2015 INFINITI QX60 Hybrid

NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.

WHEN AT A FULL STOP THE VEHICLE HAS A HARD TIME MOVING/ACCELERATING. I TAKE MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. WHEN I PRESS THE GAS, THE VEHICLE WILL JERK VERY BADLY AND JUMP LIKE IT IS A STICK SHIFT, BUT IT IS NOT. WHEN IT FINALLY GETS MOVING IT CONTINUES TO JERK, SPUTTER AND JUMP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS FOR THIS ISSUE AND I AM REPEATEDLY TOLD THAT WITHOUT A CODE OR THE VEHICLE DUPLICATING WHAT IT DOES THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE.

THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN COMMANDED USING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THERE IS A REVVING THEN A SUDDEN JERK FORWARD. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, IN STOP AND GO CONDITIONS AND WHEN CHANGING LANES OR ATTEMPTING TO PASS. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS A TENDENCY TO JERK OR SURGE FORWARD IN TIGHT PARKING SITUATIONS. THERE HAVE RECENTLY BEEN INSTANCES WHERE MY WIFE WAS ALMOST JERKED FORWARD INTO A BRICK RETAINING WALL. I HAVE BEEN ALMOST JERKED INTO THE REAR OF VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME WHILE IN STOP AND GO DRIVING SITUATIONS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON 8 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH THEY SAY "THEY CAN NOT RE-CREATE" THE EVENT OR GET A CODE ON THEIR DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT FOR. THEREFORE, THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ALSO, THEY ALLEGE THAT THEY HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE TO TRY TO RECREATE THE EVENT BUT THE LEGAL DOCUMENTATION THEY NOTE THE MILEAGE ON DOES NOT EVER VERIFY THAT. IN SHORT THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY OR IN TOWN AND COUNTRY DRIVING SITUATIONS. IT CREATES UNDUE STRESS ON THE DRIVER AND IN MANY CASES OUR PASSENGERS HAVE BEEN FRIGHTENED WHEN RIDING WITH US. PLEASE HELP *TR

TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND THEN SURGES. VERY FREQUENTLY, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED THERE IS NO ACCELERATION WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT DELAY. THE VEHICLE SURGES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SITUATIONS AND ON MORE THAN OCCASION, HAS CAUSED NEAR ACCIDENTS. THE VEHICLE DOES THIS IN STOP AND GO DRIVING SITUATIONS AS WELL AS IN FREEWAY DRIVING SITUATIONS. THERE IS NO WAY TO DETERMINE OR TELL WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. IT CREATES AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE DRIVING SITUATION WHICH IF LEFT UNCHECKED COULD CREATE A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. THIS HAPPENS ON AN ALMOST DAILY BASIS.
