Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Vehicle's steering wheel jerks out of no where. It also sways back and fourth while braking at times. The vehicle vibrates/shakes at speeds over 70mph. The Infiniti dealership (plano, tx) stated the problems were due to a warped rotor, which is another issue with Infiniti vehicles, so I resurfaced the rotors and within 6mths (under or around 5,000 miles) had to replace them. After I replaced the rotors crest Infiniti stated the problem was then the tires so I replaced the tires and the problem continued. …”
NHTSA complaint #10286195, filed 2009-10, 22,000 miles“This car cannot keep a straight line on any road. I have had all four tires replaced, all four wheels replaced, five tire alignments/balances done to no avail. This has caused severe danger when driving on both one and two lane roads, as the car will suddenly move into other lanes. Has caused another car to go off the road to avoid my car hitting theirs causing damage and injury to that person. I, as well as other complainants on here, have been told that Infiniti is aware that there is a defect in the steering rack but is not authorizing dealers to repair or replace under warranty. …”
