| Description of the problem | I am having a problem with my 2004 nissan pathfinder which i purchased in november 2004. On three separate occasions, the engine revved up on its own. The first two times i was stopped at a red light with my foot firmly on the brake when the engine revved up. The third time it happened on april 12, 2005 as i was approaching a red light. I gently applied pressure to the brake and the engine revved up and lunged forward. I applied as much pressure as i could to the brake, but the truck wouldn't stop. I quickly pulled over to the side of the road and threw the truck into park in order to stop the truck from moving and avoid hitting the car in front of me. Nissan said they could not find anything wrong with the truck. What do i do now? I'm nervous driving the vehicle.*ak |
