Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“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). …”

NHTSA complaint #10714476, filed 2015-05, 126,000 miles

“My Infiniti m35x accelerated unexpectedly during parking causing me to crash into a building and resulting in $10k worth of vehicular damage. The impact jarred me such that I temporarily became disoriented and was unsure of what just happened. A second incident of such nature occurred when the car unexpectedly accelerated, almost causing the vehicle to careen over a railing at a local shopping center. In the former instance there was no property or physical damage. The vehicle often surges without pressure to the gas pedal or when pressing the brake.”

NHTSA complaint #10417968, filed 2011-08, 50,000 miles

“Driving north on i95 near fayetteville, cruising at 75 MPH, had to accelerate suddenly to get into left lane ahead of other traffic, and make room for on-ramp car entering highway. When I floored the accelerator, my car engine stopped immediately, and I had to coast to a stop on the shoulder. I was able to call a tow truck, who delivered me to a local auto repair shop. The shop manager informed me of the failure as determined by the electronic analysis. Since he had to order parts, he had to take me and my family to a car rental company. After about 5 days, the car was ready for pickup. …”
