Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My car had a recall on the dash board. It gets very hot and burns thus cannot put anything or have even your hands touching the dash board. It is slowly melting . I have attempted to contact the manufacturer however they have refused to resolve the issue.”

“Infiniti dashboard bubbling excessively causing glare while driving. Apparently there was a recall for this issue but my dealer never told me. I am the original owner and I was taking my car to the dealer for maintenance and repairs up until 2011 and the deal never told me there was a recall. No apparently the recall is expired or something and is not covered. I don't understand how a recall can expire if its an safety issue and how a deal can get away without notifying their clients.”

“The exterior door handles of my FX35 all came off..when trying to open door. Initially occurred with one of the rear doors. Thought maybe I was too rough with it..so didnt make much of it. When second rear door broke off..I knew something wasnt right. I call Infiniti..they replied stating that there wasno recall. The driver side handle then broke off 2 years ago..then finally front passenger last month. I cant believe it. When you spend money on an luxury vehicle, all four of the door ahndles should not be coming off.”

“Infiniti dashboard bubbling excessively causing glare while driving. I just received my third denial to my third written request to Infiniti consumer affairs to replace my bubbling dashboard. I initially contacted the dealer in 2012 when I heard about a dashboard recall. I was informed my specific vehicle was not part of the recall. I was also told about a warranty extension that may have cared for the issue; however, both the initial and extended warranty had expired at that point. I was never informed of a recall or a warranty extension by Infiniti. …”

“3 doors on my 2004 FX35 will not open from inside or outside-this is a safety issue. First week in sept I tried to open back door to retrieve my books, etc and the door would not open. I leaned in from driver side and noticed door was unlocked so I tried to open from the inside-it would not open,. My auto has only 46,000 miles on it. I took to dealer and he said he had never seen this happen before. He kept the car for 3 days and said it took them all day to open the 2 back doors. He said all for on my acculatos(something like that) failed and they replaced them at charge or over $ 2000.00. …”
