DRIVING 70 MILE IN FWY MY CAR ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF COMPLETELY I ALMOST DIED OUT THERE BECAUSE OF CARS BEHIND ME. I CALMLY CHANGED STEERING WHEEL TO RIGHT SIDE OF FWY WITH LEFT OVER SPEED AFTER 5 OF VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST CRASHED ME AND EACH OTHER. TURN OFF ENGINE AND STARTED ENGINE FEW TIME AND IT WORKED SO I SENT MY CAR TO SHOP AND THEY SAID IT'S A 2 OF SENSOR PROB. AND WHILE HE WAS MOVING MY CAR, DRIVER SIDE SEAT SWITCH BUTTON WAS ON FIRE! FIRE! WHAT IS GOING ON. I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OUT THERE IF NOT FOR GOD. I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINED ON SENSOR PROB WITH ENGINE SHUT OFF, ISN'T THIS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE???? RISKING ALL OF PEOPLE'S LIVES???? *TR
INFINITI G35 2005. AFTER COMING TO A FULL STOP FOR AT LEAST A MINUTE, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND IN ANY WAY; NO ENGINE NOISE, NO RPM CHANGE, NO MOVEMENT AT ALL. THEN I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR ONE-HALF WAY DOWN AND THE CAR MADE A SMALL ENGINE SOUND, THE RPMS WENT UP TO AROUND 1500 AND THE CAR MOVED A LITTLE. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND PRESSED IT AGAIN AND IT DID NOT RESPOND, AGAIN. I PRESSED ONE-HALF WAY DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR AND IT MADE A SMALL ENGINE NOISE, RPMS WENT UP A LITTLE, AND THE CAR MOVED A LITTLE. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR AS SOON AS IT MOVED A LITTLE BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID THAT THE CAR MIGHT SUDDENLY RESPOND NORMALLY TO THE ONE-HALF PRESSED ACCELERATOR AND ACCELERATE RAPIDLY AND CAUSE ME TO CRASH. THE "VVC OFF" LIGHT, THE "SERVICE ENGINE" LIGHT, AND THE "SLIP" LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. THE BUTTON THAT IS SUPPOSED TO TURN OFF THE "VVC OFF" LIGHT, DID NOT TURN OFF THE LIGHT. I WAS DRIVING IN NORMAL DRY CONDITIONS. I PARKED MY CAR AND TURNED IT OFF. SEVERAL HOURS LATER, I RESTARTED MY CAR AND THE "SERVICE ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON, BUT THE OTHER LIGHTS WERE OFF. THE ACCELERATOR RESPONDED NORMALLY. I WILL TAKE MY CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER TOMORROW. THERE ARE OTHER INTERNET POSTS DESCRIBING THIS IDENTICAL OCCURRENCE WITH OTHER INFINITI G35S, AND SOME OWNERS HAVE DESCRIBED A COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE ACCELERATOR WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING AT 40MPH, THE OTHER OWNERS WERE TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THEIR CARS. *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED SINCE PURCHASE WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE REVS WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. TO ELIMINATE THE REVVING AND ACCELERATION, THE BRAKE PEDAL MUST REMAIN DEPRESSED AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. ONCE WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE REVVED AND HIT CONCRETE STEPS AND ANOTHER VEHICLE. DURING THIS INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED SO FAST, THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WAS A POLICE REPORT FILED AT THE SCENE AND THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SALVAGE YARD WHERE IT AWAITS INSPECTION BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY.. UPDATED 09/06. *JB
SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR IN DECEMBER 2004, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THREE INSTANCES WHERE, WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, THE CAR SEEMED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WITH MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED; TO STOP THE FORWARD MOTION OF THE CAR, IT WAS NECESSARY TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL. AFTER SHIFTING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN NEUTRAL AND DRIVE SEVERAL TIMES, WITH THE BRAKE HEAVILY DEPRESSED, ENGINE SPEED EVENTUALLY RESUMED ITS NORMAL LEVEL. IN ALL THREE CASES, THE CAR WAS ON A DECLINING SURFACE WITH THE FRONT POINTING DOWNWARDS. NOW, WHENEVER I COME TO A STOP, I KEEP MY HAND ON THE SHIFT LEVER READY TO SLAM IT FORWARD INTO NEUTRAL, JUST IN CASE. I HAVE REPORTED ALL THREE INSTANCES TO INFINITI AND HAD THEM INSPECT THE CAR AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT. AS EXPECTED, THEY FOUND NOTHING AND DID NOTHING. *NM
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE AT A STOP, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES. THIS OCCURS WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE COMPUTER DOES NOT STORE ANY CODES AND THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 2/13/2006 - *NM
ON 2 OCCASIONS WHILE STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED BY ITSELF. HAD SOMEONE BEEN WALKING IN FRONT THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN RUN OVER BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. CAR WAS BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER, AND AFTER 3 DAYS OF DIAGNOSTICS THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I ONLY HAD THE CAR LESS THAN 2 WEEKS WHEN THESE 2 INCIDENTS HAPPENED, AND I DO NOT WANT TO GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS CAR ANYMORE . TOLD THIS TO INFINITI, AND THEY WERE CHECKING WITH DEALER ,AND SUPPOSE TO GET BACK TO ME. *AK *NM
