I was driving the car the engine was warm and running just fine. Then out of no where the car at 40 MPH engine begin wildly revving the rpms went directly home and in park it was doing the same thing. Turned it off called a tow truck had it towed in to local shop. A check engine light came on showing a p0505 code. The shop replaced the iacm and then the ecu at a cost of over car was returned same code and check engine light on the mechanic said it would not relearn idle and to drive it around and see if that would help. I am an elderly woman and I spend the next few days riding the brake to keep the car in control. Idle was running high in park and drive. I was becoming afraid of the car and decided to take it to the infiniti dealer for repairs. With same p0505 code and check engine light and in less then seven days the iacm and ecu once again needed to be replaced. That's because the motor mounts failed and since they are fluid filled they leaked causing the other parts to short out. The infiniti dealer said the three parts are all on the same circuit but this is only known to infiniti mechanics. The repair is now over $3000.00 pus the first charge. This is way more then my car value. I researched this condition on the internet. Kids have been driving these cars when the failure occurs at 80 MPH with both feet on the brake. I never write anything on the internet but I am concerned this is going to cause a crash and someone may be seriously hurt. Car has 110000. Miles I will pay for the repairs out of pocket but I think this should be a recall.

The service engine light has come on several times since I purchased the car. When I would go into the dealer, they would inform me that the light came on because I did not close the gas tank tight enough. After I was told this, I made sure to close the gas tank tightly. The light still continued to come on. Now the car is not under warranty and the dealer told me it would cost about $1,500 to fix the check engine light problem. I think the problem was identified early on, but the dealer was not able to fix the problem.
