The car stalls. The power steering no longer works when the car stalls. I have been in traffic, multiple times, when the car stalled. It creates an unsafe situation because the traffic behind me has to apply the brakes or swerve around me. Long ago took the car to infiniti and they did a $300+ 3 point fuel injection clean, etc. They could not duplicate the problem and there was no code, so they said they couldn't help but the 3 point service might resolve the problem. They also told me I needed some updates, 3 I thing at $165 each!? When I asked if that would resolve the problem, they couldn't say. I see this issue on infiniti forums but no recall. This problem does not produce a code and no warning signs/lights. I really like the car but these issues don't make it fun or safe to drive. I'm hopeful to get this problem resolved. Thank you.

Car accelerates while coasting as in driving at low speeds and it stalls as well car shut off on me 10 times already. Took it to infiniti dealer I was told it has a p0024 soft code related to the magnetic retarders problem is this issue hardly throws a code with this issue my car check engine light is off but yet the car malfunctions. I have read numerous reports in car forums looks like this is a really big issue with this car that has gone under the radar with this particular car make and model.

This vehicle randomly and suddenly has engine failure. This alone should really not be much of an issue except this advanced technology vehicle looses steering and brakes as soon as the engine quits. I have had 3 near misses with accidents as a result. The dealership is not able to find the problem even though there is a service bulletin out about this problem. There are no computer codes left behind to detect why the stalls are occurring. The only thing that has saved me is that the vehicle can be started again in neutral which restores steering and breaking power. It is a scary and unsafe vehicle at this time and no body seems to be able to find a cure.

I do see multiple other owners with the same issues. Please find my issues here.......issue 1: the gas gauge improperly represents the fuel level in the tank and the following issues are constantly present: 1) a full tank is never shown via the gauge 2) the gas gauge sporadically jumps around regardless of the amount of gas in the tank 3) the "empty" light comes on when there is as much as 1/2 tank of gas. This is very dangerous for me as this is my family car and I have a 2 year old son in my vehicle a lot and what if my car would stall out on the highway?? It is a good thing that I am able to keep calculations on the amount of miles per gallon my car usually gets. I was going 30 MPH and turned from a light and didn't realize my gas was as low as it was and my car stalled out, luckily I was able to get over to the side of the road. Issue:2 the locks fail to react to the lock unlock function and the beep sound doesn't go off.
