Reporting a sudden acceleration. Came to a stop (traffic light)suddenly the engine roared and the car took off with full speed. Hit a van at the drivers side backwheel area.the car was totalled. The insurance co.(21st century) hired an engineer who did not find any fault with the engine..this happened 2 times before.I complained to the dealer they could not duplicate the problem either before. Looked on the internet .several drivers had the same terrible experience. (allworldauto.com /2004infiniti g35 user comments/complaint) I am reporting this before someone will die.

This is a further complaint relative to complaint 10047159 related to a new infiniti g35 with less that 2000 miles on it when three incidents occurred. The incidents involved three occasions in which the car suddedly and unexpectedly accelerated to very high speeds without a action by the driver that should cause such accelerations. In two of the cases the car was in speed control; in one it was not. 2 of the cases: car in speed control at 60 miles an hour, foot well away from accelerator. Car suddenly accelerates full throttle to 90 miles an hour before very severe braking can bring car under control. Not only does stepping on the brake not take the car out of speed control, it does not significantly slow car as car continues to accelerate. Second occurrence involved car in speed control at 50 miles an hour. Same thing happens but I was not able to stop car as it rapidly accelerated and finally had to shut the ignition off and drift to the side of the road. Car was taken to dealer (infiniti of denver) on 11/14/03, and returned to me (car is actually registered in my wife's name, lois ringer) over my very strong objections on 12/1/03, with the statement that the dealer and infiniti engineers were unable to replicate the problem and therefore they would not investigate the problem further, based on direction from infiniti. The problem only occurs sporatically, so it is not surprising that they did not replicate the problem in the minor testing they did. A quick interaction with one bulletin board on the internet to see if any other owners of g35s were having the same problem revealed three other drivers having very similar problems. A letter was sent to the president of nissan america (which owns infiniti) on 11/14 to no avail. The similar problems of the other three owners are documented on the edmonds.com website. Go to the web site, go to town hall, infiniti g35 owners, problems & solutions, citations 967, 334, and 751.
