It sounds similar enough to me to take it in.

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.
