Example complaints

“My daughter drove home from college and attempted to open the driver door. It was locked and would not open from the inside or the outside. If face none of the doors would open from inside or outside. She rolled town the window and climbed out. We took the auto to the dealer and they said that they had seen this before.. I thought it was a factory defect but alas $ 2,600 dollars later we learned that we must pay for the defect. I contacted Infiniti several times and they refused to acknowledge that this was a problem. …”

“Dashboard: over a 3 and a half year period of owning my vehicle, my dash has recently (and quickly) began to bubble. The dealership has told me that this is happening to all Infiniti fx vehicles with black interior. I never used cleaners with checmicals that could have caused the damage. It just happened. I also am out of warranty based on mileage not years. Driver side door actuator: my actuator has failed I do not know if that is common.”

NHTSA complaint #10202041, filed 2007-09, 71,500 miles

“I do see multiple other owners with the same issues. Please find my issues here.......issue 1: the gas gauge improperly represents the fuel level in the tank and the following issues are constantly present: 1) a full tank is never shown via the gauge 2) the gas gauge sporadically jumps around regardless of the amount of gas in the tank 3) the empty light comes on when there is as much as 1/2 tank of gas. This is very dangerous for me as this is my family car and I have a 2 year old son in my vehicle a lot and what if my car would stall out on the highway?? …”

“My car would not start and we realized the + battery cable was not making good contact with the battery. We have never messed with the battery. Since then the horn will not work. I took it in and it was the ipdm (independent p? Disbursement module) and it costs $775 for the part. When a car is coming into my lane, or backing from parking space towards me, I have no way to warn them and protect myself and my family. I researched online to try and find a replacement part cheaper and came upon many blogs of owners of 2004 FX35 who have the same problem.”

NHTSA complaint #10371974, filed 2010-12, 99,900 miles

“The door locks on my car quit working all of a sudden. This poses a serious problem when traveling with children as they could open their door. It is also a safety issue when all the doors cannot be locked when in a parking lot. This is an unacceptable problem caused by poor quality parts and/or workmanship and should be immediately recalled before someone is killed.”
