Example complaints

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

“The car burned nearly 4.2. Qts of oil in under 4000 miles. Massive number of users indicate same problem of insane amounts of oil consumption on various forums on the internet. This is most likely also a serious smog violation in ca and also is causing engines to blow up. Numerous mechanics will verify that they have seen the same problem with engines blowing at under 100,00 miles do to excess oil consumption. I have proof of my last oil change and number of miles. Also the amount of oil that came out of my car was less than a quarter of quart after only 4,000 miles of driving. …”

“I was traveling at 35 MPH and I was hit by another car in the driver side door and I slipped straight about 100 feet and hit a light pole none of my airbags deployed and my foot was on the brake the whole time and it seemed the bakes did not perform as expected.”

NHTSA complaint #10178676, filed 2007-01, 36,000 miles

“I'm astoundingly concerned about the safety of this vehicle. This is the second 2004 G35 I've owned and the first one I purchased brand new, owned 9 years, drove 230,000 miles and had none of these issues/failures when it was sold to a happy new owner ... Although it was a g35x. This is how I know these are in fact failures/defects in this second one. This vehicle has not experienced any recent damage or known problems, yet the last few days every time it has been started, the airbag light is remaining lit for an extended period of time before it decides to go off on the dash. …”

“In june of 2009, the air bag warning light came on. It was served at the dealer (replaced driver side air bag module costing $735.50). In october 2010, I was notified of a recall concerning the air bags on my car. No warning lights were illuminated, but I took it to the dealer and they made repairs at no cost. I notified infinite consumer affairs about having repairs made to the driver's air bag prior to the recall and they reimbursed my initial cost ($735.50). The air bag warning light began flashing again april 6, 2011. …”

“The third brake light on the rear deck has failed for no apparent reason. The car will not pass inspection. They want several hundred dollars to replace the entire unit. I have researched online and found this is a voluminous problem for this model year. It was recalled and addressed by Infiniti for the 2003 model year g and it is still a problem for the 2004 year. This needs to be recalled and fixed accordingly at the manufacturer cost. All these owners are not having the same failing issues without cause. I own two 2004 Infiniti G35 sedans. I used to love both of them. …”
