Example complaints
One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
2009: “Cracking dashboard in multiple areas: around entertainment center, around each air vent, where knee touches dash (near steering wheel). And now I'm feeling the driver's side arm rest begin to crumble. I believe there is an inferior product behind the fancy dash material and it is now crumbling. Vehicle is parked at home in garage or in shade.”
NHTSA complaint #11254580, filed 2019-09, 51,500 miles2010: “In the search of a new dashboard for my 2010 Infiniti FX35 due to a spider web cracking manufacturing issue, I came across another 2010 FX35 with the exact same crack in identical spots. I thought this is impossible to be a coincidence. The main issues are dashboard cracking. Due to the manufacturer defect, this lowers the value of the vehicle tremendously. Please see attached comparison pics below.”
NHTSA complaint #11398296, filed 2021-02, 125,000 miles2005: “The dashboard has become very shiny. The glare has on multiple occasions made it very difficult to see out the windshield. I have noticed the dash has also become very soft and almost gummy when the temperature warms up. I was driving facing the sun and I could not see the road for a number of seconds. This has happened multiple times.”
