| Headlights problems |
Constant moisture build up causing headlight burnout a dangerous situation didn't know until police pulled me over. Five times this incident has happened. Very expensive fix and extremely expensive replacement. Unfair to consumer auto shops says the company knows about it. A safety recall is needed.
Headlamp assembly is cracked and condensation builds up, shorting out the igniter. Apparently my mechanic says that Nissan and Infiniti know of the problem 8 models for 6 years (or 6 models for 8 years) and have not issued a recall. But the price for the headlamp assemblies and ignitors are outrageous. The problem is so prevalent, there is a youtube video showing how to dry out the headlamp assembly and caulk it to reuse! this many problems and no recall seems very dangerous. It cost me $1000 to replace an ignitor. It would have cost $4,000 to replace two headlamp assemblies. Who has $4,000 to replace a couple of headlamps????? and how is this safe. It is illegal to drive with one headlight. The manufacturer should make sure this equipment is working properly!!!!!.
The contact owns a 2008 Infiniti Qx56. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 mph, the passenger side headlight failed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the passenger side headlight was replaced. In addition, the driver side headlight failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 34,000.
I bought my vehicle used, a few weeks after purchase I noticed condensation inside the headlight assembly on the passenger side. I've received no help in solving this problem from the dealer or Infiniti the company themselves now both driver and passenger have condensation in them in. The situation is so bad that it blows the lamps so that night driving is hazardous let alone dangerous . I cannot have my children in the car due to this. I've been told by dealers this is a defect with the vehicle and Infiniti will not listen or help with this problem, I found many others with this same situation I'm asking for your help with this not just for my family but the countless others who are in danger of a very serious problem with this vehicle low visibility with the assembly and lamps blowing out from the condensation I cannot drive my vehicle at night now. Please help me.
