NHTSA Complaint #11338454 — 2007 INFINITI G35

11/28/2019: THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM/CENTER STACK RESET AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER ALL THE DASH LIGHTS LIT UP AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE. THE VEHICLE WAS BLOCKS AWAY FROM HOME AND WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK WITHOUT ISSUE. TOOK IT TO AN INFINITI DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS TRANSMISSION RELATED. REPAIRS WERE DECLINED AS THIS DID NOT SOUND ACCURATE AND I WANTED A SECOND OPINION. TRANSMISSION SHOP LOOKED IT OVER AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AN INDEPENDENT SHOP ALSO LOOKED IT OVER AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. 7/1/2020: THE CENTER STACK TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AND CAR ENGINE DIED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER. MOST WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON AND THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS ON FULL BLAST AND COULDN'T TURN IT OFF. TRIED TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT WOULDN'T TURN OFF. THE ENGINE KEPT RUNNING. DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS INOP AND ALL LIGHTS WERE ON BUT CAR SEEMED TO DRIVE OK AT THAT MOMENT. ONCE HOME THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN OFF. YOU'D PRESS THE BUTTON AND THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD TURN OFF BUT THE ENGINE WOULD KEEP RUNNING. EVENTUALLY GOT IT TURNED OFF. THEN COULDN'T START IT BACK UP. EVENTUALLY GOT IT STARTED AND ONLY HAD FIRST GEAR. BROUGHT IT BACK HOME, FOUGHT WITH TURNING IT OFF AND THEN BACK ON. FINALLY GOT IT RUNNING AND IT DROVE FINE. LET THE VEHICLE SIT SEVERAL DAYS AND DROVE IT TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP ON 7/8/2020. ON THE WAY TO THE SHOP IT DROVE FINE BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I FEEL THERE IS SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE GOING ON WITH THE VEHICLE. I CAN REPORT BACK ONCE THE SHOP HAS MORE TIME TO TRY AND DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM, BUT A CAR RANDOMLY TURNING OFF IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF CONCERN.
