What owners wrote
I had backed out of a park spot and put nissan 2006 frontier 2wd crew cab in drive and it took off like a rocket, I had my foot as hard on the brake as possible and there are skid marks the whole way to where I hit a parked car. My air bag deployed and the truck was totaled. It damaged 3 new scions.
Traveling down the road in stop and go traffic I looked in my rearview mirror and then back to the vehicle in front of me. I was doing 15-20 MPH and saw they had stopped and I was in danger of a collision if fast action wasn't taken. When depressing the brake pedal in a panic manner the vehicle did not slow due the accelerator being depressed at the same time as the brake due to the closeness of the pedal. This resulted in a accident involving 3 autos including my 2006 frontier se 4x4.
