VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
UNEXPLAINED ACCELERATION CAUSED VEHICLE TO EXCEED POSTED SPEED LIMIT AND DRIVER'S DESIRED SPEED. ON A CITY STREET AT APPROX 7PM I WAS INCREASING SPEED AFTER SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, I SLOWLY STARTED TO ACCELERATE, I FELT A JOLT & VEHICLE SUDDENLY PICKED UP SPEED. NOT KNOWING WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING I REPEATEDLY PUSHED THE CANCEL BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL & PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL. VEHICLE CONTINUED TO PICK-UP SPEED WHEN I STOPPED PUSHING BRAKE PEDAL. I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP & VEHICLE WENT TO PICKING UP QUICK SPEED WITHOUT ME PUSHING ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I PULLED INTO VACANT PARKING LOT, PUT VEHICLE IN PARK, REMOVED MY FOOT FROM BRAKE PEDAL & VEHICLE ACCELERATED HIGH (RPMS) BY ITSELF FOR A FEW SECONDS & STOPPED (WENT TO NORMAL IDLING). I TURNED VEHICLE OFF, RESTARTED & THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY AFTERWARDS. I HAVE REVIEWED OWNERS MANUAL & CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT I MAY HAVE DONE TO CAUSE THE UNEXPECTED VEHICLE ACCELERATION THAT PUSHING THE CANCEL BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND/OR PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULDN'T TURN OFF. I WAS NOT ATTEMPTING TO USE SPEED CONTROL FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE. STANDARD DRIVING. I BELIEVE IT WAS A VEHICLE MALFUNCTION AND NOT DRIVER ACTION THAT CREATED THIS UNSAFE SITUATION. THANKFULLY SURROUNDING TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT ON WHAT IS TYPICALLY A BUSY STREET.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CAR WAS RUNNING WELL AND DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES THEN WENT TO START AND CAR WOULD NOT START, HEADLIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING, WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND CAR WOULDN'T START. WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO START AND DRIVE HOME BUT POWER STEERING WENT OUT, COULD NOT ACCELERATE ON A HWY, LIGHTS CONTINUED TO FLICKER. WAS NOT SWITCHING GEARS. ONCE WE GOT HOME TURNED THE CAR OFF AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO START IT SINCE. WE HAD IT TOWED TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG AND IT'S BEEN THERE FOR OVER THREE WEEKS. NISSAN IS SAYING WE NEED A NEW $14,0000 ENGINE. THIS IS A THREE YEAR OLD CAR WITH NO PROBLEMS, NO INDICATION OF ANY ISSUES AND ONE DAY IT JUST STOPS DRIVING. HAVE RESEARCHED THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL AND HAVE HEARD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. INFINITI HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND SAYS IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT. DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED DUE TO THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE,

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I ACCELERATED THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN WHILE MERGING TO THE CARPOOL LANE ON HIGHWAY; I TOOK THE FOOT PRESSURE OFF AFTER MERGING THE LANE BUT CAR WAS KEPT ON ACCELERATING. I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKE SEVERAL TIME DURING 15-20 SECONDS OF THIS EXPERIENCE TO BRING THE HIGH ACCELERATION DOWN TO NORMAL. I TOOK IT TO ONTARIO CALIFORNIA INFINITI DEALERSHIP ON AUG 8, 2020 AND LEFT THE VEHICLE THERE FOR THOROUGH CHECKUP. I RECEIVED A CALL ON AUG 10, 2020 FROM DEALERSHIP SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE.

SEAT BELTS
SEATBELT STRAP IS FRAYING / TEARING ON 3 SEATBELTS AND ONE OF THEM HAS COMPLETELY TORN. THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT CLAMP WON'T DISENGAGE PREVENTING IT FROM BEING SIZED. INFINITI HAS DENIED MY WARRANTY CLAIM AND STATED THAT I SOMEHOW DAMAGED IT. I THINK IT IS A QUALITY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE HONORED AS A WARRANTY ITEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR HAS HAD ISSUES FROM THE DAY I GOT IT WHICH HAVE GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND NOW I DON'T FEEL SAFE AND I'M RELUCTANT TO DRIVE IT LET ALONE MAKE THE PAYMENT FOR IT AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES EXPLAINING THE ISSUE AND LIGHTS THAT COME IN. I HAVE HAD BAD SMELL COMING FROM IT AND AFTER THE THIRD TIME TODAY BEING AT DEALE AND GETTING A LOANER CAR THAT IS NOT EVEN SEMI COMPARABLE TO MY CAR AS I HAVE AN INFINITY QX 60 AND THEY HAVE GIVEN ME A TINY TINY Q30 OR QX AND REFUSED TO GIVE ME A CAR MY SIZE WHICH IS ANOTHER STORY . MY CAR AFTER GETTING IT TONIGHT FROM DEALER AND THEN TELLING ME RECALL WAS FIXED STALLED ON THE FREEWAY AND CAME TO A DROP AS THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS INCHES AWAY FROM SLAMMING INTO ME. AFTER STARTING AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE IT DRIVE AGAIN AND PRIOR TO GETTING HOME AS I LIVE ON A HILL IT STALLED AND WOULDN'T START. THIS HAPPENS REPEATEDLY AND THE DEALER IS TELLING ME NO CODES COME UP WHEN J BRING JT IN. IT BARELY DRIVES AND HAS NO SPEED AND CLEARLY IT'S A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND J HAVE A FOUR AND SIX YEAR OLD IN THIS CAR AND INFINITY CAN'T FIX THESE PROBLEMATIC CARS THEN I SUGGEST PUTTING YOUR CUSTOMERS IN A DIFFERENT CAR. I WON'T DRIVE WITH A STRING ODOR, ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND STALLING ONE MORE DAY AND FIGURE IT OUT CUS I'M LOSING WORK AND CLIENTS AND THIS IS NOW DIGGING INTO MY POCKET BOOK AND IT'S PUTTING MYSELF AND TODDLERS IN A COMPROMISING SAFETY SITUATION. I WAS INFORMED RECALL WAS FIXED WHEN I GOT IT TODAY AND RHIS WEBSITE WOUID HAVE BEEN UPDATED IF THAT WAS TRUE I'M FURIOUS AND MY MECHANIC HAS INFORMED ME OF WHAT THESE ISSUES ARE AND HE HAS GIVEN ME CODES THET INFINITY REFUSES TO ADDRESS SINCE THE LIGHTS ARE NOT ON THE ONE TIME THEY TURNED FAR IN. WHAT KIND OF MECHANICS CAN'T FIGURE A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE ENGINE ? I NEED RESOLUTION AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR MY PAYMENT AS I AM ENTITLED TO DRIVE IN A SAFE CAR

ON 2/18/2020 I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE IN A SNOWY WEATHER AND MY BRAKES FAILED TO STOP MY VEHICLE AND ENDED UP SLIDING DOWN THE CARB AND HIT A PARKED VEHICLE. I HAVE A RECALL FOR ABS. MY TRANSFER CASE UNDER THE HOOD WAS LEAKING AND MAKING A WEIRD LOUD NOICE. WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT BEFORE THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED BUT THEY ASKED ME TO COME BACK ON MONDAY.

SEATS
WE WERE HIT IN A REAR-END COLLISION, AND THE PERSON HITTING US WAS TRAVELING AT 60-65 MPH. WE WERE AT A STOP, IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY UPON IMPACT. BOTH OF THE FRONT SEATS WE WERE SITTING IN, COLLAPSED BACKWARDS UPON IMPACT. FROM WHAT WE'VE RESEARCHED, IF WE HAD A BACK SEAT PASSENGER, IT WOULD HAVE CRUSHED THEM, OR WE COULD HAVE SLIPPED OUT OF OUR SEAT BELTS. OUR RESEARCH ALSO INDICATES THAT AN INEXPENSIVE FIX MIGHT AVOID THE ISSUE FOR FUTURE PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCE A REAR END COLLISION. THE INFINITI PERFORMED WELL WITH AIRBAGS, AND CRUMPLE ZONES... SAVED OUR LIVES, HOWEVER, THIS SEAT PROBLEM COULD ULTIMATELY PROVE TO BE A FUTURE PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN
SINCE I LEASED THE VEHICLE I HAVE HAD TO RETURN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES STARTING AT JUST OVER 5,000 MILES. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR REPAIRS FOR A TOTAL OF 9 CALENDAR DAYS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON MY VEHICLE IS 22,160. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN CIRCLE INFINITI LOCATED IN WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ ON THE FOLLOWING DATES FOR REPAIR FOR THE FOLLOWING DEFECT: 01/30/2018 - 01/31/2018 VEHICLE LOW ON POWER WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC SEEMS AS THOUGH IT IS GOING TO STALL 04/11/2018 - 04/13/2018 WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC VEHICLE IS LAGGING. WHEN HITTING THE GAS PEDAL NOTHING HAPPENS. NEARLY HAD SEVERAL COLLISIONS BECAUSE OF THIS. VEHICLE WILL REV HIGH BUT NOT ACCELERATE. HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. 09/13/2018 - 09/13/2018 STILL FEELING HESITATION ON ACCELERATION 11/26/2018 - 11/27/2018 THERE IS STILL A HESITATION ON ACCELERATION. ADVISED OF PROBLEM MANY TIMES 04/03/2019 - 04/03/2019 CUSTOMER CONCERN; SAME ISSUE MY VEHICLE IS STILL HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE OF NOT ACCELERATING PROPERLY WHEN HITTING THE GAS PEDAL. ON JUNE 11, 2019, THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ALMOST CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO BE HIT IN THE REAR BY A TRUCK BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. I HAD TO QUICKLY RIDE INTO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID BEING STRUCK FROM BEHIND. SUBSEQUENTLY, I HAD TO RETURN THE VEHICLE AGAIN YESTERDAY TO CIRCLE INFINITI DUE TO THIS SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. SINCE THIS PROBLEM SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRS THE USE, VALUE AND/OR SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE, OR THE DEFECT IS ONE THAT IS LIKELY TO CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS BODILY INJURY IF THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE FOLLOWING RECALL WAS ISSUED: 'A BRAKE FLUID LEAK ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD MAY RESULT IN AN ELECTRICAL SHORT, INCREASING THE RISK OF A FIRE. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. (NISSAN) IS RECALLING CERTAIN 2015-2017 NISSAN MURANO, 2016-2017 NISSAN MAXIMA, 2017-2018 NISSAN PATHFINDER, AND 2017 INFINITI QX60 VEHICLES' I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL, THE WORK WAS COMPLETED HOWEVER 1 MONTH LATER THE CAR LOST ALL ITS BRAKE FLUID, WE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE RECALL WAS CORRECTED WITH A DEFECTIVE PART. THE RECALL PROBLEM WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED WAS CORRECTED WITH A DEFECTIVE PART WHICH CAUSED AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION. OUR TEENAGE DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME WHEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT ONE. OBVIOUSLY THIS RECALL WAS NOT CORRECTED AND IF INFINITI BELIEVES IT WAS, THEY ARE WRONG. HOW CAN A DEFECTIVE PART BE USED FOR A RECALL?

ISSUES OCCURRED FOR LAST WEEK OR TWO. AFTER FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING WHEN CAR ENGINE IS HOT, MY CAR STEERING WHEEL BECOMES SO STIFF THAT SOMETIMES IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN RIGHT OR LEFT. ALSO WHEN YOU PUSH BREAK IT'S MAKE NOISES, IT'S SOUND LIKE CRUSHING EMPTY SODA CAN.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
MY CAR HYDROPLANED AND EVERYTHING SHUT OFF. THE BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO PREVENT THE ACCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT AND WAS NOT ENGAGED IN ANY RECKLESS MANEUVERING. I FELT THE CAR SLIDE IN AN UNNATURAL DIRECTION AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO COUNTER CORRECT I FOUND THE STEERING WHEEL HAD LOCKED. I NEXT TRIED THE BRAKES WHICH WERE ALSO UNRESPONSIVE. THE VEHICLE SLIDE INTO THE CENTER DIVIDER ON THE FREEWAY AND I SLOWLY ROLLED TO A STOP. UPON COMING TO A STOP THERE WAS A STRANGE ODOR IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR, SOME SORT OF FUME. I TRIED THE GAS PEDDLE BUT THE ENGINE WAS UNRESPONSIVE AS WELL. I WAS PUSHED OFF THE HIGHWAY BY HIGHWAY PATROL. WHEN THE TOW COMPANY SHOWED UP, THE DRIVER OF THE TOW TRUCK WAS ABLE TO START MY CAR BY BYPASSING THE SYSTEMS IGNITION AND JUMP-STARTING IT, HE THEN DROVE IT UP ONTO THE TOW TRUCK BED WITHOUT A PROBLEM. THIS TELLS ME THAT THE BRAKES, POWER STEERING AND ENGINE FAILURE WAS NOT CAUSE BY THE DAMAGE OF THE IMPACT BUT RATHER THAT THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF IN MID TRANSIT. I'VE CONTACTED INFINITE AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE ELECTRONICS TO FIND OUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE, SO I AM TAKING MATTERS INTO MY OWN HANDS. I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE CENTER WALL DIVIDER OR ELSE THE CAR WOULD HAVE SLID INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC! SEARCHING FOR INSIGHT AND/OR SIMILAR EXPERIENCES FORM INFINITE CAR OWNERS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN STARTING UP AFTER A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE WILL SURGE. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. DROVE OUR VEHICLE IN THE PARKING LOT BUT COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM SO WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FURTHER. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY RISK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS.
