| Suspension problems |
On April 2nd I took my vehicle into the dealer for recall servicing. After leaving the dealer I had my vehicle inspected the next day by a third party repair shop and my brake caliper was missing the main bolt that connects to the brake pad. Brake pads were also less than 5% wear remaining. Myself and others were put in serious danger if my brakes had failed due to this serious oversight and disregard. My suspension also was unsafe in the rear but the dealer carried out a multi point inspection stating everything passed.
Front and middle crossmember rusted out to the point they have no more structural effects issues discovered while fixing a know issue to these models : rusted out and leaking engine and transmission oils pans I had confirmation from the dealership and other independent repair shop that leaking oils pans are common for those models and can cause engine and transmission failure. For the crossmembers they are important structural components that directly affect suspension/direction and drivetrain secureness. If the plastic shrouds/cover are not taken off during inspection those issues will goes undetected until one of them reaches failure.
Campers. The car does not have any alignment issues. Does not steer left or right. No pot holes rolled over. But the car is burning the tires from the inside wear of the tires equally in both front tires. Inifiniti dealer suggested I buy 4 new tires since all four are about the same since I have been rotating. And they blame the alignment of the car. I see no issues with my alignment and they say everything looks good underneath the car it's just out on line.
