2001 Infiniti G20

I HAD THE BRAKES APPLIED ON MY CAR, AND PUT IT IN REVERSE IN ORDER TO CORRECTLY POSITION THE CAR IN A PARKING SPACE. WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKES, BECAUSE I WAS ONLY MOVING THE CAR A FEW FEET, THE TACHOMETER TOOK OFF LIKE CRAZY, THE ENGINE REVED UP AND THE CAR STARTING INCHING BACKWARDS EVEN THOUGH I STILL HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES. I ALMOST WAS GOING TO HIT THE PARKED CAR IN BACK OF ME SO I SLAMMED THE (AUTOMATI) GEAR INTO PARK. ONLY THEN DID THE ENGINE STOP REVVING AND THE CAR STOP. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND CAME IN TO WORK AND TRIED TO CALM DOWN BECAUSE I WAS VERY FRIGHTENED. THIS ALSO HAPPENED TWO WEEKS AGO, WHILE I WAS IN DRIVE, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE ENGINE STARTED REVVING AND MOVING FORWARD. AT THE TIME, I THOUGHT THIS WAS BECAUSE I MAY HAVE BEEN ON BLACK ICE.*CN

SULPHER SMELL INSIDE CAR: THE DEALER TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT COULD NOT. EVENTUALLY THE SMELL WENT AWAY BY ITSELF, OR WHAT EVER SMELLED LIKE SULPHUR WHILE IT WAS BURNING FINALLY BURNT UP.*AK HERE IS A LIST OF OTHER REPAIRS THE DEALER HAS MADE: NEW ALTINATOR NEW WEATHER STRIPING ON DRIVER SIDE DOOR-NOW ITS COMING OFF AGAIN NEW REGULATOR FOR WINDOW ON DRIVER SIDE DOOR NEW MOTOR MOUNTS NEW LINKAGE UNDER FOR THE TRANSMISSION- COULDN'T REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION UNLESS THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS BEING PUSHED FORWARD AT THE SAME TIME. NEW POCKET FOR THE BACK OF THE PASSENGER SEAT ENGINE NOISE OR RATTLE- INSTALLED BOLTS SOMEWHERE AROUND THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE MANUFACTUR RAN OUT OF THOSE BOLTS DURING ASSEMBLY, AND THINKING THEY WERE NOT NESSISARY, SOLD MY CAR AS WELL AS OTHERS WITHOUT THOSE BOLTS. REPLACED THE BOLTS FOR THE HEAT SHIELD OR THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. AFTER MORE THAN SIX TRIPS BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY PUT A NEW AC COMPRESSOR ON THAT QUIETED THE NOISE FOR A FEW DAYS, BUT THE NOISE IS BACK. I HAVE SINCE QUIT DRIVING THIS CAR UNTIL I FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. THE INCIDENT DATE IS NOT ACCURATE BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY OF THE REPAIR ORDERS INFRONT OF ME.

CONSUMER STATES THERE IS AN ODOR THAT CAN BE STRONGLY DETECTED FROM BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, THE SMELL IS APPARENT WHENEVER THE AIR CONDITIONER OR HEATING UNIT IS ON, DEALER MADE SOME REPAIRS WHICH SEEMED TO WORK FOR SOME TIME, HOWEVER CONSUMER STATES ODOR HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND SHE IS EXPERIENCING HEADACHES AND FATIGUE WHILE DRIVING. *SLC

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES THERE IS A SCREECHING SOUND. DEALER FOUND FRONT ROTORS GLAZED OVER, CLEANED AND LUBRICATED ROTORS. THEN ON 7 JUNE 2001, VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALER DUE TO SCREECHING NOISE. DEALER FOUND FRONT PADS CRACKED, AND FRONT ROTORS TO BE GROOVED AND HOT SPOTTED, TURNED ROTORS. CHECKED REAR BRAKES, FOUND NO PROBLEM. SOMETIMES THERE IS SCREECHING NOISE EVEN AFTER CONSUMER TAKES FOOT OFF BRAKE, BRAKING DISTANCE NORMAL. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. *AK
