Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My vehicle has had to have my rotors replaced 5 times or more in a single year. The dealer said that these rotors get hot and create hot spots which in turn requires new rotors and brakes every 2-3 months. This is an expensive cost for such a luxury vehicle. There is a risk that these rotors will continue to burn through the pads leaving drivers without proper braking systems.”
NHTSA complaint #11404507, filed 2021-03, 35,000 miles“I was pulling off from the grocery store and my car stalled like it didnt wantto go. So I stopped and put it back in park and then started to proceed again....thats when I got all the flashing errors for my awd and the chassis system. The rear right ABS sensor is the problem per the dealer. My awd error light and chassis system error light are on along with the ABS light. I've read up on alot of peoples comments about the same problem. This issue needs to be dealt with with the manufacturer as this seems to happen more often after the warranty runs out. …”
NHTSA complaint #11174721, filed 2019-02, 54,500 miles“Rear brake pad life is dangerously short. I began to experience squealing and vibration upon braking after only 25,000 miles. There is no suggested replacement interval so I could easily see someone ignoring the symptoms or putting off the pad replacement (most people expect pads to last at least 30,000 miles). There are also no wear sensors for the rear brakes. Someone could easily wear through the pads and have a dangerous rear brake failure since there is no disclosure provided by Infiniti of how short the rear pad life really is.”
NHTSA complaint #10926177, filed 2016-11, 26,000 miles“My Infiniti Q50 2014 has intermittent brake booster pump failure that causes diminished braking power at all speeds and at a slips at a stop. The diminished braking affects stopping distances and triggers emergency collision warnings and impact mitigation like seat belt tightening while driving. The condition has happened for the last 24 months. Infiniti refused to address until they witnessed the condition. In late 2016 I was able to show them when it was happening. Their tech diagnosed the brake booster as the issue and repaired. In may 2017 the conditions are now repeating. …”
NHTSA complaint #10992962, filed 2017-06, 50,000 miles“While slowly backing out of a parking spot in a parking garage, the vehicle automatically braked so abruptly that I thought I had struck something in the roadway. I got out to check and the roadway was clear. I returned to the vehicle to continue and it did the same thing again. I was then able to continue. I had previously been to the dealership with issues with the sonar system for the backup collision warning and avoidance system registering false positives and beeping endlessly. Components were replaced. The problem clearly was not fixed. …”
