2010 INFINITI M35 Complaints

The car accelerated without warning. I did not have my foot on the gas and the car just sped up. This has happened 2 times. The first time I didnt have an accident but today I did. I ran into a pole. I could have killed myself or someone around me when the car sped up. No warning. I took the car to the dealer and they admitted that there had been a recall but stated it was fixed on my car but it has not been fixed....here is the recall information 2010 INFINITI M35 Report Date: September 26, 2013 Campaign Number: 13V430000 Component: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL Summary: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 INFINITI M35 and M45 vehicles manufactured April 4, 2004, through October 5, 2010.

ON 5/8/15 I LEFT PAINT SHOP AND WAS GOING DOWN A DRIVEWAY (DOWNHILL) AND AS I APPROACHED STREET (RT 26 LIBERY ROAD) I PRESSED BRAKE AND MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I REPEATEDLY PRESSED BRAKE AND IT CONTINUED TO GO FORWARD INTO STREET. CARS WERE HONKING AND SWERVING TO AVOID HITTING ME. I CONTINUED TO PRESS BRAKE HOWEVER MY CAR CONTINUED TO GO FORWARD ABOUT 100 METERS THRU A RED LIGHT NEARLY COLLIDING WITH SEVERAL CARS AT THE INTERSECTION OF MARRIOTTSVILLE & LIBERTY ROAD BEFORE IT CAME TO A STOP.

I BOUGHT A 2010 INFINITI M35X FROM A HONDA DEALER WITH 80000 MILES. DURING THE FIRST HIGHWAY TRIP I FOUND OUT THAT IT'S TOO HARD TO KEEP THIS VEHICLE WITHIN THE DRIVING LANE WITHOUT CONSTANT STEERING ADJUSTMENTS. THE CAR MOVES TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER IF THE ROAD IS NOT PERFECT. ALSO IF I TOOK MY EYES OFF THE ROAD FOR A SPLIT SECOND I COULD RISK LEAVING MY LANE. THIS IS A VERY UNSETTLING DRIVING EXPERIENCE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER FOR POSSIBLE WHEEL ALIGNMENT. THEY CHECKED THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS OFF AND THAT IT WAS FIXED. NOTHING CHANGED AT ALL. THE SALESMAN BLAMED IT ON THE TIRES AND STATED THAT THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED WHEN THE TIRES ARE CHANGED. THE CAR HAS GOOD TIRES AND DOESN'T NEED NEW ONES NOW. I DOUBLE CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE AND BRAKES AS THEY SUGGESTED. EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE IN ORDER. THE VEHICLE HAS A CLEAN CARFAX RECORD. IN MY SEARCH I FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINS ABOUT THE SAME MODEL CAR WHICH EXPLAINED MY PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THAT INFINITI DENIES THE FACT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR
