Three problems related to car accelerates on its own have been reported for the 2005 Infiniti G35. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Infiniti G35 2005. After coming to a full stop for at least a minute, I pressed the accelerator and the car did not respond in any way; no engine noise, no rpm change, no movement at all. Then I pushed the accelerator one-half way down and the car made a small engine sound, the rpms went up to around 1500 and the car moved a little. I took my foot off the accelerator and pressed it again and it did not respond, again. I pressed one-half way down on the accelerator and it made a small engine noise, rpms went up a little, and the car moved a little. I took my foot off accelerator as soon as it moved a little because I was afraid that the car might suddenly respond normally to the one-half pressed accelerator and accelerate rapidly and cause me to crash. The "vvc off" light, the "service engine" light, and the "slip" lights all came on. The button that is supposed to turn off the "vvc off" light, did not turn off the light. I was driving in normal dry conditions. I parked my car and turned it off. Several hours later, I restarted my car and the "service engine" light came on, but the other lights were off. The accelerator responded normally. I will take my car to a Nissan dealer tomorrow. There are other internet posts describing this identical occurrence with other Infiniti G35s, and some owners have described a completely unresponsive accelerator while they were driving at 40mph, the other owners were told that nothing was wrong with their cars.
