Example complaints

“At 31,000 brakes pulsated but did stop car but not as quickly as before pulsating. I did not experience any close calls since I drive slowly and brought car to dealer for repair at my expense.. The dealer machined front rotors and replaced pads due to rotors being warped.”

NHTSA complaint #10177423, filed 2006-12, 31,000 miles

“When cold outside, my 2001 Infiniti I30 recently started loosing power brake boost after the brake pedal is depressed two times. An internet search revealed that this is a common problem with various nissan/Infiniti models. The problem, which I verified this morning is a check valve in the vacuum line coming from the intake manifold to the brake booster. I started the car, depressed the brake pedal twice to relieve the vacuum reserve in the brake booster and the pedal stiffened up with no vacuum assist. …”

“Since oct 25 2006 I had to replace 2 sets of oxygen sensors and a lr wheel/ABS sensor at my expense and all before 49,000 miles. I think a sensor problem exists or someone is taking advantage of me.”

NHTSA complaint #10177445, filed 2007-01, 48,000 miles

“Front brake rotors warped after 18-20,000 miles. Rotors cut once. Next time rotors replaced . 3rd time rotors cut and new pads given. 4th time rotors and pads replaced. All done at no cost to me under warranty and last time as courtesy by Infiniti. Obviously a problem with the quality of the rotors. Should be recalled and warranted for 100,000 miles.”

NHTSA complaint #10078389, filed 2004-06, 20,000 miles

“The front disc brakes were warped at 30,000 mi. The consumer took the vehicle back to dealer and was told they would re-surface the brakes but the consumer would have to pay out of pocket. The consumer refused. The consumer took the vehicle back at 42,000 mi. The dealer machined the rotors and replaced the pads. Provide further details. The consumer stated that the problems started at 20k miles and the warranty lasted until 48k.”
