THE CAR STARTED NORMALLY AND AFTER DRIVING ABOUT A QUARTER OF A MILE I WAS SUDDENLY COASTING WITHOUT POWER. THE ENGINE JUST QUIT. WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND BRAKES I WAS STILL ABLE TO GUIDE IT TO THE CURB AND COME TO A SAFE STOP. WHAT I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR IT ACTED AS IF THE BATTERY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO TURN OVER THE ENGINE, ALTHOUGH LIGHTS, HORN AND RADIO STILL WORKED FINE. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND AFTER WEEK OF UNSUCCESSFUL TROUBLESHOOTING THE INFINITI REPS GOT INVOLVED. WHEN THE OIL PAN WA…

THIS VEHICLE HAS THE PRO-PILOT ASSIST WHICH KEEPS THE VEHICLE BETWEEN THE LINES CENTERED. IT IS AN AUTO STEER. WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS TIMES WHERE THE STEERING WILL GO FROM LINE TO LINE, IT WILL CROSS THE LINE PUT YOU ON SHOULDER, CROSS THE CENTER OR EVEN MOVE YOU INTO ANOTHER LANE WITH TRAFFIC IN IT.

THEY SAID UNLESS THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ( FOR ENGINE CODE) THEY WILL DO NOTHING. THIS IS A FEATU…

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL DECLINE IN ACCELERATION AND YOU CAN NOT INCREASE ACCELERATION. WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF, THE CAR WILL PROCEED AT A SLOW PACE. INFINITI DEALER TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO LET THE CAR WARM UP FOR 30 MINUTES. THE ENGINE MAKES NOISE AS IF THE VEHICLE IS IN NEUTRAL. AT TIMES, ONCE TAKING YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SWITCH THE GAS, THE CAR WILL TAKE OFF FROM UNDER YOUR FOOT. WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR WILL COME TO A COMPLETE HALT AS IF IT WAS APPROACHING A COLLISION. ALL EMERGENCY INDICATORS WILL GO OFF. THE CAR MUS…

There is a continuous issues with my battery dying. There are multiple malfunction lights showing, particularly the rear collision light. The check engine light is also showing, and I have had an oil change recently. The car breaks on its own. While backing into a space, the steering wheel would not completely turn right until I straightened up the car. Finally. I have had my driver's side car seat repaired three times by the dealership. It works sometimes and not others. Any suggestions on any or all of this would be helpful. Thank you.

My Infiniti started making a slight ticking noise. The next day, the car abruptly stalled out while going down the highway causing the vehicle to loose speed and experience engine failure. Luckily, I was able to steer the vehicle to a more manageable location out of traffic. I had lost engine power and steering. After a certified mechanics diagnosis, the engine was declared blown. The bearings and rods have failed and the engine is no longer in repairable condition. The vehicle was serviced per manufacture regularly and there had been no signs …
