I own a 2002 Infiniti I35. While I was driving at approximately 35 miles per hour, making a left turn, I was hit on the rear driver's side (t-boned). Non of my air bags deployed and I was severely injured. I sustained injuries to my neck, both shoulders and my back. The driver of the other vehicle illegally ran a stop sign. My vehicle was taken to my residence and was not repaired. As a direct and proximate result of the accident I have been permanently disabled and constantly dealing with the pain. I'm sure I would be in much better shape if the airbag would have deployed. I called the police and reported the accident when it happened. I have not informed my manufacturer of the issues that I have experienced as of yet. My vehicle currently has about 166,000 miles. Another issue my 2002 Infiniti I35 was having, not related to the accident referenced above, was stalling without warning on several different occasions. This happens sometimes when I am driving. When this happens, the lights on my dash panel blink on and off rapidly for a few seconds and then turns off completely. My steering wheel locks up at that time as well.
Traveled approx 25 miles. Was first in line to approach a red stop light. As the accelerator was let up and brakes applied, the car did not stop. As the car crossed into the intersection of on-coming traffic, I took the automatic transmission from "drive" into "neutral". The car stopped and rpms increased indicating a stuck accelerator. I tapped the accelerator pedal twice and the car went to idle. I had the car towed to the Infiniti dealership who still has it and has not been able to duplicate the problem. Although nobody was hurt, if anyone would of been in the crosswalk, I would of killed them and it was a matter of a few feet from cross traffic so a very close call indeed.
