I assume it wasn't the accelerator pedal stuck under the floor mat problem?
>From your description it definitely wasn't the pressing on the accelerator
thinking it was the brake problem.

Subject: [AFMUG] OT Odd unsafe situation with my EV

 

Once a winter or two ago, when trying to get my Leaf out of my garage after
a heavy snowfall, I was rocking it back and forth.  Went into full throttle
uncommanded reverse.  Had to hit the shut down button.  I reported it to
Nissan and the NTSB place for cars.  They never replied.  Never happened
again until this morning.  Cruise control, slowing to get into a left turn
at a left turn light.  Went into full throttle forward, the brakes were just
BARELY - BARELY able to bring it to a stop part way through the
intersection.  Had to hit the kill switch.  Reticent to wake it up to
reverse out of the intersection I took my chance.  When the left turn light
came on, I started it and put it into drive, again took off full throttle.
I was pulling into my company location and was worried I was going to put it
through the wall.  WOW!  Nissan web site says when this happens to shift
into neutral and then kill.  I have a hard time finding neutral at a car
wash let alone when faced with an immediate full blown in flight emergency.


 

I love Leafs.  I have had 4 of them I think.  Scary.  Hope it is a known
problem with a known solution.  Otherwise Imma gonna trade it.
