2004 INFINITI G35 Electrical System Problems

Lock actuators on passenger side have NEVER worked, fuel pump stops working when filling up tank even though not nearly full (have to repush the pump in several times - sometimes it doesn’t let me fill up tank totally because it thinks it’s full), right headlights fog up and can't be polished, light bulbs went out. Cruise control NEVER worked, a/c stopped working at 77,000 miles, window motor on both doors broke before 75,000 miles

My heater and AC lights kicks on and off causing my windows to fog making it easy to have an accident. There is a ticking as well but no lights

RECALL NUMBER R2022 INFINITI RECALL R3021 THERE IS A RECALL FOR SOME INFINITIS BUT NOT MINE BUT IM HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS THIS RECALL A FAILED CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND FAILED CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR LIKE ON THE RECALL ABOVE EXCEPT MY VIN DID NOT MATCH THE VEHICLES THAT WERE RECALLED ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY VEHICLE FALLS INTO THE MAKE MODEL AND YEAR OF WHICH THE RECALL WAS MADE. OUT OF NOWHERE MY CAR WILL SHUT OFF AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED AND AT LOW RATES OF SPEED WITHOUT ANY WARNING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL AS OTHER LIGHTS AND THE CODE IS FOR THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR FAULTING AND THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS FAULTING. THE CAR CAN BE IN MOTION AT 5MPH OR EVEN AT 70MPH AND THE CAR WILL COMNPLETELY DIE WITH NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE AS THE STERRING WHEEL LOCKS UP COMPLETELY. NOT SURE WHY OTHER INFINITI G35 COUPES WERE COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL BUT IM HAVING THE VERY SAME ISSUES AS THE OTHERS WITH FAILED SENSORS

AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD HAS FAILED CAUSING FAILURE OF AUTO HEAT AND AC CONTROL TO FUNCTION CAUSING WINDOWS TO FOG CREATING AN UNSAFE CONDITION. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE AND AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE REPAIR.THIS HAS BEEN ADDRESSED FOR 2003 MODELS WITH NHTSA 100001246 AND NHTSA 100001162, INFINITI SHOULD RECALL THE 2004

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED IT WILL SUDDENLY GO INTO "SLIP " MODE. THE SERVICE ENGINE, VDC OFF, AND SLIP WARNING LIGHTS COME ON, THE ACCELERATOR STOPS FUNCTIONING AND THE ENGINE COASTS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. THERE IS AN ACTIVE CAMPAIGN THAT I HAVE INCLUDED BELOW ON THE SAME VEHICHLES THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND SOME FROM 2004. WHEN I CONTACTED INFINITI MULTIPLE TIMES ABOUT MY VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THEY REFUSED TO INCLUDE MY CAR. SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE CIRCUIT BOARD FOR THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR OR CAM POSITION SENSOR MAY HAVE AN IMPROPER SOLDER JOINT DUE TO SOLDER DEFORMATION CAUSED BY HEAT STRESS ACCELERATED BY THE EXISTENCE OF FLUX RESIDUE DURING THE SOLDERING PROCESS. CONSEQUENCE: THIS COULD CAUSE THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON, CREATE A NO START CONDITION, CAUSE REDUCED ENGINE POWER, OR CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING DURING VEHICLE OPERATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CRANK POSITION SENSORS. CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR(S), AND IN SOME CASES, THE VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL SENSOR(S). VEHICLES INVOLVED IN A PREVIOUS RECALL CAMPAIGN, 01V357, ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS NEW CAMPAIGN. THE REPLACEMENT SENSORS USED IN THAT CAMPAIGN ARE ALSO AFFECTED. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON DECEMBER 22, 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261 OR INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200. NOTES: NISSAN RECALL NO. R3022/INFINITI RECALL NO. R3021. CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED AND DEPICTED COPIOUS TIMES ON MULTIPLE SITES, MY 2004 G35 (BUILT IN 2003 AND PURCHASED 11/03 W/ ONLY 43,544 MILES) STALLS W/O WARNING. ENGINE AND VDC LIGHTS SHOW ONLY AFTER ENGINE STALLS. IF IDLE RPMS ARE INCREASED TO 1,000, TO PREVENT STALLING, THE ENGINE IDLE LOPES NOTICEABLY. THIS SAFETY ISSUE HAS OCCURRED BOTH WHILE STOPPED (STOP LIGHTS/SIGNS) AND WHILE DRIVING 4 OUT OF THE LAST 4 TIMES DRIVEN. RESEARCH INDICATES THE FIX CONSISTS OF CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND CRANKSHAFT ANGLE SENSORS. IT IS PATENTLY OBVIOUS THAT REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE (I.E. 100K+ OR IN MY CASE 43K MILES) THE ENGINE WILL STALL, JEOPARDIZING THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER(S) RESULTING FROM BEING HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES, THEREBY ENDANGERING THE OCCUPANTS OF ANY/ALL VEHICLES. THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT BE THE CAUSAL FACTOR FOR INDIVIDUALS BEING HURT/MAIMED/KILLED DUE TO AN OBVIOUS ENGINEERING/MANUFACTURING ERROR BY NISSAN/INFINITI, NOR SHOULD AN OWNER BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR A BLATANTLY OBVIOUS MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT'S, BY BEING REQUIRED TO PAY FOR A SYSTEM BEYOND THEIR CONTROL AND THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ACTUAL MANUFACTURER. PLEASE RESEARCH THE WARRANTY AND REPAIR ORDERS, AS WELL AS THE MYRIAD OF THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINTS BY CONSUMERS, REFLECTED ON ON-LINE SITES AND FORUMS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO RISE TO THE LEVEL OF THE AIR BAGS, EXPLODING GAS TANKS, ETC...RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT INJURY OR DEATH. RESPECTFULLY.

I'M ASTOUNDINGLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND 2004 G35 I'VE OWNED AND THE FIRST ONE I PURCHASED BRAND NEW, OWNED 9 YEARS, DROVE 230,000 MILES AND HAD NONE OF THESE ISSUES/FAILURES WHEN IT WAS SOLD TO A HAPPY NEW OWNER ... ALTHOUGH IT WAS A G35X. THIS IS HOW I KNOW THESE ARE IN FACT FAILURES/DEFECTS IN THIS SECOND ONE. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT EXPERIENCED ANY RECENT DAMAGE OR KNOWN PROBLEMS, YET THE LAST FEW DAYS EVERY TIME IT HAS BEEN STARTED, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS REMAINING LIT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE IT DECIDES TO GO OFF ON THE DASH. IT LINGERS AND THEN FINALLY GOES OUT. IT HAS BEEN VERY RAINY AND HUMID HERE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD AND WE ARE A STATE TARGETED FOR TAKATA RECALL, BUT THIS VEHICLE IS "NOT ONE" ALLEGEDLY. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY! THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN 2 DIFFERENT INCIDENTS OF PERFORMANCE FAILURES WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS (FORTUNATELY) WHERE THE CAR HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN, THE DASH LIT UP WITH THE VDC SLIP AND OTHER LIGHTS, NO STEERING WAS AVAILABLE AND I WAS STRANDED IN TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART TEMPORARILY AND I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO SIT UNTIL IT WOULD RESTART. THIS WAS A DANGER TO MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHERS. THIS NEVER HAPPENED IN MY OTHER G WITH OVER 230,000 MILES ON IT. THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW ALSO DECIDED TO LOWER AND RAISE ITSELF ON ITS OWN. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THIS ISSUE AND THE PROBLEM WOULDN'T REPLICATE, OF COURSE. THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT HAS BEEN OUT SINCE AROUND 115,000 MILES. NEVER FAILED ON MY G35X IN THE 230,000 MILES. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT ON THIS ONE AND ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I READ. AN LED SHOULDN'T FAIL LIKE THIS OR ALL THESE OTHERS I READ. WHEN IT'S A DEALER ONLY ITEM AND COSTS APPROX. $400 TO BE INSTALLED ~ IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THESE ISSUES AND HELP US. I'VE HAD 2 ... HERE'S PROOF..

WAS MANEUVERING A GENTLE RIGHT HAND CURVE ON A 4 LANE CITY STREET. THE CAR JUST SIMPLY DIED. WITHOUT THE ENGINE RUNNING THE POWER STEERING WAS NULLIFIED AND THE VEHICLE WANTED TO CONTINUE IN A STRAIGHT LINE. APPROXIMATELY 200 FT. AHEAD THERE WAS AN AREA WITH A DRIVEWAY BELONGING TO THE WATER DEPT. WHICH I WAS ABLE TO WRESTLE THE VEHICLE ONTO, OUT OF TRAFFIC. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AND AAA WAS CALLED. IT WAS TOWED TO THE GARAGE WHERE THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THE CAM POSITION SENSOR WAS FAULTY AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITH A NEW ONE. ABOUT A YEAR LATER THE SAME THING OCCURRED AGAIN AS I WAS TURNING A CORNER. WITHOUT POWER STEERING OR BRAKES I COLLIDED WITH THE VEHICLE WAITING AT THE LIGHT. FORTUNATELY, MY SPEED WAS 10 TO 15 MPH AND DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES WAS MINIMAL. THE CAM POSITION SENSOR WAS AGAIN, THE CULPRIT. LAST WED. 4/29/15, THERE WAS ANOTHER OCCURRENCE THEN AGAIN TODAY 5/3/15, YET ANOTHER. WITH THE LAST TWO, THE CAR WAS QUICKLY PUT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED. RESEARCH REVEALED MALFUNCTIONS WITH BOTH THE CAM POSITION SENSOR AND THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WERE CAUSE FOR A RECALL WITH INFINITI BUT IT SEEMS EVERYONE THAT HAD SUBMITTED A THREAD CONCERNING THE PROBLEM REPORTED THE VIN NUMBER ON THEIR VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE "LIST" THAT QUALIFIED FOR ANY ACTION FROM THE MANUFACTURER. WHAT??? IF THIS LIFE THREATENING OCCURRENCE IS HAPPENING TO LITERALLY DOZENS OF INFINITI OWNERS, WHY IS THERE A QUALIFYING LIST??? *TR

I DROVE TO BALTIMORE FROM DC AND BACK WITH NO ISSUES, THEN TURNED TO GO INTO THE ALLEYWAY BEHIND MY HOME. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND WOULD NOT TURN AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON, INCLUDING THE BRAKE LIGHT. MY BRAKE PAD FROZE MIDWAY DOWN, STOPPING THE CAR, BUT NOT BUDGING, EVEN WHEN I TAPPED THE GAS PEDAL. I PUT ON AND OFF THE PARKING BRAKE, TO NO AVAIL. I TRIED TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AROUND, BUT COULD NOT. THEN I TRIED TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT, BUT IT TOOK ME THREE TRIES. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, THE BRAKE PAD STARTED FUNCTIONING NORMALLY AGAIN AND THE CAR HAS BEEN NORMAL EVER SINCE. ADDITIONALLY, NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED BEFORE. *TR

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2004 INFINITY G35X FOR MY DAUGHTER. IT WAS DISCLOSED AT PURCHASE THAT THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT WAS OUT BUT I FIGURED THAT WAS NOT A DEALBREAKER, I WOULD GET THE LIGHT FIXED EASILY. WELL, I CONTACTED OUR LOCAL INFINITY DEALER AND WAS QUOTED $480 TO REPLACE A 6 LED BOARD!! WHAT?? AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE I DISCOVERED VIA INFINITY CAR FORUMS (G35DRIVER.COM, X.INFINITIHELP.COM, NICOFORUMS.COM) THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. THE OEM BOARD IS KNOWN TO BE A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. THIS IS A FEDERALLY MANDATED SAFETY ISSUE! INFINITY SHOULD BE MADE TO RECALL AND REPAIR THESE BAD BRAKE LIGHTS. IT IS THE LAW THAT THESE LIGHTS BE THERE AND WORKING. I SINCERELY HOPE SOMEONE AT YOUR BRANCH WILL TAKE NOTICE OF THIS ISSUE AND FORCE THE MANUFACTURER TO MAKE IT RIGHT. *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY 2004 G35X OUTRIGHT FOR 9 YEARS NOW. BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN 2005. I HAVE KEPT UP ALL THE MAINTENANCE, AND HAVE LOVED MY CAR UP UNTIL THIS POINT. I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROAD, AND DECIDED TO PASS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY SPEED WAS APPROX 70 MPH AND I HAD NOT QUITE PASSED THEM WHEN THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. THE VDC LIGHT/SLIP LIGHT/SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ALL CAME ON. DASH LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. MY STEERING WAS NON EXISTANT, AND HAD COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. LUCKILY NO ONE ELSE WAS ON THE ROAD!!! AND I COASTED INTO A DRIVEWAY. WAITED A FEW MINUTES, AND THE CAR STARTED UP FINE. FAST FORWARD TO JANUARY, AND I WAS DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC GOING ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED. LUCKILY, AGAIN, I WAS ABLE TO GET CAR TO A SAFE PLACE. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A FAILURE ON 2 SENSORS. CAM AND CRANKSHAFT, THE SAME SENSORS THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED ON THE 2003 MODELS AND 2005!!!! VERY HARROWING, AND FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. ALSO MEMORABLE ON MY PURSE AS THE COST TO FIX WAS $770, HOWEVER THE DEALER WAS KIND TO GIVE ME A DISCOUNT AND A LOANER CAR, AND GOOD SERVICE. SHOULDNT THE 2004 BEEN RECALLED AS WELL!!!???? SEEMS THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME MAKE/MODEL AND SAME DEFECTIVE PART. I AM GLAD I WAS NOT AND THAT ANOTHER CAR WERE NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT STEMMING FROM THIS DEFECT. THIS CAR WILL CLEARLY BE OUT ON THE ROADS FOR AWHILE, AS SOME MIGHT GIVE IT TO THEIR KIDS FOR THEIR FIRST CAR, EVEN THOUGH IT IS 10 YEARS OLD. I'M CLEARLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE! *TR

THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ON THE REAR DECK HAS FAILED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. THEY WANT SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE UNIT. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THIS IS A VOLUMINOUS PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL YEAR. IT WAS RECALLED AND ADDRESSED BY INFINITI FOR THE 2003 MODEL YEAR G AND IT IS STILL A PROBLEM FOR THE 2004 YEAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED ACCORDINGLY AT THE MANUFACTURER COST. ALL THESE OWNERS ARE NOT HAVING THE SAME FAILING ISSUES WITHOUT CAUSE. I OWN TWO 2004 INFINITI G35 SEDANS. I USED TO LOVE BOTH OF THEM. THIS ONE HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT AND NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS MYSTERIOUSLY BLINKING FOR NO REASON! THE OTHER ONE HAS HAD ISSUES FOR YEARS WITH BEING ABLE TO PUT GAS IN AND I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS AT THE GAS STATION TRYING TO FILL THE CAR! RIDICULOUS! IF INFINITI DOESN'T DO SOMETHING ... I'LL BE SWITCHING MAKERS. THIS ONE LISTED ALSO HAS FUEL PRESURE REGULATOR/DAMPER FAILURES ... WHILE MY OTHER '04 G (WITH OVER 200,000 MILES ON IT) HAS NONE. EXPLAIN THAT. I LIVE THE REAL ... BETWEEN TWO OF THE SAME MODEL YEAR. FIX THE PROBLEMS INFINITI! *TR

YESTERDAY, JULY 9, 2012, WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS ON A MAIN CITY STREET THE ENGINE ON MY 2004 INFINITI G35 JUST STOPPED RUNNING. LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. MANAGED TO MANUALLY STEER THE CAR OFF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT. THE VDC OFF AND SLIP LIGHTS AND THE CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHTS CAME ON. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND JUST SAT THERE, STUNNED, FOR A FEW MINUTES. I DECIDED TO TRY TO START IT UP AGAIN, AND IT DID START AND SOUNDED OK, SO I SLOWLY DROVE IT ON HOME. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE FOR THE NEXT HOUR, I KIND OF FIGURED IT MIGHT BE THIS DEFECTIVE CAM POSITION SENSOR, AS THE SYMPTOMS MY CAR DISPLAYED SOUNDED JUST LIKE WHAT SO MANY OTHERS WERE DESCRIBING, PLUS INIFINITI AND NISSAN HAD A RECALL FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM ISSUED ON THE 2003 G35. I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH OTHERS THAT THE 2004 G35 SHOULD BE UNDER THIS SAME RECALL. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE DRIVING AND SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING, LOSE ALL ENGINE POWER. I WILL ADD THAT LATER THAT EVENING I HAD TO GO SOMEWHERE, SO I TOOK A CHANCE THAT IT WOULD MAKE IT. IT QUIT ON ME TWICE IN THE AREA AROUND MY HOME WITHIN 10 BLOCKS. SO, OBVIOUSLY I CANNOT TAKE THIS CAR VERY FAR FROM HOME WITHOUT GETTING THIS REPAIRED AND REPLACED. I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE TODAY TO HAVE THEM FIND OUT THE CODE FOR THE CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT. IT'S WHAT I SUSPECTED, 0340, WHICH IS THE PASSENGER SIDE CAM POSITION SENSOR. THE VERY THING ON THE 2003 INIFINITI G35 MODEL RECALL. *TR

I HAD THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS, AND THE DEALER RECOMMENDED THE SAME PARTS TO BE REPLACED AS AFFECTED BY AN EARLIER RECALL: RECALL ID# 03V455000 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING RECALL DATE: NOV 17, 2003 MODEL AFFECTED: INFINITI G35 SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE CIRCUIT BOARD FOR THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR OR CAM POSITION SENSOR MAY HAVE AN IMPROPER SOLDER JOINT DUE TO SOLDER DEFORMATION CAUSED BY HEAT STRESS ACCELERATED BY THE EXISTENCE OF FLUX RESIDUE DURING THE SOLDERING PROCESS. CONSEQUENCE: THIS COULD CAUSE THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON, CREATE A NO START CONDITION, CAUSE REDUCED ENGINE POWER, OR CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING DURING VEHICLE OPERATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CRANK POSITION SENSORS. CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR(S), AND IN SOME CASES, THE VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL SENSOR(S). VEHICLES INVOLVED IN A PREVIOUS RECALL CAMPAIGN, 01V357, ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS NEW CAMPAIGN. THE REPLACEMENT SENSORS USED IN THAT CAMPAIGN ARE ALSO AFFECTED.

ON MARCH 11 MY 2004 INFINITY G35X EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE ALARMING SYSTEM FAILURE. THE POWER STEERING FAILED, THE BRAKES FAILED, IN FACT EVERY COMPONENT NOT RUNNING ON THE BATTERY FAILED. THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS LOOKED LIKE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS. I WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME. FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A SIDE STREET, AND NOT A HIGHWAY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED A P-0340 CODE AND REPLACED BANK 1, CAM SENSOR. THIS VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 41,000 MILES AND IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. I NOTICED ON-LINE THAT THIS PART WAS PART OF A VOLUNTARY RECALL IN MODEL YEARS 2003 AND 2005, BUT NOT MY YEAR, BUT ALSO THAT THE FAILURES REPORTED WERE AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME MILEAGE AS MY VEHICLE. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT HAD I BEEN ON A STREET WITH MORE TRAFFIC AS I HAD ONLY BRUTE FORCE CONTROL OVER THE BRAKES AND STEERING. MY IMPRESSION AT THE DEALER WAS THAT THEY WERE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE DISPLAY OF WARNINGS ON MY DASH PANEL.
