Example complaints

“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.”
