I started the car up and started to drive to work about 3 miles into driving the check engine light came on followed by revs with no power or speed gain and the vehicle was giving me around 15mph to the point where i couldn't gain much more speed and had to pull off the road. there was a voluntary service campaign for the timing chain but it has since expired and now i am stuck with the repairs.
Driving this car is very fun and i have enjoyed the car very much but just last week i noticed a smell like burning rubber or oil, come to find out the next day i was dripping oil only not a steady drip but a drip only from driving, once i stop and the car cools the drip stops. i have research and found that there could be a problem with some bolts to the oil filter that attaches to the block but when i called infiniti they don't see it nor will they look at the car unless i pay. this isn't a seal or gasket this is a very bad leak, my research came from a 2012 long term road test on a 2011 infiniti m56 and states this will become a recall but never did? *tr
We have been trying to resolve this problem through infiniti service center since we bought the car 10 months ago with only 28k miles. the vehicle has severe hesitation when attempting to accelerate immediately after slowing or stopping. on several occasions when stepping on the gas to make a left or right turn into traffic from a complete stop, the vehicle hesitates for approximately 2 seconds, and then jerks suddenly and goes. i have had several near misses from oncoming traffic as a result of this with my child in the car!! also, while in automatic drive the vehicle repeatedly will not go into gear when removing foot from brake to accelerator, but instead rolls backward (similar to a manual transmission) forcing me to immediately hit the brake pedal to prevent collision into vehicles behind me. the dangers of this vehicle are a liability on my part in the event that it causes me to have an accident because the t when turning into oncoming traffic. the vehicle is under warranty but service center has not resolved the problem. they have reset the computer but the issues just return. infiniti will be facing serious lawsuits from death or injury if this transmission or computer issue is not repaired soon. completely ridiculous that my $40000 vehicle must remain parked for extended periods because i am too scared to drive it for fear of it causing a serious accident. i am hoping for a recall as this seems to be a major issue for the m series. *tr
