Example complaints

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

“1. Car was hard to stop when braking for a light 2. Car accelerated on is own when entering driveway had to slam on brakes 3. Checked around the pedals for any thing that may have caused this. Nothing was found so I took the car for a test drive. And when I slowed on my street prior to turning into my driveway the car took off on it's own again. I had to put the car in neutral to stop it. When I did the engine redlined by itself.”

“Driving on highway 50 my way to work the following dash lights came on vdc off, ABS, slip. After pulling over to examine what was wrong I discovered I had no brake lights & the 10 amp brake fuse had blown. I then got back in my car to drive to a parts store & the shift lock wouldn't disengage. So I manually engaged the shift lock & drove to the parts store & replaced the fuse but the dash lights were still on so I began to drive home & the brakes became tighter & wouldn't release & they eventually were completely locked with all 4 so hot they were smoking so I parked it. …”

“The anti-lock braking system module (ABS) has burned out and is happening so often, infinity is unable to supply the demand and there is a nationwide back order for the part. After waiting 2 weeks for the part beginning 10/31/13, my mechanic disconnected the ABS module, so that I can have transportation because he does not know when the part will be available. I no longer have use of ABS and this also keeps vehicle dynamic control from functioning. As of today's date 12/09/13, I am still waiting for the part and driving without the use of safety features during this wet winter months. …”

“Routine service of the 2006 Infiniti g35x sedan at 18,000 miles required new front brake pads and rotors at a cost of almost $600. When I questioned the replacement of the brakes, especially the rotors, at this early stage I was told by the dealer this was normal for this model at about 20,000 miles. My research showed that this was a historical problem with this model, the company even extended the warranty to cover front brakes on the 2003-2005 models. Complaint filed with the manufacturer but was told this was considered normal maintenance, there was nothing they could/would do.”

NHTSA complaint #10187775, filed 2007-04, 182,000 miles

“When emergency braking, my vehicle's ABS system dips hard and pulls heavily to the front right of the vehicle, causing a harsh right side pull to the steering wheel. Has occurred at speeds between 60-65 MPH and 30-35 MPH, dry and wet roads, highway and surface streets. Tires were nearly new and properly inflated during one occurrence. Have reported to the dealership multiple times but refuse to investigate further as they are unable to duplicate the issue. Dealership claims vehicle is too sophisticated to do any further inspection.”
