2010 Infiniti AWD Acceleration Problems
The car accelerates without the driver (me) applying pressure to the accelerator pedal.
Scenario:
I get in the car
Start the engine
Change to Reverse gear
Reverse out
Change to Drive gear
And the car shows 1000+ rpm drives up to 20 mph
All this time I didn't apply any pressure to the accelerator and that's the problem. It's like it's set at cruise control.
Anyone has similar experience?

1900 miles. Will have it checked out by dealer.
Just dosn't seem right.
For my case: Dealer replaced battery(!) because battery failed routine check up.
However acceleration issue is persistent.
Want to ADD another symptom:
Once speed is over 5 mph, lift foot away from gas pedal and stop applying pressure to gas. The vehicle does not decelerate - I was able to circle my apartment parking twice and more! In fact car usually accelerates ...
Going back to dealer for a test drive.
The dealership took the car in and called me the next day that they are seeing similar issues with their other new 2010 EX in the lot and they are escalating this to Infiniti...
Not totaly convinced, never had a car drive like this.
beerbud1 any update on your car after taking into dealer.
First, when I make a stop, then attempt to accelerate, there is a hesitation (like the car is in neutral) for a couple of seconds, then a jerk right before it takes off.
My second issue is when I am coasting (taking my foot off the brake) or stopped with my foot on the brake my car will jerk.
Third, I have noticed that once I park in my garage when I turn off the car there is a cracking sound for almost 20 min after the engine is cut off.
My car has 31,000 miles on it, bought it 3 months ago with 28,000. I took it to the dealer when I first noticed the first two problems but of course when they drove it it behaved.
I am taking it back within the next week for an oil change and will have them take a look at it again.
