“While driving my car losses normal speed and stops responding to me trying to accelerate even after I hit the pedal all the way to the floor, car keeps slowly moving but doesn't pick up the speed. Sometimes its jerking on its own and do not respond to my pressure on the gas pedal. Seesm to be realated to similar issue that they have with q50 cars engine control module (ECM) may temporarily lose a signal from one of the engine management system's throttle position sensors (tps). If this occurs, loss of power followed by sudden unintended acceleration can occur. …”

“I bought my infinti QX60 used a little over a year ago. I was so excited to finally have a beautiful luxury car with everything I wanted and it would be a safe and dependable car even tho it was used because it was an 'Infiniti'. All of a sudden, right after having it a year, I went to accelerate to get onto the highway abc's it bogged out on me halfway thru the pass over onto the highway.. Scared me to death. It continued to bog it several times after that. We took it to mechanic to get the diagnostic code for the issue. We called the dealer we bought it from abce connected nissan/infinity. …”

“When accelerating from a full stop into a right or a left turn, the rpms go up but the vehicle does not accelerate. This happened approximately 3-4 times before my first 5000 miles. I was told it was part of the engine break-in process. When I brought my vehicle in for its 10k service, I again complained of this happening, but they can't replicate the results. It has happened 2x since my last service, once within 24 hrs of the service and the other at approximately 14910 miles. I am afraid to drive the car as I'm afraid to get rear ended. …”

“I bought this SUV in may 2014. About two weeks after my wife and I both noticed that the vehicle shudders at 20 MPH when you apply gas. It started getting worse and we called the dealer who scheduled a review. They eventually installed a new transmission. We are about 4 weeks after this repair and are noticing the same issue again. There were also about four incidents where I would shift from park to drive and the transmission would not change into gear for over 10 seconds.....as though it was low on fluid or had a line blockage. …”
