Driving West on I8 from AZ into San Diego my vehicle would lose all ability to accelerate and start decelerating on the upward climbs of the Crestwood Summit highway pass through the Cuyamaca Mountains. Not only it would continue to lose complete driving power and we had to pull over many time to turn the car off and let it sit for 10 minutes. It was not over heated and no lights were on with any indication of failure. During decents and on plateaus it resumed its completely normal functioning. I immediately brought it in to Oceanside CA Infiniti where they told me they don’t know what it wrong so they can’t fix it and I have to basically drive back to AZ through the mountains again and break down (it’s 115 degrees and almost 1.5 hours in both directions to any town) to figure out what was wrong. It’s incredibly dangerous and clearly not safe

I bought my QX60 2017 in April of 2021. fine til wk 2 experienced electrical issues liftgate stops going up or down randomly, hesitation in the acceleration when pulling into traffic (quite scary when you almost get rammed). concerns told to dealership stated I needed to change key fob battery. I already had and it was fine. They insisted I cchangeit so I did.. Not the issue. So I made an appt to have concerns checked.. ie transmission hesitation and electrical . I brought it in got a loaner. Many days later it was ready and I could pick it up they could find no issues they fixed nothing but the groan in the gas tank that's it. They said they couldn't duplicate it. So I reiterated to them to make sure that they understood that it was done at random and it's still being done at random months later. So I brought the car home and I've just been dealing with it not knowing what else to do cuz if they don't take the car and actually drive it like it's their own they probably won't experience it just driving around the parking lot. And even though they had it a week and could have done that I guess they didn't. Well then back in the end of August beginning of September my car wouldn't start I had to put the key fob next to the button in order to start it which I didn't figure out till later lots of electrical things were happening at that point added to what I already had so I brought it to them and they said it was the battery it was under warranty so they changed and explain that that should take care of all of my issues and if not bring it back in. So I've made another appointment for today and I'm bringing it back in because the hesitation is still there there's more electrical issues there's always been a Bluetooth electrical issue there's now rear camera, volume sometimes work sometimes blows your ears out, vibration in engine compartment, unlock door open door it sounds unlocking again repeatedly repeatedly and liftgate still

CAR WAS RUNNING WELL AND DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES THEN WENT TO START AND CAR WOULD NOT START, HEADLIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING, WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND CAR WOULDN'T START. WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO START AND DRIVE HOME BUT POWER STEERING WENT OUT, COULD NOT ACCELERATE ON A HWY, LIGHTS CONTINUED TO FLICKER. WAS NOT SWITCHING GEARS. ONCE WE GOT HOME TURNED THE CAR OFF AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO START IT SINCE. WE HAD IT TOWED TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG AND IT'S BEEN THERE FOR OVER THREE WEEKS. NISSAN IS SAYING WE NEED A NEW $14,0000 ENGINE. THIS IS A THREE YEAR OLD CAR WITH NO PROBLEMS, NO INDICATION OF ANY ISSUES AND ONE DAY IT JUST STOPS DRIVING. HAVE RESEARCHED THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL AND HAVE HEARD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. INFINITI HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND SAYS IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT. DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED DUE TO THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE,
