Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I ran over a dog which did bumper damage and some damage underneath the vehicle. While there was no damage above the bumper, the hood latch release, letting the hood fold back over the windshield. The hood was destroyed, both front fenders damaged, the roof dented, and the sunroof damaged. I was doing 70 MPH when the hood covered the windshield! The body shop and insurance adjuster said the hood latch should not have released.”
NHTSA complaint #10128212, filed 2005-07, 12,000 miles“The hood on my 2004 Infiniti g35x failed at the hinges. The hood is now elevated above the line of the windshield and will not close. The failure was not due to an accident. The hood was merely opened, and the hinges failed. I am concerned hat the hood will open or fly off at highway speed or be pushed into the interior cabin during an accident. The local dealership and Infiniti refuse to fix the hood under the applicable warranty even though this is an obvious safety issue. My research into this hood issue has uncovered other owners with identical failures.”
NHTSA complaint #10248065, filed 2008-11, 70,000 miles“Driver's side door lock actuator failure. It appears many problems have been reported with these door lock actuators on Infiniti owner websites and forums and the manufacturer (nissan) has failed to initiate a campaign on this product. The replacement cost for the actuator is $149-$220 with 2 hours labor at rate of $120 per hour.”
NHTSA complaint #10408941, filed 2011-06, 73,217 miles“The driver side door lock actuator stopped working completely. One month later the passenger side door lock actuator stopped working. One week ago the driver side window regulator also stopped working. These issues are known defects to nissan/Infiniti, yet they do not care to address these safety issues.”
NHTSA complaint #10443917, filed 2012-01, 70,000 miles“Dt: Infiniti g 35 2004. When in the car, and the doors are locked either manually or electronically the consumer could not unlock them unless they were manually or electronically unlocked. The consumer could not unlock the door by tugging on the door handle. The reason he was concerned about this was because he lived in florida, and cars go into canals frequently. He is concerned that in the event of the car going into a canal, the system will possibly short out, and he would not be able to get the door opened.”
