I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE DASH INCLUDING THE CRASH SENSORS, AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR WITH NO SUCCESS. ONCE THE START BUTTON IS PUSHED, THE CAR MAKES A CLICKING NOISE BUT THE ENGINE DOES NOT TURN ON. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE NOISE TO STOP IS TO PUSH THE START BUTTON AGAIN. AT THIS TIME, THE CAR WILL NOT START. IT WAS TOWED TO INFINITI DEALERSHIP, AND HAS BEEN THERE AS OF TODAY (03/23/3021) FOR 15 DAYS. NEITHER THE DEALERSHIP, NOR INFINITI NORTH AMERICA HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GIVE ME AN UPDATE ON WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR, OR WHEN I WILL GET IT BACK. THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.
