Example complaints

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

“While driving, AC came on full blast and I could not control it. None of the buttons worked on the unit at all. I have read similar complaints and their fix is the controller board or aftermarket radio system. I have an aftermarket radio/GPS unit installed, but it still have zero control over AC unit. No problem with radio ever. All of this is intermittently. Sometimes I can control it, but it want last long. Don't know what will happen this winter, since I have only owned the car for 5 months. I'll keep researching.”

“My driver and passenger vehicle window's motor has continuously burned out or chooses not to work at times. I have re-placed the window motor several, yet it still does not roll up or down all the time. I have to hit the area where the motor is located on the door in order to get it to start moving, sometimes I will be there for hours trying to roll up my window when I leave the car. There has been a few incidents where I close my driver door with and with out a heavy force and the motor will roll my window down half way. …”

“2004 Infiniti G35 coupe: electrical issue in center of vehicle, the air vents, heat, defrost will not operate and at times come on automatically including cold air and causing film on the dash making it incredibly difficult to see. Was told by Infiniti dealer this exists in over 90% of models this year and type and will be $5,000 to fix. Defogger and defrost vents will not work by manually pressing buttons.”

NHTSA complaint #10370785, filed 2010-12, 78,000 miles

“My problem is with the dash, where the heating controls and the radio controls are. When I am driving, the heater and radio controls just cut out. It gets very dangerous when it is raining, because the windows will fog up, and in the winter it gets very cold. ....updated 04/02/15”

NHTSA complaint #10703659, filed 2015-03

“The window motors and door lock actuators keep failing and have to be replaced, the laser red paint keeps chipping, the brakes make a strange noise every so often, and the air from the air conditioning vents is usually warm as other consumers are reporting. Infiniti refuses to resolve any problems with the actuators or window motors, although their mechanics have stated to me several times that there is a high number of customer complaints about the same issues with their vehicles.”
