Vehicle lurches back and forth when accelerating with a good amount of effort from a stop on right hand turns causing the car to act like it is slamming on the brakes and then accelerating repeatedly for about 3-4 seconds. this has nearly caused me to be rear ended numerous times. i have had the vehicle in the shop 3 times for this and was told it was not normal and that traction control was detecting wheel spin when there was none, and activating when it shouldn't be. i had a case opened with infiniti consumer affairs and am now being told that it is "normal operation" for a hybrid because they tested on other hybrids and experienced it!?!? that is recall territory. this is a severe safety issue as acceleration is retarded and can easily cause a crash as it is very unpredictable. only happens when accelerating on a right turn from stop. goes away if traction control is off. 4th and last infiniti i will purchase. numerous cases online with same issue and infiniti buying back the vehicle. why would they buy vehicle back if it was "normal operation"?
Differential would not allow the car to accelerate while making a right turn. this created a problem, particularly when trying to enter a freeway on ramp. several times the car actually came to a complete stop. after many attempts to fix the problem, infiniti declared the car a lemon and has reimbursed us for the lease payments. however the dealer plans to buff the car and sell it as-is.
