2010 Infiniti EX35

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 INFINITI EX35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN HE SHIFTED INTO SPORTS MODE, THE VEHICLE STOPPED MOVING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE. HE HAD TO QUICKLY SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE IN ORDER TO AVOID A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED WHEN HE SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE. HE WAS FORCED TO SHIFT INTO PARK GEAR, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND TRY AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 12,700. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,000.

MY BRAND NEW EX35 INFINITY ADAPTIVE AND STANDARD CRUISE CONTROL ("ACC")CRASHED (QUIT WORKING) ON ME 4X IN THE FIRST 2 MONTHS I OWNED THE CAR. IN ADDITION DURING THAT PERIOD WHEN THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WORKED, IT DID NOT WORK FULLY OR PROPERLY. FINALLY, INFINITI DECLARED A RECALL FOR THE CRASHING ACC AND PURPORTEDLY "FIXED" IT ON 01/20/10. HOWEVER, AFTER THE "FIX" IT BECAME EVIDENT THAT A SAFETY WARNING FEATURE OF THE THAT CHIMES AND FLASHES WHEN ANOTHER CAR CUTS IN BETWEEN YOU AND THE CAR IN FRONT. THIS FEATURE EXISTED ON THE 2010 EX35 BEFORE THE "FIX", IS DESCRIBED IN THE EX35 MANUAL AND WORKED ON MY PREVIOUS CAR (A 2008 FX35) THAT HAD ACC. INFINITI'S RESPONSE IS THAT THIS FEATURE IS NO LONGER PART OF THE SYSTEM AND IF THE MANUAL STATES OTHERWISE, THEIR 2010 EX35 MANUAL IS WRONG.
