Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Whenever ABS brakes were applied, would make a clunking sound. Problem intermittent. Have taken vehicle to dealer, and informed by mechanic that problem could not be located. Owner felt it sounded like u joint went out.”
NHTSA complaint #882653, filed 2001-03“Dealer has attempted repairs of emission system. Problems still keep occurring. Additionally, after dealer rotated and balanced wheels/tires, vehicle now has distinct shimmy, brake problems, and rapping in steering shaft. An independent check revealed and repaired wheel balance as incorrect weights were added. However, independent dealer theorizes that brake rotors may have been warped by central Infiniti. Additionally, there appears to be excessive wear in both the suspension and steering system.”
NHTSA complaint #708607, filed 1999-07“While driving at any speed, applied the brakes and they went straight to the floorboard. Also, accelerator got stuck, causing the consumer to run into a garage.”
