Description of the problem | On a usual morning on my way to work in nh driving my q50 hybrid sport and aprox. 2 miles from getting off the 93 interstate my car suddendly pull me from the left lane to the right one! So hard, i could not control it and ended up hitting the concrete fence on the rest lane. The crash was so bad that car spins and stop right in the middle of the 2 only lanes of that route with the whole left driver side of the car exposed to the upcoming traffic. One guy driving a dodge ram hit me right in the center. I am very lucky that i had my seat bealt on and the side air bags deployed. Lucky me, i just suffered muscle pain on my left arm, neck and back. It was very scary and traumatic. I just had the car for 3 month and it was a total loss. It is so dissapointing that i decided to invest in something modern, reliable and with all the security pckg and this happened. When the car did this, didnt advise me of anything on that morning, no lights on or anything to be checked on, neither a beep when the car was changing lane etc.. It was like a suicidal turn! It could of been worst.. Either me hitting another innocent or a big truck could of killed me right there at the scene and nobody would of know of this. I swear i wasn't speeding or anything. I again repeat, the car pull/swerve me abruptly to the right side. Nobody believes me, i remember even the police officer asking me about the horse powers?!! Not very appropiate. Then my wife and i did an online search and found those recalls and then other people mentioning their experiences here. It is so frustrating that we could not prove of this and the infiniti doesnt want to adress this problem, it is like they're waiting for some one to die, to finally do something. Shame!!! |
