There was previous recall on this vehicle, 10v-074 (Infiniti #r1011) for a fuel sender problem, causing the fuel gauge to be inaccurate. Infiniti says it was fixed in 2010. Unfortunately, I am having the exact same problem now, and have run out of gas twice because of it. Infiniti said they can't help because it was already fixed. Safety issue because running out of fuel while driving is dangerous. Both times has been on an interstate. It was a previously reported recall and "fixed" but has failed again. Infiniti says they won't fix it again.
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.
During normal operation of the vehicle and while in motion, the abs brake light indicator on the dash control panel illuminates when applying the brakes, which cause the brakes to shake and make scraping sound. At that point the brakes fail to stop the vehicle in a safe distance, increasing the chance of a collision. Abs brake light clears and normal brake functions return when the ignition is turned off, then back on.
Airbag light suddenly began flashing. I took truck to dealer and they said driver side airbag module shorted internally. Price to fix is $1,600. 00. This truck has never been in an accident or at any time had its airbags deployed. All service to truck has been with Infiniti dealerships. Service representative said electronic issue and not owner error. This could happen at any time with this truck. I called customer service and they said problem is covered if truck less than 4 years old or 60,000 miles. This is an electronic manufacturing defect and Infiniti should not charge for their electronic defect affecting safety. All airbags in vehicle are now disabled. Take responsibility Infiniti. Your coverage of functioning airbags should last the lifetime of your vehicles.
