IllustrationIn the beginning when I pull off the car shudders and jerks speed was delayed. Now in the middle of driving with some speed the car beginnings to strain and barely move although the gauge shows I’m going 40 miles the car is straining and going under 5 miles. This started maybe a year ago but now it is much worser.

The contact owns a 2015 Infiniti QX60. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost power steering functionality with the power steering warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on several occasions however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000.

The vehicle on at least 4 occasions has stopped accelerating when driving the vehicle (first time I believe was fall 2021, this last time was Spring 2022). Most of the times that the issue was noticed, the car was was moving at slower speeds (35 or less). The engine remained running but pressing on the gas pedal didn't make the vehicle increase it's speed. The first time it did this we took it to the dealership to inspect. They could not replicate the issue and they said that no error codes showed up. We left with no repairs or answers. It happened 2 more times after that. Each of those times we were able to stop the vehicle and get it to go again or it would start to respond to pushing on the gas pedal and would accelerate. The 4th time this happened I was in the middle of an intersection turning and it wouldn't accelerate. I was able to slowly roll into a gas station. I tried stopping and turning the vehicle off and on again to see if the problem would go away, however each time the car only slowly inched forward. I parked and then the vehicle started acting weird. The AC shut off and the steering wheel locked. There were three error lights that came on. The first said "FCW Malfunction See Owner's Manual" and second was "IBA OFF" and then the "! inside a triangle" appeared. These appeared only after stopping the vehicle for the last time right before it wouldn't start again. The vehicle was towed to the dealership. The error reading they got was c1601 and they believe the alternator needs to be replaced. This doesn't seem to line up with the issues we have been having nor the error warning lights that appeared. The last time this happened my child was in the car with me. Had we pulled out to turn and the car wouldn't go we could have very easily been hit by oncoming traffic. It is very troubling that the dealership doesn't seem to really know what is wrong with the car.

DRIVER ASSISTANCE PKG AND AROUND VIEW MONITOR WITH MOD DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE AFTER COLLISION REPAIR. THE SUV WAS REPAIRED WITH GENUINE INFINITI PARTS. AFTER THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED, THE DRIVER ASSISTANCE PACKAGE OPTIONS AND THE MOVING OBJECT DETECTION AT THE FRONT NO LONGER WORKS. IT HAS BEEN AT THE COLLISION CENTER AND INFINITI DEALERSHIP FOR OVER 2 MONTHS AND THEY CAN NOT FIGURE OUT THE CAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTION. ALL THE INFINITI DEALERSHIP HAS DONE WAS SAID THE COMPUTER DOES NOT SHOW AN ERROR. I HAVE ASKED INFINITI TO CALL IN AN EXPERT ENGINEER IF THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. IF IT IS A FAULTY SYSTEM, INFINITI NEEDS TO DISCLOSE THAT TO THE PUBLIC BECAUSE I AM SURE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD A FRONT COLLISION IN A QX60. MANY PEOPLE MAY NOT EVEN KNOW THAT THIS FEATURE DOES NOT WORK ON THEIR VEHICLE ANY LONGER. IF THERE IS A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM, THEN INFINITI SHOULD ALSO DISCLOSE THAT INSTEAD OF TRYING TO GET AWAY WITH NOT FIXING THE ISSUES. AS WE EXPECT THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY TO KEEP US SAFE, WE ALSO EXPECT OUR DIVER ASSISTANCE PACKAGE TO WORK PROPERLY AS WELL. *BF *BF *JB

316V244000 · Air Bags:sensor:occupant Classification
Apr 26, 2016
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF, Sentra, and Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60, QX60 Hybrid, and Q50 Hybrid, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue and Infiniti Q50, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Murano Hybrid, and Chevrolet City Express, 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
Remedy: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, and Sentra vehicles, and replace the OCS ECU in LEAF, NV200, NV200 Taxi, Pathfinder, Infiniti Q50, JX35, and QX60 and Chevrolet City Express vehicles, free of charge. Interim notices were sent to owners on May 31, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669, Infiniti customer service at 1-888-833-3216 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Altima and Pathfinder vehicles, 2013-2014 Nissan Sentra vehicles, 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles, 2014-2015 Infiniti QX60 vehicles and 2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid vehicles. The affected vehicles received an incorrect occupant classification system (OCS) control unit during a repair. These OCS control units may incorrectly classify the front passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the OCS does not detect an adult occupant in the passenger seat, the passenger air bag would be deactivated. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the passenger.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will update the OCS software, free of charge. The recall began on November 30, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
