“Driving on my city road at 45 MPH my Infiniti M35 instantly went from normal rpms to 0, brakes locking and steering as well. I was able to pull off into a company parking lot to turn my Infiniti off after getting it immediately in park. I tried to restart my car and almost five days of trying and having it towed home, I am still unable to get my car to restart. All of the interior lights from slip, brake, service enginne, the battery, etc continue to stay on. The car will try to crank but won't turn over. …”

“While driving on a freeway at low rate of speed (rush hour) I have experienced engine stall condition. All warning lights went on,including brake indicator. I was able to shift gear into park position and shut the vehicle down. After a couple minutes, I restarted the engine and drived home. That was one scary moment.”

“On march 9th, 2015 my 2006 Infiniti M35 stalled while I was driving it and wouldn't start again. I checked the fuses and battery and couldn't find any issues so I had it towed to the local Infiniti dealer. Initially the dealer told me that the ECM (brain) needed to be replaced and, after a fair amount of pressure from me to stand behind their product, the nissan factory agreed to cover the ECM replacement (~$2200). …”

“About a month ago, I was driving my car home from the store and the engine stalled as I was about to pull into the parking space. I thought the battery was dead, so I called a family member to give me a jump. The car started back up and drove fine for about two days. Then it happened again, I was on my way home from picking the kids up from school and the engine stalled again, right in the middle of the highway. The car would still be on but it would not move at all. After turning the car off and waiting for a few minutes, the car started back up. …”
