I hear a banging/ knocking noise when I press on the gas pedal and while costing. I have no idea what it may be but it is scary. I recently had my front rotors and brakes replaced I don't know if this has anything to do with the knocking which started after the brake job or if it was a problem already waiting to happen. Help!!!
1993 Nissan Altima acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 34 of 34, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Welds gave out and gas pedal assembly simply fell off.
Sometimes while driving gas pedal would go towards floor without putting foot on it, RPM's would go up to 1000 rpms, and pedal would not release. Consumer stated theres was recall 94 v 035 000; but this car was not included.
On about five separate occasions over the last two weeks, engine has accelerated to a high RPM uninitiated by the driver. Each occurrence has been when the car was put into reverse and started backing up. So far we have been able to stop the car with the brake, but only with difficulty. When transmission is taken out of reverse, the engine accelaration stops. Only one time did the sympton return when the transmission was placed into reverse a second time.
Gas pedal bracket attached to firewall broke off while driving on highway, causing accelarator to get stuck at 25 MPH. Gas pedal released from where it was welded on the firewall. Please provide further information.
