Vehicle Speed Control Problems of Infiniti QX4

The contact owns a 2000 Infiniti Qx4. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, all steering control was lost. The contact was able to maneuver the vehicle to the shoulder of the road where it was stopped. The vehicle was then towed home and inspected by an independent mechanic, who stated that there was corrosion on the front drivers side frame, which detached and fractured the steering shaft. The steering shaft was replaced and the front drivers side frame was repaired. The driver and passenger side running boards were also repaired due to corrosion. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact also stated that while driving at various speeds, the accelerator pedal would intermittently become stuck in a partially depressed position. In order to release the pedal, the contact would apply excessive pressure to the accelerator pedal as well as the brake pedal. The vehicle had not been inspected for the accelerator pedal failure. The approximate failure mileage was 198,000.

On 7 seperate occasions over the past year the car has accellerated suddenly while driver was attempting to brake. The throttling effect has occurred at various speeds between 5 and 50 mph, but always when attempting to brake. The problem has occurred since the first month of ownership. On one occasion I have applied both feet on the brake pedal at full force and the vehicle still accellerated and would not slow down until I knocked it into neutral. I have had 3 different people in the car when the incidents have occurred. The car has been checked by dealer twice and I insisted that the service manager drive the car for a week, but he was unable to duplicate problem and accused me of driver error. I believe very strongly that the problem with the vehicle will cause deaths sooner or later and needs to be addressed. I will not drive the car in any city area for fear I will run someone down in a crosswalk. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
