What owners wrote
While driving, the vehicle will decline in acceleration and you can not increase acceleration. When turning the vehicle off, the car will proceed at a slow pace. Infiniti dealer told me that I needed to let the car warm up for 30 minutes. The engine makes noise as if the vehicle is in neutral. At times, once taking your foot off the brake pedal to switch the gas, the car will take off from under your foot. While driving, the car will come to a complete halt as if it was approaching a collision.
Car would not drive upon pressure of the gas pedal placing driver in immediate danger. Driver pulled over multiple times, shifted car into park and turned car off, proceeded to attempt to drive again. After fourth time, the transmission/engine responded. This car was returned to autonation infiniti of tustin two days after purchase, the dealership informed they would place the car back on the lot without inspection, this causes great concern for the safety of any future drivers of the car.
