1994 Nissan Altima VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND APPROACHING US HIGH WAY 1 AND 9. MY WIFE REPORTED TO ME THAT OUR 94 NISSAN ALT. ALL OF SUDDEN STARTED TO INCREASE IN SPEED. IN FULL FEAR OF HER LIFE. SHE STEP DOWN ON THE BRAKES AND PULL UP THE EMERGENCY BRAKES AND THE CAR KEPT TAKING MOTOR POWER AND WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN. AS SHE APPROACHED THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT STOP. SHE HAD TO TURN LEFT TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND SHIFT THE CAR INTO THE PARKING GEAR TO STOP. SO AFTER I HEARD THIS I HAD MY MECH. PUT NEW BRAKES ON THE CAR AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE MOTOR AND I CHECK FOR RECALL ON LINE. THIS MORNING I TOOK THE CARTO THE NISSAN DEALER AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPEN ALSO TELLING THEM ABOUT THE RECALL I HAD RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND THEY REFUSED TO HONOR THE RECALL WANTING TO BILL ME FOR A DIAGNO. TEST BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL NIS 1994. THIS IS A TRUE STORY. *JB
