What owners report most
Steering
“VEHICLE 4WAS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON. WHILE DRIVING AFTER MAKING A TURN THE STEERING WHEEL UN-ALIGNS ITSELF SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT IT'S AS IF THE CAR IS UNALIGNED. I DID RESEARCH AFTER READING THERE HASVE BEEN MANY INFINITY RECALLS FOR STEERING ISSUES AND THIS IS COMMON. I AM HIGHLY CONCERNED I MAY GET INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS MANUFACTURE ISSUE. HOW CAN I GET ASSISTANCE TO GET THIS FIXED?”
Electrical system
“Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2013 Infiniti M37. The vehicle was a local independent dealer sale. The contact stated that after purchasing the vehicle, the contact was informed by the mechanic that there was a mileage discrepancy. At the time of purchase, the mileage was 80,000. The VIN search by the mechanic indicated that the mileage was 180,000.”
Air bags
“In December, 2022, the airbag warning light activated. AT a cost to us of over $1500, the Infiniti dealer replaced the failed sensor. What we did not know is that this did not fix the problem and the air bag on the passenger side would never have deployed in the event of an accident. In November, 2023, the airbag warning light again activated. It turns out that the seat assembly had actually failed of which we were unaware. This is a very expensive repair to a part that should never have failed in the first place. After significant discussions with Infiniti, they did decide to cover the cost of the seat assembly itself but not the labor to install it (another $800). At this time, we are still unclear as to whether this will actually solve the problem. Aside from a very expensive repair to a part which never should have failed (especially since the car is very lightly driven) we were and are very concerned that this could have resulted in a very serious injury in the event of a vehicle crash. We consider the discussions with Inifiniti to be unsatisfactory with respect to the whole incident.”
