My boyfriend recently bought this car from a dealer that gave him a standard warranty and we have had the car for about 3 weeks now and after research I have found that the car has fuel gauge problems as well as when the vehicle is being steered is feels as if the car will slip. The car makes a few noises when you turn or stop as well. It almost feels as if the tires will fall off. I have mentioned it to him but I let him handle the car business. The fact is I drive the car to transport our child and I am worried about the safety of the vehicle. I also have found that the car has had a recall on it for those specific problems I have previously noted. I am not sure if I can report this or what can I do about this car.

I recently received a recall notice regarding my 2006 infiniti m45. It states the vehicle goes into "limp home mode" due to a defective accelerator pedal sensor/ecu setting. I took the vehicle to park place infiniti in las vegas, nv for recall repairs. They said my vehicle does not fall into the range of VIN #'s associated with the problem and to come back later if I receive further notice. I did not report my vehicle experiencing this problem in the past because I thought maybe it went into limp home mode due to the fuel level being low. It only seems to do it when the fuel is low enough for the fuel light to come on. I have since received an "interim notice" from infiniti regarding the federal safety agency recall 13v‑430 and it identifies my VIN #. I also have concerns with this vehicle's defective 4.5 liter engine. The piston rings are faulty causing excessive oil consumption, smoking, and banging and rattling. In addition, the co-existence of a driver's seat that moves forward upon braking and a steering system that loses control upon braking make driving the vehicle much less safe than a $45,000.00 car, or any car for that matter, should be.
