Description of the problem | I recently received a recall notice regarding my 2006 infiniti m45. It states the vehicle goes into "limp home mode" due to a defective accelerator pedal sensor/ecu setting. I took the vehicle to park place infiniti in las vegas, nv for recall repairs. They said my vehicle does not fall into the range of vin #'s associated with the problem and to come back later if i receive further notice. I did not report my vehicle experiencing this problem in the past because i thought maybe it went into limp home mode due to the fuel level being low. It only seems to do it when the fuel is low enough for the fuel light to come on. I have since received an "interim notice" from infiniti regarding nhtsa recall 13v-430 and it identifies my vin #. I also have concerns with this vehicle's defective 4. 5 liter engine. The piston rings are faulty causing excessive oil consumption, smoking, and banging and rattling. In addition, the co-existence of a driver's seat that moves forward upon braking and a steering system that loses control upon braking make driving the vehicle much less safe than a $45,000. 00 car, or any car for that matter, should be. |
