I have a 2003 q45 and the car has shut off while driving several times. there is has in the car. i get it maintenance regularly. its shut off while driving on the highway putting my family at risk. its not safe to drive. after doing online searches i determined that a lot of people are having this same issue with this make and model. please research this issue because i am terrified to drive this car. if there is an issue with electronic chip, infiniti should have to replace it. thank you *tr
My 2003 infiniti q45 repeatedly stalls [so far, 15+ times] and often will not restart [10+ times]. with my family and me in the car, the stalling of the car puts us repeatedly in jeopardy of a rear-end collision or vandalism or bodily injury in dangerous areas. the car is properly maintained on its service schedule. it took my mechanic a week at a cost of $90 to confirm that the problem is the engine control module [ecm], the 'brain' of the car which controls other vehicle sensors, and this was confirmed by the infiniti dealer at a cost of $150. the ecm was sent to texas for reconditioning and reprogramming, but is being returned because the ecm is irreparable. the cost to buy and reprogram a new ecm from infiniti, the only source, is $2000 for a vehicle with 100,000+ miles. but a new ecm will likely have the same problems as the ecm being replaced. i do not want to put my family in repeated jeopardy. there is no assurance that the new ecm will work properly. i am suspicious that the infiniti ecms contain numerous design flaws. i have had numerous problems, aside from stalling, with the existing ecm, including door locks automatically locking with the key in the ignition so that i am locked out, the locks not unlocking, etc both my mechanic and infinity were unable to diagnose these problems until it became clear that i had a malfunctioning ecm. there was a recent massive recall of nissan and infiniti ecms, but the infiniti q45 was excluded, even though the symptom of repeated stalling is identical to my car, except that, worse, i also often cannot restart the vehicle. *tr
