed by nissan and the issue persists as well. Both my wife and i drive this vehicle and we have almost gotten into serious accidents involving this faulty issue with our altima. It is very dangerous trying to merge onto a major road or highway when abruptly the gas pedal fails to accelerate the vehicle. This is very dangerous and nissan must correct this issue. Upon, looking at the internet it seems numerous consumers of nissan altima's are experiencing this acceleration issue with the gas pedal. I have an appointment this friday with nissan but i am not very hopefully they can fix this affordably without charging an arm and a leg. This seems like an electrical or computer glitch with nissan altima(s).
