VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THERE WAS AN APPARENT ELECTRICAL SHORT WITHIN THE INTERIOR FRAME NEXT TO THE PASSENGER WINDOW. I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHEN THE SHORT OCCURRED BUT THE INTERIOR LINING ON THE PANEL HAS THREE BURN MARKS ABOUT TWO INCHES IN DIAMETER. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS HAVE NOT WORKED SINCE THIS INCIDENT. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER WHOM I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEIR SERVICE ADVISOR, DALE GUNTER STATED THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE ELECTRICAL DEFECT OR BURNED PANEL UNDER WARRANTY. I FEEL THE FUSE CONTROLLING THE WIRE THAT SHORTED SHOULD HAVE BURNED OUT BEFORE THE ELECTRICAL FIRE COULD BURN THE INTERIOR PANEL. ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE ME WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
PLASTIC GUIDE BROKE, CAUSING TIMING CHAIN TO JUMP, CAUSING MANY VALVES TO BEND OR BREAK, AND CAUSING CRACK IN BLOCK. REQUIRED ENGINE REPLACMENT. NOW, 5 MONTHS LATER, THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AGAIN, REQUIRING ANOTHER NEW ENGINE. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS DOCUMENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED BY INFINITI DEALER. MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AT INITIAL OCCURRENCE, BUT DECLINED RESPONSIBILITY AND OFFERED ONLY TO GIVE A $1000.00 DISCOUNT ON PURCHASE OF NEW INFINITI.THERE APPEARS TO BE IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS DOCUMENTED IN YOUR ARCHIVES (SEE ODI I.D. 702338 & 833873). THIS HAS BEEN AN EXPENSIVE PROCESS AND I BELIEVE THAT INFINITI SHOULD BE MORE RESPONSIVE IN RESOLVING THIS MATTER. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I WAS TRICKED INTO BUYING THIS VEHICLE, BEING A FIRST TIME BUYER AND DIVORCED. INCLUDING THIS MAJOR FUEL LEAK (WHICH HAS NOT BEEN ESTABLISHED EXACTLY WHERE THE LEAK IS COMING FROM) THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE. EVEN IF THE TRANSMISSION IS REPLACED THE VEHICLE IS STILL TO HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE. I AM AT MY WITS END WITH THIS CAR BECAUSE I STILL OWE MONEY ON IT.
