Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component

Engine

5 reports
“There is a rattling or knocking noise coming from the engine, and the vehicle experiences a loss of power whenever I accelerate. While driving, the collision warning symbol was flashing on the dashboard. The vehicle was inspected by an Infiniti dealership, and their diagnosis was that no metal debris was found in the engine oil pan, but the VCR actuator needs to be replaced. I also took the vehicle to an independent repair shop specializing in Infiniti vehicles. They recommended taking it back to the dealership for repairs because there is a recall campaign related to engine replacement due to the damage found, and there is a possibility that the engine may need to be replaced. The independent repair shop provided the following notes: Notes: Upon arrival, the vehicle had the Check Engine, ABS, Brake, Traction Control (TRAC), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), SRS, Airbag, and other warning lights illuminated on the dashboard.”
