On 3/25/2023 with less than 800 miles on the vehicle, the throttle got stuck. The cruise control was on but NOT activated. After passing a vehicle on a 3 lane interstate, the vehicle accelerated on its own to over 100mph. I hit the cruise control button to turn it off, but the car continued to accelerate on its own.
I uploaded the same letter I sent to the Nissan Manufacturer. Please view letter on Uploade files. Thank you
Jiffy Lube reported PLASTIC oil pan and plug broke when removing plug for draining. Manager at shop reported he had seen this before in another Nissan and he believes it is a common problem with the plastic oil pan. Internet search of forums describes similar problem and that replacements are the mid-$400s, just for parts, not labor.
On 8/9/2023 I went to my mechanic for a routine oil change. The prior oil change was done by the dealership where I purchased the car, Hgregg Nissan in Delray Beach, FL. When the mechanic opened the drain plug, the threads and assembly all came out, rendering the oil pan useless.
There is a constant fuel smell around the car when parked (and with the car off) which is present for several hours (and sometimes overnight) after operating and shutting off the vehicle.
