| Description of the problem | At very low speed (as in searching for a parking space) the car will accelerate, without warning, and then fall back to an idle. My current 2015 altima is at the body shop now because of an accident (due to this unannounced accelerlation) where my wife ran through a wall at riteaid drugs while attempting to park. The vehicle was in the parking space and almost completely stopped when it accelerated. My wife was not badly injured, but could have been, not ot mention any pedestrians that might have walked in front of the her car. I have police report, pics, etc., but unable to load them. I complained to tenneson nissan about this and several other issues at the 5000 mile service visit, to no avail. Updated 11/08/17 *bf ...
