“I was driving on the highway in my 2001 Infiniti I30. Car has never been hit or otherwise damaged. It's a fully stock vehicle. As I was driving down the highway the accelerator pedal depressed all by itself half way and the rpms and speed rose. I tried to brake but the acceleration overcame the braking and would not slow the vehicle. I put the vehicle into neutral and the rpms were at max. I was on the highway with no shoulder so I had to put the vehicle back into gear to get to the next exit. Once I put it into gear the vehicle sped up uncontrollably again. …”
NHTSA complaint #10262607, filed 2009-03, 131,000 miles“When I am in stop-and-go traffic after 30-45 minutes of time the engine idles very fast. I have to keep my foot on the brake very hard to keep vehicle stopped. When I take my foot off the brake the engine RPM reads 1100 (if the problem is not occurring it is usually 750 RPM in idle or when stopped) without putting my foot on the accelerator the cars drives at 30 MPH (almost as if it in cruise control mode even though the cruise control is not engaged) when this is occurring and I come to a stop and put the car into neutral or park the engine races to 3000 RPM and seems stuck at that level. …”
NHTSA complaint #10023378, filed 2003-06, 35,000 miles“I've 2001 Infiniti I30 at 82,000 mil. It's stalled randomly when stopping at stoplight or backed out from parking lot. Sent to local shop to diagnose that the idle speed control defected. Replaced by local shop mechanic and it's still the same. Sent it back for further trouble shooting, left vehicle there 1 week but still couldn't find any problem. Sent to another shop said idle speed control problem. It does more often in the morning during cold weather than in the afternoon.”
NHTSA complaint #10386121, filed 2011-03, 82,000 miles“These tires hit hard on bumps. Also when breaking tires do not stop correctly the track light comes on in the car. Every week I have to put air in them also I notice when going at a speed over 55 you can feel vibrations on steering wheel.I am tired of worrying everyday to put air in the tires so I don't get stuck now I have to go and buy new tires I just think that cooper tires should reimburse people for the cost.”
NHTSA complaint #10459725, filed 2012-05“As I was merging into highway traffic the accelarator pedal locked up and the car started to speed up. Checked the cruise control and it was off. Turned the cruise control on/off hoping it would disconnect the accelarator. Nothing happenned. The break would not work either. Then I put the car in neutral the tires seem to lock up and the car came to a stop.”
