Example complaints

“Recently I was traveling on the freeway, not under an overpass and there was no one in front of me. I rolled my window up and shortly after that there was a loud crashing sound of shattering glass, I look in my rearview mirror to see that there were a ton of black specks coming from my car. I cracked the sunroof cover slightly only to find a shower of glass and a hole in my roof where the sunroof used to be. I closed the cover back up so I wouldn't get anymore glass in my cabin or on me, found somewhere to park and inspect my vehicle. …”

NHTSA complaint #11062519, filed 2018-01, 39,000 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

“1. There were no events leading to the failure. Vehicle properly maintained. 2. Passenger side hood hinge failed. This caused damage to the hood and the fender. Hood does not open or close properly. I am fearful of hood opening under speed. 3. Dealer and Infiniti have refused to repair vehicle under warranty although still within the warranty period of 4 years or 60,000 miles.”

NHTSA complaint #10196347, filed 2007-07, 52,000 miles

“1) no events LED to failure, vehicle was properly maintained. Hood was opened. 2) hood does not properly close, vehicles hood hinge pivot has bound, causing the corner of the hood near the windshield to rise. This does not comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) no. 219, windshield zone intrusion. Consequence of noncompliance: in the event of a vehicle crash, the hood could be pushed back through the windshield glass, possibly injuring the vehicle occupants. 3) an estimate has been gathered for replacement of both hood hinges. …”
