I purchased this car on 3/18/2017 and the brake pedal is too close to the accelerator.this is a safety issue since there is not enough room for a person to depress brake with out hitting the accelerator pedal.I have almost gotten in an accident driving the car due to this issue on a city street while turning.I called delearship and they agree its too close but will not do anything about it.they said they would check with a tech and would call me back if a new pedal could be put in and that I would have to pay for…

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 infiniti qx30. While the vehicle was at a stop sign, it rolled backwards and an unknown red indicator illuminated. The contact had to make sure the brake pedal was depressed to prevent the risk of a crash. The failure occurred several times. J.b.a. A service technician test drove the vehicle and was able to duplicate the failure; however, the service manager indicated that this was a design flaw and not a failure.
