AS I WAS PARKING THE VEHICLE AT 5MPH BEHIND A PARKED CAR, WITH THE FRONT TIRES SLIGHTLY TURNED TO THE LEFT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. RESULTING IN HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT AND PUSHING IT OUT OF THE WAY, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED MOVING DESPITE HAVING THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED TO THE LIMIT, THE ENGINE WAS REVVING VERY HIGH. THE VEHICLE CROSSED THE MEDIAN AND CAME TO A STOP ON THE OPPOSITE TRAVEL LANE OF THE STREET AFTER THE ENGINE WENT TO IDLE SPEED. THE DEALER SUGGESTED TO CONTACT INFINITI USA TO START AN INVESTIGATION(TBA), A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. COLLISION AVOIDANCE/AUTO BRAKE DID NOT ENGAGE. VIDEO WITH SOUND OF THE INCIDENT IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY INFINITI ON THE HIGHWAY MY SERPENTINE BELT SNAPPED 4 DIFFERENT TIMES WHILE IN MOTION. ALL WITHIN ONE YEAR. INCLUDING ME GETTING MY CAR BACK FROM THE DEALER AND THEM LETTING ME HAVE IT BACK THAT WAY. ALSO, THE TIRES ARE HORRENDOUS, FROM DAY ONE, THEY PULLED THE CAR LEFT OR RIGHT ON THE CAR. ALL THE SETTINGS WERE CORRECT ON THE CAR. I WANTED TO HAVE THE TIRES REPLACED, BY THE MANUFACTURER, AND THAT CAN BE DONE BECAUSE NO IT'S TO LONG AND EVERYONE TOOK TO LONG TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. NOT TO MENTION DUNLOP IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A HOLD OF.

RUN FLAT TIRES WENT FLAT ON A POTHOLE THAT WAS NOT EVEN REALIZED ON A SUNDAY WITH NO SERVICE STATION OPEN. EVEN IF THEY WERE, THE TIRE HAS TO BE REPLACED, CANNOT BE REPAIRED. THERE IS NO SPARE TIRE OPTION- WHEN CONTACTED, COMPANY REFUSED " NOT POSSIBLE". THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL AND MUST BE ADDRESSED. MUST HAVE SPARE TIRE ESP SINCE RUN FLAT TIRES CANNOT BE REPAIRED AND ARE NOT IN STOCK AT MOST SERVICE STATIONS

THIS WAS A RENTAL VEHICLE, NOT MY PERSONAL VEHICLE, BUT IS APPLICABLE TO MULTIPLE BRANDS AND MODELS. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS DUE TO THE HEADLIGHT MODES. THE DEFAULT MODE IS OFF, YET THE DRL'S REMAIN ON. THESE ARE BRIGHT ENOUGH THAT YOU CAN DRIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND NOT REALIZE THAT YOUR ACTUAL HEADLIGHTS ARE OFF, WHICH MEANS THAT THE TAIL LIGHTS ARE OFF. I HAVE BEEN SEEING SEVERAL VEHICLES EVERY DAY WITH PEOPLE DRIVING WITH NO LIGHTS ON, EVEN IN POOR VISIBILITY. THE DEFAULT SHOULD BE FOR THE HEADLIGHTS TO BE IN AUTO MODE OR DRL'S MUST BE OFF WHEN YOU SELECT OFF. I HAVE BEEN SURPRISED SEVERAL TIMES THIS FALL BY DRIVERS DRIVING EXCESSIVELY SLOW WITH THEIR LIGHTS OFF ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT. YOU CANNOT SEE THEM TILL YOU ARE VERY CLOSE. ALL OF THEM HAVE THESE NEW LED DRL'S ON AT THE TIME. THIS IS A UNIVERSAL ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IT SHOWS A VERY BASIC LACK OF THOUGHT TO DESIGN HEADLIGHTS IN THIS WAY AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION.
