2003 Infiniti G35 Vehicle speed control Problems

“2003 inifiniti G35 sedan lurches forward when car is stopped. The car accelerates until brakes are severely depressed. This has occurred at stop signs, stop lights and in my garage. This problem is a dangerous issue. My car has been damaged due to this issue.”

“As I was accelerating to access highway, I was not able to accelerate my vehicle. It was as if I was running out of gas. I kept pressing the gas pedal and it slowly started to accelerate and seemed fine. A few minutes later when I was sitting at a red light, the car died. I put it in park and restarted and it was fine. A few days later the same thing happened as I was in the carpool line at my daughter's school. Car was running, while I waited and it suddenly shut down. When I restarted, the check engine light was illuminated and remained on. …”

“I had pulled up to drive thru window at the bank and put my car in park, with the engine running, when I finished my transaction I tried to put my car in drive but the gear shifter wouldn't move. I finally shut my car off and waited a few seconds and started it again and the shifter worked. It has also happened to me when I have started my car and tried to put it in reverse. It is intermittent. I also have an air bag sensor light flashing and hope they will include my VIN # in the recall but they haven't so far. Even in the expanded recall. I don't know why. …”

The brakes are functioning properly and are not worn. At this point, I am gravely concerned about this malfunction, and it feels like I am at great risk of having an unavoidable accident.”

“I was driving my sister-in-law to macarthur airport in islip, ny. We came to a red light just outside the airport. I took my foot off the gas pedal and put it on the brake pedal, but I felt the car was still trying to move as though there was another foot on the gas pedal. Fortunately it was not that much thrust involved. I kept pressing harder on the brake, but the car kept inching forward at about 2 MPH. I wasn't sure if I could stop before hitting the car in front of me (fortunately I always leave lots of room). So I put the car in neutral. …”
