2019 Infiniti Q70

While attempting to accelerate my car hesitates and slows down to about 5 miles an hour. This mostly happens in the morning, but does happen in the afternoon while attempting to accelerate to pass. This issue has almost caused me to get in accidents on several occasions. I first noticed this issue when I first purchased the vehicle. I took it in and it was kept at the dealership for a week or so. When it was returned the dealer told me they couldn’t find a problem. I later took the car to another dealer and was the fuel injectors need to be cleaned but this did not fix the problem.

While parking my car, with my foot on the brake, the accelerator engaged and went to the floor. This caused me to jump a medium and pull on to the road before I was able to stop the car. I was ale to stop with the engine still racing. I put the car into park and the accelerator disengaged. The dealer determined the accelerator was defective.

MY 2019 Q70L HAS HEATED STEERING WHEEL. WHEN IT SAYS "HEATED" I DID KNOW IT WAS GOING TO BE THIS HOT. AT THE SAME TIME ON MY SPOUSE 2020 QX60 IT WORKS PERFECT. THE CONNECTING POINT ON THE STEERING IS THE MOST HEAT. AS YOU MOVE THE PALM ITS NOT THAT MUCH. I DID MENTION IT TO THE SERVICE CENTER. THEY DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER. THEY SAY ITS NORMAL. BUT FROM MY EXPERIENCE FROM MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES ITS NOT. AND THEN ITS CUT OFF EVEN IF THE SWITCH IS TURNED ON. I CAN UNDERSTAND IT CUTTING OFF AFTER IT GETS TO A CERTAIN TEMPERATURE. BUT THEN IT GETS COLD AND NEVER COMES BACK ON. YOU HAVE TO TURN OFF THE SWITCH AND TURN BACK ON. NOT GOOD FOR A LONG DRIVE IN A COLD WEATHER. NOT SURE IF ONLY HAPPENS IN 2019 Q70L MODELS.

The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Risk: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.
