Example complaints

Air bags: “Hello. My vin number is not showing unresolved recalls, but I believe it is based on my experience. I was parking my car, which involved turning my steering wheel all the way to the right, and heard a crunching, clicking sound. I did some teoubleshooting, and believe it is the clock spring giving out. What concerns me is 1 of the 4 recalls in particular. Infiniti recalled the 2017 and 2018 QX30 compact crossover SUV due to a potential for the driver's airbag to deploy unexpectedly. …”

NHTSA complaint #11613830, filed 2024-09

Electrical system: “I have reached out to the dealership and Infiniti USA but to no avail. Safety issue: after coming to a full stop the door will not open when you pull the lever unless you manually unlock the door: you can't get out of the car unless you manually unlock it; this is a primary concern for emergencies when often people don't have their wits about them and may struggle with the door forgetting they have to manually unlock it. …”

Steering: “This vehicle is an absolute hazard. The brakes and power steering will fail while driving, and the vehicle will be slow to accelerate while this happens. I have personally had two near accidents when this occurs. I have researched and found that I am far from the only person with this issue and Infiniti doesn't seem to care. I have taken it in three times already with no solution offered. I have attached a few of the other complaints I found online.”

NHTSA complaint #11405167, filed 2021-03, 30,000 miles

Transmission and drivetrain: “This complaint is that of serious health and safety risk ignored with ignorance and belligerence by Infiniti. The QX30 is an automatic transmission car that is not just rolling backwards while in drive however it appeard to be driving backwards in drive. While the QX30 is stationary on an city or highway, with or without the automatic shut off engaged, the vehicle will not just roll slightly, however engage in backwards motion to a point of the car seemingly driving backwards while the car is in drive. The car essentially drives in reverse, without operator control. …”
