No injuries · No fire · No crash
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR I NOTICED THAT EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP OR DIP IN THE ROAD, IT FEELS LIKE I AM GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR IS EXTREMELY HARD TO CONTROL WHEN HITTING A BUMP ON THE STREET OR HIGHWAY AND IT'S SCARY. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY WHEN CHANGING GEARS IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MAY OF THIS YEAR, ITS UNDER 100K MILES. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND I'M WAITING ON A RESPONSE.

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES AT 3/4 FULL AND SOMETIMES AT 1/2 TANK FULL OF GAS AND SOMETIMES IN BETWEEN THE TWO MAKING IT UNPREDICTABLE AND UNSAFE.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. WE HAD THE DEALERSHIP DO A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT AND CAME BACK THAT THE OCCUPANT CONTROL SENSOR UNIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS BAD AND THEY WANT 6400.00 TO FIX IT!! IRONICALLY, OTHER 2007-2008 INFINITY EX35 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE, EXCEPT MINE DUE TO MY VIN! WHY WERE 200,00+ OTHER CARS FROM SAME YEAR AND MODEL RECALLED BUT NOT MINE? EVEN IF NEW PART WAS USED, IT STILL HAS THE SAME ERROR AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND TOTALLY UNRESPONSIBLE OF THESE AUTO MANUFACTURERS TO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS!
