These defective parks keeps making the idle jump and sometimes stall. I keep replacing them to see if they are bad but will not clear the check engine light.
2006 Infiniti M35 acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Driving north on i95 near fayetteville, cruising at 75 MPH, had to accelerate suddenly to get into left lane ahead of other traffic, and make room for on-ramp car entering highway. When I floored the accelerator, my car engine stopped immediately, and I had to coast to a stop on the shoulder. I was able to call a tow truck, who delivered me to a local auto repair shop. The shop manager informed me of the failure as determined by the electronic analysis. Since he had to order parts, he had to take me and my family to a car rental company. After about 5 days, the car was ready for pickup. The repair cost was $939.42, the rental cost was $174.18, and I drove about 210 extra miles making gas cost about $30. At the time, I assumed this was an unusual but isolated product failure. Now, I see the federal safety agency recall 13v‑430 and believe that my situation was due to this faulty part. I would like reimbursement, and also a review of my car's system as repaired to replace parts further as necessary.
While driving on a freeway at low rate of speed (rush hour) I have experienced engine stall condition. All warning lights went on,including brake indicator. I was able to shift gear into park position and shut the vehicle down. After a couple minutes, I restarted the engine and drived home. That was one scary moment.
My infiniti m35x accelerated unexpectedly during parking causing me to crash into a building and resulting in $10k worth of vehicular damage. The impact jarred me such that I temporarily became disoriented and was unsure of "what just happened." a second incident of such nature occurred when the car unexpectedly accelerated, almost causing the vehicle to careen over a railing at a local shopping center. In the former instance there was no property or physical damage. The vehicle often surges without pressure to the gas pedal or when pressing the brake.
I have a 2006 infiniti m35 with 42k miles. While driving, the engine stopped responding to the accelerator. I pushed the accelerator to the floor and tried pumping the pedal and nothing. The engine sat at an idle and would not respond. As I approached a stop light with stopped traffic and began to apply the brakes, the car began to accelerate by itself. Let me be clear that I was applying the brakes and felt the brakes beginning to slow the vehicle when the engine began to race. I was able to overcome the engine trying to accelerate and bring the car to a stop without impacting other traffic. But, I was sitting parked at the stop light with the brake mashed to the floor while the engine tachometer continued to register 2500 rpms. I managed to make it to the nearby dealership where I bought the vehicle. Along the way, the engine rpms continued to jump erratically causing sudden uncontrolled acceleration. The dealership performed diagnostics on the car and determined that the throttle position sensor had failed and was sending erroneous data to the car?s computer. In my view, this vehicle has fundamental engineering and design flaws that present a risk to the larger public when a sensor failure can cause sudden uncontrolled acceleration. Moreover, when applying the brakes does not override the programming logic and stop the engine from racing, there is obviously a greater opportunity for improved safety logic. While, I managed to safely navigate the resulting hazards this time, next time I may not be so lucky.
I was backing into my driveway, when I stepped on the brake the car accelerated and did not stop until it hit a concrete wall in my backyard, knocking it down. I contacted infiniti consumer affairs. I was advised not to move the car, a dealer technician would be sent to look at the car. Finally, almost two months later, on 11/1 I had the car towed to a dealership and the technician looked at it on 11/2. All he did was drive the car, he did not do any diagnostic testing. I am still waiting for the results. I am very disappointed with inifiniti's customer service, it stinks. My insurance co., state farm, which I thought I could depend on to get things done, such as demanding more detailed testing, etc., did nothing. No one seems concerned with the fact that someone could be seriously injured or killed as a result of this problem. I am terrified of having to drive that car again.
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle lost power and stalled at highway speeds of 55 MPH without warning on two occasions. After both incidents the vehicle was driven away from the sight slowly and taken to a service dealer. After the first incident the dealership replaced the throttle body. When the vehicle was returned to the dealer after the second occurrence, the dealer was able to duplicate the problem. The dealer replaced the wiring harness. Updated 06/16/06.
Dt*: the contact stated while applying the brakes the vehicle suddenly accelerated without warning. The sudden acceleration caused the vehicle to crash into a concrete wall, causing a minor knee injury. The vehicle was towed to the dealership as a precaution. Upon inspection the dealership was unable to duplicate the problem. The problem occurred on multiple occasions and was inspected each time.
