Example complaints

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

“As I was entering I-295 in attleboro, ma as I accelerated to enter the highway the car started bucking and would not go faster than 40mph. I had to manually shift the car to find a gear that would not have the car buck. In 4th gear and a speed below 45mph it was ok to drive. But I had to continue on the interstate at only 40 MPH. It turned out to be that both mass air flow sensors failed. This failure LED to a very dangerous situation had someone been behind me that could have LED to an accident, or had I been on the highway and the car started bucking possibly a multiple car accident. …”

“I purchased an 07 Infiniti m35x and had several issues with it. The major issue was due to a dragging, rasp rattling, rocks in a can sound coming from underneath the car; which I fought with the dealership on for over a year. Since then; I worked a deal with the new and current GM on a 09 M35 sport and the same rattling has aroused again; rocks in a can sound coming from the car after putting just a couple hundred miles on it. I brought it back to the dealer on july 8th; in which they kept it for 3 days. Changed out the installation and heat shields; the problems is still there. …”
