NHTSA Complaint #10703231 — 2014 INFINITI QX60

WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A DEAD STOP SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE PAUSES AND MOVES VERY SLOWLY ENOUGH TO GET YOU IN THE FRONT OF ON COMING VEHICLES, AND THEN WILL NOT EXCEED OVER 10 TO 12 MPH WHICH TAKES UP TO 30 TO 45 SEC. OR MORE. I NARROWLY ESCAPED A SEMI TRUCK HITTING ME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE PULLING OUT OF OUR LOCAL POST OFFICE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE NEEDED TO YANK THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD SO AS NOT TO GET REAR ENDED IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES, WHICH THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE ISSUE BY REPLACING SOMETHING CALLED A BREAK SWITCH, "TWICE" THIS HOWEVER DID NOT CORRECT PROBLEM. THE NATIONAL INFINITI GROUP SENT A RECORDING DEVICE WHICH THE DEALER INSTALLED, THIS MEANT THAT WHEN THIS EVENT OCCURRED I WAS SUPPOSED TO REACH DOWN TO THE CONSOLE WHERE THE DEVICE WAS LOCATED AND PUSH A BUTTON TO RECORD EVENT ALL THE WHILE TRYING TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I SUCCESSFULLY DID IT WITHOUT INCIDENT AND RECORDED THE REQUESTED 6 EVENTS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY OCCURRING NOW FOR 7 MONTHS. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY ELDERLY PARENTS WITH EVERY AVAILABLE SAFETY OPTION FOR THEIR SAFETY, AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LET THEM DRIVE THE CAR FOR OVER 6 MONTHS SINCE THEY TOOK IT ON A TRIP. FEARING THAT THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REACT FAST ENOUGH TO AVOID BEING IN AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE GETTING KILLED IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO DRIVE IT. INFINITI CALLED TODAY AND SAID THE RESULTS FROM DATA RECORDER SHOWED NO FIX NEEDED AT THIS TIME, SO THEY ARE CLEARLY IGNORING THE ISSUE AS I HAVE READ ONLINE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT ISSUE. SOMEONE OR SOME FAMILY IS GOING TO HAVE A TRAGIC ACCIDENT WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I WANT TO GO ON RECORD THAT INFINITI CORPORATE ARE FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND CHOSE TO DO NOTHING. *TR
