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.”
NHTSA complaint #10638614, filed 2014-09, 90,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10714931, filed 2015-05, 36,844 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10725464, filed 2015-06, 50,000 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10683220, filed 2015-02, 133,000 miles“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. …”
