DRIVING ON MY CITY ROAD AT 45 MPH MY INFINITI M35 INSTANTLY WENT FROM NORMAL RPMS TO 0, BRAKES LOCKING AND STEERING AS WELL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF INTO A COMPANY PARKING LOT TO TURN MY INFINITI OFF AFTER GETTING IT IMMEDIATELY IN PARK. I TRIED TO RESTART MY CAR AND ALMOST FIVE DAYS OF TRYING AND HAVING IT TOWED HOME, I AM STILL UNABLE TO GET MY CAR TO RESTART. ALL OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FROM SLIP, BRAKE, SERVICE ENGINNE, THE BATTERY, ETC CONTINUE TO STAY ON. THE CAR WILL TRY TO CRANK BUT WON'T TURN OVER. I HAVE TRIED REPLACING THE KEY FOB BATTERIES, PUT NEW OIL, ALL NEW GAS, 2 NEW BATTERIES, MULTIPLE JUMPS, CHECKED ALL FUSES, AND STILL NOTHING. THE BRAKES ARE STILL HARD TO PRESS ON AND LOCKED SINCE THE IDLING AND THEY WON'T EVEN HARDLY MOVE AS I TRY STARTING THE IGNITION. AFTER A FEW TRIES OF TRYING TO CRANK ALL THE LIGHTS STAY ON THEN LOSES ALL POWER AGAIN.

IT'S SIMPLE MY FANS ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL WHEN I TURN MY A.C. ON MY CAR RUNS HOT WHEN I CUT IT OF THE TEMPERATURE COMES DOWN AS I DRIVE BUT TODAY MY CAR WENT SO HOT THAT MY CAR TURNED OFF AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING MY FANS TO NOT WORK PLEASE HELP I CAN'T GET TO WORK AT ALL.

ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR TWO DAYS IN A ROW I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION. I HAD NO THROTTLE CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE CREPT FORWARD AT IDLE SPEED UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO PULL OUT OF THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC SAFELY. THERE WAS A RECALL A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE AND I HAD MY VEHICLE REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL. APPARENTLY THIS ISSUE PERSISTS. AN ENGINE CODE WAS SET AS EVIDENCED BY THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" DISPLAY. I HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO INVESTIGATE THIS CODE.

ON MARCH 9TH, 2015 MY 2006 INFINITI M35 STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND WOULDN'T START AGAIN. I CHECKED THE FUSES AND BATTERY AND COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES SO I HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL INFINITI DEALER. INITIALLY THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE ECM (BRAIN) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND, AFTER A FAIR AMOUNT OF PRESSURE FROM ME TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT, THE NISSAN FACTORY AGREED TO COVER THE ECM REPLACEMENT (~$2200). ON APRIL 9TH, 2015 THEY INFORMED ME MY CAR WAS "FIXED AND READY" HOWEVER WHEN DRIVING HOME IT STALLED ON THE FREEWAY (WHILE GOING ~70MPH WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME) AND AGAIN, IT WOULDN'T START. I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND PAID FOR AN ADVANCED DIAGNOSTIC ($420) AT WHICH TIME THEY DISCOVERED "MELTED AND SHORTING" WIRES BETWEEN THE POWER DISTRIBUTION UNIT (PDU) AND THE FUSE BOX... ON APRIL 22ND, 2015 THEY REPLACED THESE WIRES (THEY NEVER ACTUALLY DIAGNOSED THE CAUSE OF THE MELTED SHORTING WIRES) AND THEY AGAIN TOLD ME MY CAR WAS "FIXED AND READY"... YET AGAIN, WHILE DRIVING HOME THE CAR STALLED ON THE FREEWAY AND WOULDN'T START. I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THEY CALLED IN AN ADVANCED FACTORY TECHNICIAN WHO DETERMINED THAT THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS AND ANOTHER WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THEY'RE QUOTING ME AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT FOR THE REPAIR ($8400). THE CAR CURRENTLY SHOWS A ~$10.5K VALUE ON KELLEY BLUE BOOK... *TR

WHEN DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP AT (30-35 MPH) YOU WOULD HEAR A LOUD "CLUNK", AND THE ENGINE WOULD STOP. YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND NO BRAKES. WE EXPERIENCED THIS INFINITY DEFECT 7-8 TIMES OVER A 90 DAY PERIOD. FIRST INCIDENT 9-14-13. NOTE- RECEIVED RECALL LETTER (13V-430) FROM INFINITY 11-04-13. MADE SERVICE APT WITH NALLEY INFINITY, MARIETTA, GA. TO PERFORM WORK RELATED TO RECALL LETTER. I WAS REIMBURSED FOR REPAIRS MADE ON 9-14-13. HOWEVER, ON 12-26-13 WHILE DRIVING IN JACKSONVILLE, FLA. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED, AND REPEATED ITSELF 3-4 TIMES THAT EVENING BEFORE I COULD REACH THE INFINITY OF ORANGE PK. FLA. ON 12-27-13. INFINITY OF ORANGE PK. MADE THE REPAIRS... THE COST TO ME FOR THIS REPAIR WAS $561. THIS ITEMIZED BILL WAS SENT TO INFINITY CONSUMER AFFAIRS IN FRANKLIN, TN, AND THEY REFUSED REIMBURSEMENT. STATING THAT THEY COULD ONLY REIMBURSE FOR ONE OCCURRENCE. THIS INIFINITY INCIDENT WAS VERY DANGEROUS, FREIGHTING AND SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS. WE ARE FORTUNATE... THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, BUT IT HAS DESTROYED OUR CONFIDENCE IN THE INFINITY AUTO, INFINITY SERVICE AND ALL INFINITY PRODUCTS. *TR
