  UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  THE VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY EXHIBITS A SHUDDER (VIBRATION, TREMOR) WHEN (1) THE VEHICLE IS WARMED (DRIVEN AT LEAST 10 MILES FROM COLD START), (2) MOVING AT A SPEED ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, AND (3) THE THROTTLE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. USUALLY, BUT NOT CONSISTENTLY, THE SHUDDER IMMEDIATELY DISSIPATES WHEN PRESSURE TO THE THROTTLE PEDAL IS RELEASED OR WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS PUT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN INTO AND IN A RIGHT HAND CURVE, THE SHUDDER IS NOT PRESENT REGARDLESS OF ANY OR NO PRESSURE ON THE THROTTLE PEDAL. IN A LEFT HAND CURVE, HOWEVER, THE SHUDDER IS PRESENT OFTEN WITHOUT ANY THROTTLE PRESSURE. WHEN COASTING ON A STRAIGHTAWAY THE VEHICLE TYPICALLY, BUT NOT CONSISTENTLY, EXHIBITS NO VIBRATION. INFINITI HAS FOUND THIS DEFECT IN OTHER Q70S SINCE MY REPORTING OF THE PROBLEM ON 20 MAY 2015. CAUSE/SOURCE OF PROBLEM HAS NOT YET BEEN IDENTIFIED TO MY KNOWLEDGE. IMPLICATION OF PROBLEM ON VEHICLE SAFETY, IF ANY, HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED.

  SEAT BELTS

  IN A WEEK OLD QX-70 WITH ONLY 448 TOTAL MILES, WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I LEANED FORWARD SLIGHTLY AND LEFT SIDE (FLOOR ANCHOR SIDE) OF DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT FAILED BY THE HIP WEBBING SEPARATING FROM THE FLOOR ATTACHMENT POINT. THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT SIDE ATTACHMENT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE DETACHABLE, BUT THE LEFT FLOOR ANCHOR SIDE. HAD THIS OCCURRED IN AN IMPACT I WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. THIS ATTACHMENT POINT IS OF A STRANGE AND ILLOGICAL DESIGN IN THAT IT HAS A PROBE SIMILAR TO THE REGULAR ENTRY/EXIT SEAT BELT ATTACHMENT. EITHER IN INSTALLATION OR MANUFACTURE THIS FLOOR ATTACHMENT DEVICE WAS EITHER NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY OR IS OF A POOR DESIGN. I AM A RETIRED MILITARY AIRCRAFT ACCIDENT INVESTIGATOR, SAFETY OFFICER, INDUSTRIAL SAFETY MANAGER, CERTIFIED SAFETY PROFESSIONAL, OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY TECHNICIAN AND AN OSHA AUTHORIZED OUTREACH INSTRUCTOR AS WELL AS A SAFETY ENGINEER. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL OF INJURY AND/OR DEATH WITH OTHERS IF THIS SEAT BELT ATTACHMENT PROBLEM IS COMMON. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT INFINITI AND NISSAN USES THIS SAME DESIGN. THE DEALER HAS BEEN EXCELLENT IN IMMEDIATELY STARTING AN IN-COMPANY INVESTIGATION, BUT I VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS FAILURE. I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS AVAILABLE FOR EMAIL. *TR
