Example complaints

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

“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.”

“I purchased this car on 3/18/2017 and the brake pedal is too close to the accelerator.this is a safety issue since there is not enough room for a person to depress brake with out hitting the accelerator pedal.I have almost gotten in an accident driving the car due to this issue on a city street while turning.I called delearship and they agree its too close but will not do anything about it.they said they would check with a tech and would call me back if a new pedal could be put in and that I would have to pay for this.I have since not heard back from dealership.”

NHTSA complaint #10971987, filed 2017-04, 1,100 miles

“While driving vehicle warning message appeared on cluster saying “ABS INOPERABLE” with ABS and traction control lights on. Minutes later all power steering is gone and vehicle is very difficult to steer. This not only put me in danger but also my passengers and others on the road as well. This has happened multiple times. Brought the vehicle to the infinity dealer to be told I needed 2 new batteries. Bought new batteries and is still happening. The owner manual says to rock steering wheel side to side while driving 12mph to reset. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. …”
