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.

I PLACED MY VAN IN MY GARAGE, WHICH IS LEVEL AND SMOOTH. I RAISED THE VAN WITH THE SCREW JACK AS SPECIFIED ON THE SCREW JACK. THE SCREW JACK HAS A LOWER PART WHICH IS BELOW THE SCREW, AND AN UPPER PART WHICH IS ABOVE THE SCREW. WHEN THE TIRE LIFTED OFF THE GROUND, THE SCREW JACK IMMEDIATELY BENT BACKWARDS AT APPROXIMATELY 20 DEGREES. AS IT WAS DANGEROUS TO LIFE AND LIMB, I IMMEDIATELY LOWERED THE JACK. ONCE LOWERED, THE JACK RETURNED TO ITS ORIGINAL SHAPE AS IF IT WERE MADE OF SPRING STEEL. I VIDEOED THE JACK IN THE UPRIGHT AND BENT POSITION AND IN THE LOWERED POSITION. THE DANGER IS THAT IF THE TIRE NEEDS CHANGING OUT ON THE ROAD, WHERE CONDITIONS WILL NOT BE PERFECT - AS IN MY GARAGE - THAT JACK WILL BEND BACK AND THE VAN WILL FALL AND SOMEONE WILL BECOME VERY HURT.*AK
