What owners wrote
Consumer contacted dealership for sudden acceleration. Dealer has been unable to locate source of problem, please provide further details.
2002 nissan altima 2.5s, while driving on the expressway the altima just cut off completely. The steering locked not giving me time to pull over off the road. This has happened 5 times. Twice at high speed and 2 times at low speed and once stopped at a traffic light. I have read many complaints about this same problem and actually spoke to one driver with the same exact car with the same problem. That driver took the car in, and was told by the dealer that they couldn't find anything wrong.
