#745309May 14, 2001
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
AFTER BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE AUTO-ACCELERATED WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SELECTOR WAS PLACED INTO THE 'DRIVE' POSITION. TO AVOID A HEAD ON COLLISION (THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO A HIGH RATE OF SPEED) THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED TOWARD THE LEFT. THE RESULT WAS THE STRIKING OF THE BUMPER AREA OF THREE PARKED VEHICLES, ONE OF WHICH SUFFERED SOME REAR FENDER DAMAGE. DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE WAS SEVERE; HOWEVER, THE AIR BAG FAILED TO ACTIVATE. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT OF 'AUTO-ACCELERATION'. IT OCCURED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AND REMAINED AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE-WEEK, BUT NO FAULT WAS FOUND. *AKMORE RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO INCRESE IN SPEED ALTHOUGH NO FORCE WAS APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR. IN THESE CASES, THERE WAS SUFFICIENT TIME SO NO DAMAGE WAS DONE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN THE SENSORS FAIL, THE CAR SHUTS OFF! THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS ON A FREEWAY INTERCHANGE IN THE POURING DOWN RAIN, AND I LOST ALL ENGINE POWER. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT ANYONE HITTING ME. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED,IT WAS ON THE 15 OF MARCH, JUST OVER A WEEK LATER. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE NIGHT BEFORE AND I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER, PEYTON CRAMER INFINITI ( THEY ALSO DID THE FIRST REPAIR). I WAS INSTRUCTED THAT IT WAS PROBABLY NOTHING, BUT TO BRING IT IN WHEN I HAD A CHANCE. I TOOK THE CAR IN THE NEXT MORNING. THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND ASSURED ME THAT IT WAS JUST SOME SORT OF SENSOR ERROR. LATER THAT DAY, THE CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THIS TIME, THERE WAS NO SHOULDER. I SAT THERE IN A LANE OF TRAFFIC, DEAD IN THE WATER! I STILL DO NOT HAVE MY CAR BACK. EVERYTHING IS COVERED UNDER WARRENTY FOR NOW. MY WARRENTY EXPIRES AT THE END OF MARCH. THE ISSUE AS OF YET IS NOT MONEY, IT IS SAFETY. BOTH TIMES THAT MY CAR FAILED, I FELT MY SAFETY( LIFE) WAS JEOPORDIZED. THE IDEA THAT A SENSOR FAILURE CAUSES A CAR TO SHUT OFF IS INCREDIBLE TO ME! I FELT MY LIFE WAS IN DANGER! SENSOR FAILURES SHOULD NOT RENDER A CAR POWERLESS! MECHANICAL PROBLEMS CAN AND SOMETIMES DO MAKE A CAR UNDRIVEABLE. BUT, IF INDEED THE ONLY PROBLEM IS A SENSOR, A NAGGING DASH LIGHT SEEMS TO BE A MORE APPROPRIATE RESPONSE. AGAIN, I WANT TO SAY THAT THESE TWO EXPERIENCES SCARED ME TO DEATH! INFINITI MUST BE MADE TO STOP THIS OVER REACTION TO SENSOR FAILURE, AND A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE ON OLDER VEHICLES THAT ARE PROGRAMMED TO RESPOND IN THIS MANNER!*AK

KEYLESS ENTRY MALFUNCTIONS INTERMITTENTLY AND HAS DONE SO SINCE DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN MALFUNCTIONING THE KEYLESS ENTRY DOES NOT RESPOND AS IT SHOULD TO THE REMOTE UNIT(S) AND ONE NEEDS TO PRESS THE REMOTE UNIT SEVERAL TO MANY TIMES BEFORE DOOR WILL UNLOCK / LOCK OR PANIC ALARM SOUND. POSITION OR DISTANCE IN RELATION TO THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SEEM TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, NOR DOES WEATHER CONDITIONS, LOCATION WHERE PARKED OR IF VEHICLE IS COLD OR WARM. ALL OCCURRED OUTDOORS. IN BETWEEN MALFUNCTIONS, IT WORKS FINE. I FEEL NOT HAVING A RELIABLE ENTRY / PANIC ALARM SYSTEM IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONFIRM THE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. NOTE: THE FAILURE DATES AND MILEAGES ARE VARIOUS. THE NUMBER OF FAILURES ARE MORE THAN 50. *AK
