| I recently bought a brand new 2004 nissan pathfinder le platinum edition for my 15 year old son to drive when he turns 16. i have been driving it over the past few months and on two occasions it has suddenly accelerated from a stop and i've had to slam on the brakes to stop it. the first occasion i dismissed as maybe my foot or that it was in the wrong gear or something but it happened again today 6/30/05 and it was very scary. i will be taking it to the dealership on sat. to have them look at it. i wanted to file this in case there are others who have experienced the same problem. now i'm nervous to let my sone drive this vehicle unless they can find and fix the cause. | |||

| 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 | |||

| When driving this vehicle ,and the right foot is on the accelerator you feel as though you are going to rip a wiring harnes with your foot ,it is also distracting and some what concerning as it takes you longer to move your foot to the brake pedal,also the suspension on this vehicle is not sturdy , the front strut assembly rattles as if the vehicle is 10 years old i have spoken to nissan and they say that such is normal i have spoken to other front end experts and they say the suspension on this vehicle should be replaced , i have also noticed that at cold starts the vehicle gives of a blue smoke which is not normal i am a very meticulous person and take care of my vehicle ,faithfull oil changes etc. i believe nissan should reevalute this 2004 and make changes to keep customers happy. *ak | |||
