FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING ON A VERY BUSY STREET GOING ABOUT 45MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING MY CAR LOST POWER. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT IT DID NOT WORK AND THEN I TRIED BRAKING AND THEN I KNEW I WAS IN TROUBLE. THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND AT ALL, SO I PULLED OFF TO A SIDE STREET WHERE THE CAR ACTUALLY ROLLED TO A STOP. I COULD BARLEY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I FIND OUT TODAY AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH THERE WAS A RECALL # 10V074000 ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL BUT IT'S VIN # SPECIFIC. MEANING THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. SO NOW I'M STUCK WITH A BILL FOR 969 BUCKS FOR THIS EXACT RECALL! NISSAN WONT BE GETTING MY BUSINESS ANYMORE, MY LIFE AND SAFETY IS WAY TO PRECIOUS !!!!!! NO RECOURSE WHAT SO EVER! UGH.

SERVICE BRAKES
50000 MILES ON IT AT MOMENT AND FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS MY INFINITI LOOSES BRAKE POWER. LAST WEEK I ALMOST RAN ON A VEHICLE WITH MY 6 MONTH OLD SON RIDING WITH ME. ONCE THE VEHICLE COMES TO COMPLETE STOP AFTER A WHILE AND ONCE THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. WHEN IT HAPPENS THERES A HUGE GRINDING NOISE AND BRAKE PEDAL SHAKES VERY BADLY AS IF THERES NO BRAKE ON THE CAR. ABOVE ALL THE VEHICLE HAS ALL GOOD BRAKES. THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON TOO WHEN THIS HAPPENS . AS MENTIONED ONCE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED EVERYTHING WOEKS NORMAL. I GOOGLED ONLINE AND SO MANY PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR MODELS HAVE THESE ISSUES. MOST IMPORTANT THE DEALER DOESNT ACKWOLEGES IT AND SAYS THERE NO RECALL . I BELEIVE THEY WAITING ONCE SOMEONR DOES BEFORE THEY WILL TAKE ACTION.I HOPE SOME ACTION CAN BE TAKEN ABOUT HIS KILLING MATTER.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN WATER ST, UPPER MARLBORO, MD ON MY WAY TO WORK AND THE REAR OVERHEAD CONSOLE (CONSOLE ASSY-ROOF) JUST FELL ON MY SHOULDER AND BACK SEATS. I'VE ATTACHED IMAGES SHOWING THE UNIT BREAKING APART FROM THE SCREWS AND AFTER RESEARCH I SEE THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH INFINITI AND NISSAN VEHICLES ALIKE.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE REAR OVERHEAD CONSOLE FELL WHILE DRIVING. APPARENTLY IT WAS DUE TO THE HEAT ON THE ROOF THAT MELTED THE 6 CLIPS INSIDE THAT HOLDS IT TO THE CEILING, I'M CONFIDENT THIS HAS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND NEEDS BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. IF MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN WERE IN THE VEHICLE IT COULD HAVE EASILY KILLED ONE IF NOT BOTH. FLIMSY PLASTIC BRACKETS THAT CAN EASILY MELT, SHOULD NOT BE USED IN A VEHICLE LIKE THIS. CURRENTLY, THE ONLY THING HOLDING IT UP IS THE MAIN POWER CABLE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF INFINITY AND NISSAN ARMADA'S WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. AND TO THINK THEY WANT $90K FOR THE NEW QX WITH CHEAP CRAP UNDER THE HEADLINER. REALLY?!?! WHEN I CONTACTED INFINITY USA, THEY ACTED SURPRISED AND SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING, AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT CONSUMER AFFAIRS READ OFF THEIR SCRIPT TO ME.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING THE EMERGERCNY BRAKE DASH LIGHT WILL BECOME LIT AND ALL BRAKING ACTIONS HAVE DRASTICALLY REDUCED POWER. A AN AUDIBLE GRINDING NOISE IS OBSERVED FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKE PEDDLE HAS LITTLE TO NO RESISTANCE. A RESTART OF THE VEHICLE TEMPORARILY RESOLVE THE ISSUE, BUT THE ISSUE HAS REOCCURED NUMEROUS TIMES AND IS INCREASING IN FREQUENCY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
INFINITI/NISSAN ISSUED A RECALL BACK IN 2010 (RECALL ID#10V074000) FOR FUEL GAUGE/SENSOR SENDING UNIT PROBLEM. THE SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING ON LATER YEAR VEHICLES, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THERE ARE ENDLESS REPORTS ON THE WEB ACROSS MANY FORUMS WHERE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM FOR SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED BEFORE. SEE NOTES FROM PAST RECALL. RECALL ID # 10V074000 - FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM RECALL DATE: MAR 03, 2010 SUMMARY: NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2009 TITAN, ARMADA, AND INFINITI QX56 VEHICLES. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE MAY INACCURATELY DISPLAY THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SOME FUEL, TYPICALLY ABOUT ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY. CONSEQUENCE: THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH. IS THIS NO LONGER A SAFETY CONCERN? SAME ISSUE, JUST LATER MODELS... MINE SPECIFICALLY IS A 2011 AND I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN IT. IT FLUCTUATES AND SHOWS EMPTY WHEN IT'S NOT AND SHOWS FULL WHEN IT'S NOT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND ADVISE THE MANY OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
FUEL LEVELING SENSOR IS FAULTY IN A LARGE VARIETY OF INFINITI CARS, BUT THERE IS NOT RECALL FOR MY VIN. THE CAR'S FUEL GAUGE GOES UP AND DOWN ALL THE TIME AND TELLS ME I'M ON EMPTY WHEN I'M NOT AND NEVER REGISTERS FULL EVEN WHEN IT WAS JUST FILLED UP. IT CAN JUMP FROM READING 330 MILES LEFT TO EMPTY DOWN TO 299 AND BACK UP TO 330 IN JUST A FEW SECONDS. THE DIAGNOSTIC CONFIRMED A PROBLEM, BUT THEY WANT OVER $1,000 TO FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM IN MANY OF THEIR MAKES AND MODELS. THIS DOESN'T EVEN TOUCH ON THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE THAT IS FAULTY AS WELL. LUCKILY, THERE IS A RECALL FOR THAT ONE. HOW IS THE CONSUMER PROTECTED AGAINST THIS TYPE OF FAULTY PARTS? IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO? WE HAVE BEEN TOLD WE NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
EMERGENCY BRAKE: E-BRAKE APPEARS TO ENGAGE ON ITS OWN AND THE BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR COMES ON. THERE'S ALSO A GRINDING SOUND WHEN BRAKE IS PRESSED. GRINDING SOUNDS ONLY OCCURS WHEN THIS ISSUE COMES UP. EXHAUST MANIFOLDS: WAS NOTIFIED BY THE DEALER UPON A SERVICE INSPECTION THAT THERE WAS A SMALL CRACK IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. IS THIS A NORMAL THING? AND SHOULD THIS BE A RECALL ITEM AS IT COULD THROW OFF ANY SMOG CHECK TESTING. IN ADDITION HOW ABOUT THE EXHAUST IN THE CABIN ISSUE? MAYBE THEY USED TOO THIN OF A METAL FOR THE MANIFOLDS.

BRAKE LIGHT TURNS ON WHILE DRIVING THEN WHILE I STEP ON BRAKE SOUNDS LIKE A GRINDING NOISE. I'LL RESTART CAR AND IT WILL BE FINE. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE BRAKE IS MALFUNCTIONING.. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN U PUT ON REVERSE AND TURN THE WHEEL. U HAVE TO RESTART FOR IT TO GO BACK NORMAL.
