Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The vehicle died when at a stop light and rolled back hitting the car behind us. I looked on your website and apparently it was caused by a faulty engine control module (ECM) in the intelligent power distribution module (ipdm). This appears to have been recalled on all 2004 to 2006 Infiniti QX56 vehicles, however, I received no such notice and Infiniti says their is not recall associated with my VIN number. I believe my VIN number was left out in error and this should be recalled. …”
NHTSA complaint #10761546, filed 2015-09, 130,000 miles“The vehicle's brake warning light keeps coming on. Rotors are fine. Brake fluid level is high.

Once I pull over and turn the vehicle off for a minute or so, I am able to continue. However, the warning light comes back on moments later. This is getting very dangerous as it may trigger me to rear end the vehicle in front of me. The problem has been happening for the past eight months. However, it has been getting worst. …”
NHTSA complaint #11240718, filed 2019-07, 15 miles“I have complained over the course of 4-6 months about the cruise control going out. It either goes out completely, or the cruise control without smart following goes out. When it does go out, bumping the increase speed button causes the engine to idle thuslosing speed. Expecially bad on the interstate. The dealer claims they cannot find the problem (denied this problem 3 times now). Seems funny when there is a TSB to cover the work. …”
