2009 Nissan Versa Speed Control & Cruise Problems

Throttle is impaired; P2138 very dangerous when accelerating across traffic and suddenly there is only partial throttle command. This now has happened twice.

WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN MY 2009 NISSAN VERSA HATCHBACK LOST POWER, COULDN'T ACCELERATE AND PANEL IDIOT LIGHTS CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY. I TRIED RESTARTING IT BUT NOTHING. ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER, I TRIED AGAIN AND SEVERAL TIMES IT ALMOST STARTED BUT DIED OUT. HAD TO GET CAR TOWED. WHEN TOW TRUCK DRIVER GOT IN VEHICLE IT STARTED FOR HIM AND KEPT RUNNING SO HE DROVE IT ONTO THE TOW TRUCK AND TOOK IT TO THE GARAGE. THE TECHNICIAN SCAN TESTE ON BOARD COMPUTER, ALL SENSORS AND SENSOR STRING, UP TO 1/2 HOUR DIAGNOSTIC TIME CHECK PERFORMANCE OF SENSORS, CHECK FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM. PRESSURE TEST STEADY 50 PSI, ROAD TESTED 14 MILES TO VERIFY OR ADDITIONAL NEEDED REPAIRS. CODES SET. NO CODES. COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. CAR RUNNING FINE. ADDITIONAL NOTES: VEHICLE HAS APPROX. 70,000 MI. ALWAYS KEEP HALF TO FULL TANK OF GAS AND SERVICED. THIS IS NOT GOOD! FEAR THAT THE CAR CAN JUST QUIT AT ANY TIME AND CAN POSSIBLY BE IN AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN, IT SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING OR NOISE LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND STALLED IN THE INTERSECTION. NO LIGHTS CAME ON AT THAT POINT. RESTARTED CAR, DROVE HOME. I COULD FEEL ACCELERATION HESITATION IN THE GAS PEDAL. NEXT MORNING I STARTED CAR, NOW HAS ENGINE LIGHT ON. I DROVE TO WORK, IT REPEATED THE BEHAVIOR ONCE. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR TO GET THE COMPUTER CODE P2138. THE CAR STALLS EVERYDAY THE FIRST TIME IT IS DRIVEN AND I CAN FEEL THE HESITATION EVERYTIME. AFTER THE INITAL STALL, IT DRIVES FINE THE REST OF THE DAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. I DID UNPLUG THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR TO AIR BLOW OFF ANY DUST. IT CONTINUES TO BEHAVE THE SAME WHETHER COMING OUT OF A STOP POSITION OR DRIVING ON THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS. WILL BE TAKING IT TO NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE RECALLS CHECKED AND WILL ASK ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS WELL. I WENT ON THIS SITE AND SAW THAT OTHER NISSANS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE OVER THE YEARS.
