Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving my 2008 Infiniti G35 through a heavy rainstorm at 11:30 am, going east on glade rd., boca raton, fl., in the middle lane at approximately 35 MPH, when a car in the left lane of this three lane rd., cut me off. I hit the brakes hard and my brakes completely locked up, putting me into a skid onto the right swale and my car, skidding violently, smashed into a tree. Although the car hit the tree almost head-on, only the left front side air bag went off. The steering wheel bag never went off. …”
NHTSA complaint #10359141, filed 2010-10, 21,000 miles“2008 Infiniti G35 sedan, bought new from dealer july 2008, had warped brake rotors about a year ago, took to dealer, they replaced a part that had a recall or had a warranty on, that they said had more air spaces in it to allow the metal to cool better, and ground down the rotors. I have warped rotors again at only 46,000 miles. I believe the metal in the stock rotors is faulty or bad engineering design. Please inspect. I should not have warped rotors for a second time at only 46,000 miles and I use my transmission a lot to slow down rather than the brakes after the first warping occurred. …”
NHTSA complaint #10402245, filed 2011-05, 31,000 miles“I purchased a 2008 Infiniti G35 sedan. It is the journey package with the optional 18-inch wheels. My rotors are not safe. I only have 28,000 miles on my car and my rotors have already warped. I have read on many forums that this is a common issue with Infiniti g35s and I believe the government should look into this. I am paying a premium for this car and should not have rotors warping on me before the warranty is up. Also, Infiniti does not cover the charges with warping rotors. This is putting great stress on me because I have to pay for something that could have been replaced for free.”
