Example complaints

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

“Power steering pump and passenger airbag malfunction. Many Infiniti owner have or have had the same issue. I think customers don't have to pay for any repairs if there is a big demand on these problems. These two problems happen when my family and I were driving on the highway. I don't understand why this problem hasn't been called as a recall.”

NHTSA complaint #11131502, filed 2018-09, 20 miles

“My passenger seat weight sensor is malfunctioning going on and off at various times into the drive and various weighted passengers. This seems to be a very common problem on my 2012 G37 sport and the seat (sensor cannot be changed out so have to buy the whole seat) ranges between $5000 and $8000. This seems to me to be a safety issue, what were to happen if any one of us having this issue were to get into an accident with a passenger? …”

“Passenger airbag light blinks. Took car to dealer and they said the seat bottom needs replacing as it is an occupancy sensor failure. Cost for part is $6500.00. Cost to install and reset is $500. That repair is half the value of what it is worth. I called infinity'not under warranty or recall. Have read online that multiple owners of these models are having same issue. I feel that this is a potential safety-related defect in the vehicle.”

“I brought in my 2012 for maintenance at an Infiniti service dealer. I received a new battery as I was told the battery needed replacement soon. Come to find out, the new battery was actually a faulty component and my car would not start. I brought it in for diagnostics and they said nothing was wrong. I told them that it must be the battery since I never had that issue before. The battery issue continued and I would have to jump my car off. …”

“Sitting in driveway I started the car and side airbag light came on for no reason. I have spoken to multiple people and they all seem to have this issue with this vehicle. This should be a recall fix as it puts people in danger.”
