DRIVING ON MY CITY ROAD AT 45 MPH MY INFINITI M35 INSTANTLY WENT FROM NORMAL RPMS TO 0, BRAKES LOCKING AND STEERING AS WELL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF INTO A COMPANY PARKING LOT TO TURN MY INFINITI OFF AFTER GETTING IT IMMEDIATELY IN PARK. I TRIED TO RESTART MY CAR AND ALMOST FIVE DAYS OF TRYING AND HAVING IT TOWED HOME, I AM STILL UNABLE TO GET MY CAR TO RESTART. ALL OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FROM SLIP, BRAKE, SERVICE ENGINNE, THE BATTERY, ETC CONTINUE TO STAY ON. THE CAR WILL TRY TO CRANK BUT WON'T TURN OVER. I HAVE TRIED REPLACING THE KEY FOB BATTERIES, PUT NEW OIL, ALL NEW GAS, 2 NEW BATTERIES, MULTIPLE JUMPS, CHECKED ALL FUSES, AND STILL NOTHING.

ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR TWO DAYS IN A ROW I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION. I HAD NO THROTTLE CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE CREPT FORWARD AT IDLE SPEED UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO PULL OUT OF THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC SAFELY. THERE WAS A RECALL A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE AND I HAD MY VEHICLE REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL. APPARENTLY THIS ISSUE PERSISTS. AN ENGINE CODE WAS SET AS EVIDENCED BY THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" DISPLAY. I HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO INVESTIGATE THIS CODE.

ON MARCH 9TH, 2015 MY 2006 INFINITI M35 STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND WOULDN'T START AGAIN. I CHECKED THE FUSES AND BATTERY AND COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES SO I HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL INFINITI DEALER. INITIALLY THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE ECM (BRAIN) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND, AFTER A FAIR AMOUNT OF PRESSURE FROM ME TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT, THE NISSAN FACTORY AGREED TO COVER THE ECM REPLACEMENT (~$2200). ON APRIL 9TH, 2015 THEY INFORMED ME MY CAR WAS "FIXED AND READY" HOWEVER WHEN DRIVING HOME IT STALLED ON THE FREEWAY (WHILE GOING ~70MPH WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME) AND AGAIN, IT WOULDN'T START. I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND PAID FOR AN ADVANCED DIAGNOSTIC ($420) AT WHICH TIME THEY DISCOVERED "MELTED AND SHORTING" WIRES BETWEEN THE POWER DISTRIBUTION UNIT (PDU) AND THE FUSE BOX... ON APRIL 22ND, 2015 THEY REPLACED THESE WIRES (THEY NEVER ACTUALLY DIAGNOSED THE CAUSE OF THE MELTED SHORTING WIRES) AND THEY AGAIN TOLD ME MY CAR WAS "FIXED AND READY"... YET AGAIN, WHILE DRIVING HOME THE CAR STALLED ON THE FREEWAY AND WOULDN'T START. I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THEY CALLED IN AN ADVANCED FACTORY TECHNICIAN WHO DETERMINED THAT THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS AND ANOTHER WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THEY'RE QUOTING ME AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT FOR THE REPAIR ($8400). THE CAR CURRENTLY SHOWS A ~$10.5K VALUE ON KELLEY BLUE BOOK...
