MY CAR HAS BEEN STALLING WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED. SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS COME UP (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SLIP LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT) AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY. UPON PLACING THE CAR IN PARK, I AM ABLE TO RE-START IT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I BELIEVE MY CAR IS PART OF RECALL NUMBER 03V455000 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. HOWEVER, MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, BUT I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL. THIS NEEDS TO BE RE-ADDRESSED. I HAVE CHILDREN, AND I AM WORRIED THAT THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, ESPECIALLY WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I HAVE SEEN VARIOUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE WITH INFINITI.

MY CAR HAS STARTED STALLING WHILE DRIVING, WHILE DRIVING! I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE ISSUE FIXED, ONCE I GET IT FIXED IT HAPPENS AGAIN, AND THEN THE DEALER SAYS IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING ELSE. I HAVE A SMALL CHILD AND ITS TERRIFYING KNOWING THAT IF I'M ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR WILL STALL OR ANYWHERE FOR THAT MATTER. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR WEEKS, STARTED AT VERY LOW SPEEDS AND AS OF YESTERDAY THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, NO STEERING WHILE GOING AT A HIGHER SPEED, I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN IN A WRECK, OR EVEN KILLED SOMEONE WALKING. IT'S UNSAFE! THERE ARE MANY FORUMS ONLINE REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH INFINITI VEHICLES AND THEY DON'T CARE. LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN.
