1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/12/2019

Ignition locked - unable to turn key. Infiniti is a real bitch at $153/hour. Is this a nats / nash unit problem with the signal, the antenna or the wire harness.

2 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 10/12/2017

My car stalls while driving anywhere . . Hwy,interstate, driveway. . . And sometimes dies when slowing down. The slip light comes on when this happens. It usually loses powerful a few seconds and then jolts back to power scaring me to death. It has died completely too when I pull into a very slow down mode. This has happened many many times.

3 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/09/2017

It doesn't have no effects.

4 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/06/2015

Both outside and inside door handles on driver's door failed thus making door mechanism impossible to activate and driver's door impossible to open from inside or outside under any conditions. Door cannot be pushed open from inside because latch mechanism is in closed position securing door closed and handles do not work. Contacted dealer and dealer said it is probably a failed handle cable and that it is not uncommon on this model and is not covered under any recall, reimbursement, or safety program. This is a serious safety issue because the complete failure of the door latch mechanism traps the driver in the car; it is almost impossible for an adult-sized driver to get out because they cannot effectively crawl over the center console and gear shift to the passenger seat, assuming the passenger door is not blocked. A recall of this known defect is required immediately to save lives and allow trapped drivers and passengers to get out of car in reasonable time and way.

5 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/24/2014

This vehicle was imported from canada at blaine, washington in 2014. This vehicle still reports speed in kilometers and records mileage in kilometers even though it now has a washington title. .

6 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/16/2014

Not sure this is something you would pursue but I have not been able to get satisfaction from lake norman Infiniti locally or their national customer service support desk. I have a 2006 Infiniti coupe with 24k miles on it. I had an issue with what was determined to be the cooling fans for that car. I was told by the parts manager(john) at the dealership that car has known issues with the cooling fans. The service manager (victor) sent me to the national team. The car went into service on 08/05/06. The part failed on or about 08/15/14. I am being told by the national team that the part had a 8 yr ' hard' warranty on it. There have since been denials about the part being defective since my initial contact with lake norman dealership. I was there in March of 2014 for service and was never communicated an issue with that part. The car has low mileage as it sits in the garage most the time. I was driving it to wilmington when I saw the first evidence of a problem on 08/16. As a result of the issue, I had to replace the cooling fans and the radiator on the car.

7 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/21/2014

Vehicle accelerated rapidly while coming to a stop in a slot parking space. Operators foot was on the break peddle at the time of the rapid acceleration. Vehicle then crashed into a tree and came to a complete stop. The crash caused extensive front end damage to the hood and front bumper and the energy absorbing system. The air bags did not deploy but the air bag indicator lamp is on.

8 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/24/2014

I was heading south on I 75 in florida heading towards bradenton in the passing lane doing between 75 & 80 when my engine shut down making a loud noise. I immediately put my flashers on and was able to move to the side of the road in the emergency lane, luckily there was one. The car behind me went to the middle lane at that point. I am so furious this happened as I just had my car serviced the week before and I am 72, a senior citizen. The cooling fans apparently knocked out the thermostat. I had it towed to the dealer in tampa who then informs me the warranty was extended on a recall till October and that Infiniti would pay for the cooling fans but not the thermostat. . . I think all Infiniti owners should've been notified of this problem and had it fixed but no letters were written, its an unwritten recall apparently because they have had problems. I find fault with this situation because I could have been killed waiting for help just being on the side of the road like that on an interstate. . . . Shame on Infiniti for not making this a true recall. . . . Are they waiting for someone to get killed before they officially recall it?? I no longer have any confidence in Infiniti and am looking for a different vehicle to purchase, this one is off my list now. . . This car has been very expensive to keep up. . . .

9 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/24/2014

I first complained to a consumer affairs representative for Infiniti in April, 2014, at the time the vehicle had approximately 42,000 miles. I am retired and don't drive very much, about 3,000 miles a year. I have owned Infinities since 1990 when I bought an m class, I've had all the classes; j, g whatever. Until 2005 I would buy and or lease a new car every 2 to 3 years. However, since I've been retired the need to replace a good running car, which has been mechanically superb and with less than 49,000 miles would be an extravagant and unnecessary move. I have not had an accident in over 20 yrs. The problems are regarding the exterior paint, which shows minor rust and the fading of the color in areas that are not necessarily overly exposed to the sun, I. E. Bellow the roof and over the rear doors. However, my biggest concern is the interior door panels which have pulled away from the doors due to a skimping of perhaps as little as 1/4" of material under the horizontal strip which is supposed to keep the panel in place. I have attempted to re-glue the panels, however due to the shrinkage of the material; my attempts have been less than successful. Since this is the first vehicle that I have ever owned for a period greater than 4 years, I am extremely disappointed with the obvious lack of companies, Infiniti and Nissan with their seeming lack of action for a longtime loyal customer. Sadly, in my correspondence to Infiniti consumer affairs, their response was a jolt to my sensibility and completely unacceptable.
