On thursday, august 15, I was in camarillo for a haircut appointment. It was 11:25 and my appointment was at 11:40. I was already in the parking space, moving at a slow speed and was approximately 6 ft. From the raised concrete curb at the end of the parking space. Suddenly the car began to accelerate and I observed smoke from the tires. I later saw this was caused by the tires digging into the asphalt. During the sudden, unintended acceleration I kept wondering how I was going to stop the car.
While driving the car would not accelerate and the transmission was hesitating severely when pushing on the accelerator. Problem continued until the car had no power and the engine shutdown without any dashboard gauge warnings in the middle of traffic, during rush hour. I placed it in neutral prior to complete shutdown. Cut off ignition and restarted ignition and car started as normal. Tried to drive but after five minutes began to shut down again.
When I accelerate the vehicle doesn't speed up and sometimes it hesitates. This is dangerous especially when entering the freeway it takes a while after I accelerate for the car to get up to speed. Seems like a transmission issue. Infiniti needs a recall. I know several people with this car and have the same issue.
