Some Nissan Altima owners report experiencing an unresponsive gas pedal issue, even after replacing the CVT transmission and O2 sensor. This problem can manifest as a lack of response from the gas pedal after driving for a while, requiring the driver to fully press the pedal to initiate movement. Additionally, some owners have noted that the RPM may drop to 1, indicating that the gas pedal is not being recognized, but it may function correctly again after being released and pressed. Reports also include instances where the gas pedal fails to respond, resulting in delays in acceleration or the vehicle not moving when the pedal is pressed. It is important for owners to consider other potential factors, such as sensor issues or electrical malfunctions, that could be affecting throttle response. Due to the complexity of modern vehicle systems, consulting with a qualified mechanic or a Nissan dealership is crucial for accurately diagnosing the root cause of this persistent issue.
