The car accelerated without warning. I did not have my foot on the gas and the car just sped up. This has happened 2 times. The first time I didnt have an accident but today I did. I ran into a pole. I could have killed myself or someone around me when the car sped up. No warning. I took the car to the dealer and they admitted that there had been a recall but stated it was fixed on my car but it has not been fixed. . . . Here is the recall information 2010 Infiniti M35 report date: September 26, 2013 campaign number: 13v430000 component: vehicle speed control:accelerator pedal summary: Nissan north America, inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 Infiniti M35 and m45 vehicles manufactured April 4, 2004, through October 5, 2010. Over time, the accelerator pedal sensor signal may deteriorate resulting in the output of an incorrect signal causing the engine to go into fail-safe (limp home) mode. Consequence summary: in this fail-safe mode, throttle valve deposits may cause the engine to stall when the vehicle is coming to a stop or at idle, increasing the risk of a crash. Corrective summary: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the accelerator pedal assembly and reprogram the engine control module, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during November 2013. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
When car is slowing down, it will jump wildly with the rpm's and shift into different gears. Car could hit another car or person if the brake is not held firmly. Cannot get the local dealer or corp. To acknowledge the problem or fix it. The car is still under warranty. The problem is getting worse but the dealer says to drive it until there is a hard failure. I am concerned the car will jump and hit something or someone. The dealer says there could be a computer problem but they are not sure and do not want to eat the cost of a computer if that is not the problem. I looked this situation up on google and found that this problem is known for this particular model car. It did not do this before until about six months ago.
