| Service Brakes problems |
On the sunny and dry morning of December 9, 2020, I proceeded to alpine cemetery, perth amboy, NJ to honor my mother's grave site and her anniversary. As I passed the gate entrance to the cemetery, I turned right; as I have always done in previous years. Once I turned to the right I noticed that there was a burial procession, with the funeral hearse obstructing the entire vehicle path. Since I could not drive forward, the only recourse I had was to turn around and find another vehicle path. Once I had taken the new path, which I believe would lead me to my mother's grave site, I realized that I could not reach her grave site since it was further up the new path. Once I turned the vehicle to the left; the vehicle went automatically backwards then forwards with the sensation of taking off the ground like an airplane. I had no control of the vehicle and the vehicle proceeded automatically hitting numerous tomb stones until one tomb stone stopped the vehicle. This failure occurred numerous times until a 3ft tomb stone stopped the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the car repair shop, instructed by njm insurance; vnf auto body 732-321-6919, 20 prospect street, metuchen NJ 08840.
The passenger side rear parking brake cable has seized. It will not allow the actuator to move. It has destroyed the brake shoe lining on that side.
The parking brake cable, as set from the factory, is way too loose to hold the car on even a slight incline. The parking brake handle takes excessive force to pull far enough to hold the vehicle from rolling. The dealer refuses to adjust the cable tension under warranty stating it is not covered. This is my second 2013 G37 with this issue.
I was in a parking lot. I backed out when I started to shift into drive the car accelerated and started to spin in circles. The steering wheel locked. I was not in control of the car and nothing would worked in the car. I couldn't shift gears so I shoved it into park. The car finally stopped but not before it hit an island causing $7822 in damages to the rear of the car. The air bags did not deploy. I was quite shaken up but had no serious injury. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was contacted at the local and regional levels. They had someone look at the vehicle but after 7 weeks they still have not contacted me with their findings. I am not driving the vehicle and I have not had it repaired. I fear that if I have it repaired and I sell the vehicle, it is an unsafe car and someone else will get hurt. I have found several reports of similar occurrences on the internet.
