Traction Control, Sticky gas pedal, Ice mode???

DannyGT...

Did you ever get this issue resolved?

One day, a couple of months ago, my engine started slowly climbing when I put it in neutral. Sometimes blipping the gas pedal would bring it back down to the proper idle, sometimes I had to physically pull the pedal forward by putting my foot behind it. I let it get to 6K before stopping it once just to see how far it would climb.

I drove it straight to the dealership and, of course, it had stopped doing it once I arrived. But, it didn't happen again until last Monday when it started happening constantly. That time, I was able to get it down to the dealership while it was still doing it.

The service manager and a technician were both able to reproduce it. They wrote it up and told me the first available service slot was on Saturday.

On Saturday, they told me they checked the throttle bodies, reset the idle, but couldn't really do anything until they called Nissan tech support. I was rather irritated (and expressed it to them) with the service people for not doing that ahead of time. The guy just started getting an attitude and basically said they couldn't call Nissan until they looked at the car. Whatever.

Today, they called and said no one at Nissan has ever heard of the problem and my only option is to call Nissan Consumer Affairs. ...which I planned on doing anyway because I really do not like the dealership.
