“When the vehicle slows from cruising speed to below 20 mph, the car shakes violently and the engine nearly stops.

“The vehicle constantly shudders and almost stalls when in reverse or in low gear. The vehicle seems to not switch properly between the hybrid battery to the engine or vice-versa.

Infiniti has not remedied this recall in any fashion in almost a year.”
