Nissan is issuing a massive recall that will see the Japanese automaker repair 908,900 vehicles worldwide, with nearly 100,000 of the affected models in the United States. While an official recall notice from Nissan or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is not yet available, Reuters has been able to confirm the recall with Nissan.

Nissan's recall is kind of the opposite of the Toyota unintended acceleration, in that it covers a lack of acceleration. According to the report, a sensor in the gas pedal can develop faults, leading to a sluggish acceleration or an outright stall regardless of how much throttle the driver dials in. The huge recall covers mostly Japanese domestic models like the Serena, X-Trail, Lafesta and Fuga, which make up for 764,800 of the 908,900 faulty vehicles. However, 98,300 Infiniti M sedans are being recalled in the US, although it's unclear at this time which model years and trims are affected. The remaining vehicles are found in Europe and Oceania, according to Nissan spokesman Chris Keefe.

No injuries or accidents have been reported due to the faults. The 90-minute repair will see techs replace the accelerator pedal and tweak the engine control programs. We'll update this story as soon as Nissan or NHTSA makes an official statement.

That might explain the hesitation I feel sometimes when accelerating from a standstill.
Not the best feeling when trying to turn onto a busy road.

Yeah, saw that this morning too. No real information on what years and models, but like atl35, I feel it too.

This article seems to have a little more detail:

If that last article is correct then I will finally get my ECM reprogrammed to learn how I drive.

I tried to do it myself but had no luck

You know what would suck. If you get this recall performed and have to redo the uprev!!!

My 2015 Altima does this same thing and Nissan refuses to admit fault...won't recall

Huh. I had a stumble/stall the other day pulling away form a stoplight. Not a pucker moment, but still somewhat unnerving. Will be keeping an eye on this.

This pedal recall came out a few years ago. I suggest looking up your vin (there are multiple sites for this) for active recalls on your car. If it is three years overdue for the recall repair, I would try to get it in to the dealer soon.

Just scheduled accelerator pedal change at the end of this month. Saw your guys posts here and ran my carfax seeing that I have 2 recalls. Passenger airbag part is supposed to be available first quarter of 2017.
