ENGINE
IN DECEMBER 2013 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 60 MPH WHEN VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP BECAUSE OF THE SPEED I WAS DRIVING. LATER ON MY TRIP HOME I WAS DOING 45 MPH AND VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND LOSS ALL CONTROL OF VEHICLE. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTOZONE TO SCAN AND SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS. I CHANGED THE SENSORS AND HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL 3/20/2014 WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED SHUTTING DOWN AGAIN. FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS BAD FUEL. TRIED DIFFERENT FUEL STATION AND VEHICLE STILL WOULD SHUT DOWN UNEXPECTED. WHEN VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN YOU LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THE ROUTE THAT I DRIVE DUE TO A LOT OF CURVES IN THE ROAD. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO AUTOZONE AGAIN TO SCAN FOR THE PROBLEM AND NOW IT'S THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. CALLED INFINITI TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMMENTS ON THIS PROBLEM. INFINITI SAID THERE WAS NO OPEN RECALL. BOUGHT SENSOR AND WILL REPAIR MYSELF BEFORE A SERIOUS INCIDENT OCCURS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
FUEL GAUGE REGISTERS OVER HALF A TANK WHEN TANK IS ACTUALLY VERY NEAR EMPTY. WHEN TANK IS FILLED UP, GAUGE GOES TO JUST ABOVE FULL, AND SLOWLY DECREASES TO JUST OVER HALF A TANK AS THE TANK NEARS EMPTY. I HAVE TO WATCH MY MILEAGE AND GUESS TO KNOW WHEN I'M ALMOST OUT OF GAS. THIS SEEMS UNSAFE. *JS

AIR BAGS, SEATS
THE SEDAN HAS AN AIRBAG THAT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY THE AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES NON STOP ON THE VEHICLE AND DOES NOT GO AWAY. L LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE TOLD THAT IT WAS MY FAULT AND THEY DO NOT WARRANTY SAFETY ISSUES ANYMORE. THEY CONTINUES TO PRINT OUT A STATEMENT FOR $1000 DOLLARS WITH A CODE B1134. ITS A $35,000 DOLLAR CAR IT SHOULD NOT HAVE "SAFETY" ISSUES. MAYBE BECAUSE IT IS TO EXPENSIVE TO DEAL WITH OR IS A HUMAN LIFE MORE EXPENSIVE. THE AIRBAGS ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE FACT THAT THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR AN ISSUE THEY NEED TO RESOLVE INTERNALLY IS NOT VERY GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICE OR PROFESSIONAL. I KNOW OF OTHER CONSUMERS ONLINE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE PLENTY OF PEOPLE ONLINE WITH COMPLAINTS. BEING ITS A SAFETY ISSUE THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY I WILL TAKE LEGAL ACTION. I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THAT JUST HAVE AN ISSUE WITH INFINITI NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. THANKS *TR

ENGINE
I HAD A LOW OIL LIGHT AND DECIDED TO CHANGE THE OIL AND SPARK PLUGS. WHEN I REMOVED THE SPARK PLUG I FOUND OIL POOLING IN THE SPARK PLUG TUBE AND SAW AN OBVIOUS LEAK IN THE VALVE COVER SEAL. THE OIL LEVEL HAD REACHED 1CM ABOVE THE CONNECTOR IN THE BOOT. THIS CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ENGINE FIRE WHILE DRIVING. THE VALVE COVERS CONTAIN BAD SPARK PLUG TUBE SEALS. THIS ALLOWS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OIL TO POOL IN THE SPARK PLUG TUBE. WHEN THE OIL REACHES THE SPARK PLUG BOOT IT CAN IGNITE AND CAUSE ENGINE FIRES AT HIGH SPEED. *TR

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
ON 3/25 AT APPROX. 3:30 IN THE AFTERNOON I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON THE FLORIDA TPKE. AT APPROX 65-70 MPH WHEN I SUDDENLY HEAR A LOUD "SWOOSH" AND NOTICED THAT THE SHADE BENEATH MY MOONROOF WAS VIOLENTLY SHAKING. THE SHOCK NEARLY CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. I REACHED UP OPENED THE SLIDING SHADE COVER TO SEE THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THERE. I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE GLASS PORTION OF MY SUNROOF WAS GONE. AT THIS POINT I REALLY GOT NERVOUS THINKING THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY HAVE HIT THE CAR OR MOTORCYCLE BEHIND ME CAUSING A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT. I CALLED 911 WHO TRANSFERRED ME TO FLORIDA HWY PATROL. I GAVE THE OFFICER MY NAME & LOCATION AND HE INSTRUCTED ME TO STAY WHERE I WAS. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES HE CAME BACK ON THE PHONE TO TELL ME THAT THERE WERE NO REPORTS OF ANY ACCIDENTS OR DEBRIS ON THE ROAD. HE INFORMED ME THAT IT PROBABLY HIT THE GROUND AND SHATTERED. WHATEVER THE CASE, I FELT RELIEVED AND DROVE HOME. THE FOLLOWING DAY I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO INFINITI WHERE I WAS TOLD THEY WEREN'T GOING TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. NOT HAPPY WITH THAT I WAS GIVEN THE TELEPHONE # TO INFINITI CUSTOMER CARE DEPT. AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH THEY INSISTED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE I WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I ASKED FOR A COPY OF MY ORIGINAL WARRANTY, AN EXPLANATION OF HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN, HOW THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT, AND WHAT PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE SHOULD I HAVE DONE TO AVOID THIS. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT GIVE MY ANYTHING IN WRITING OTHER THAN THEY WEREN'T GOING TO PAY OR TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE THIS TO LITIGATION BUT I FELT A NEED AND RESPONSIBILITY TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT SO THAT IT COULD BE ADDRESSED. IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO DO PLEASE LET ME KNOW. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THERE IS A HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP AND THE VEHICLE IS WARMED AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES OF RUNNING. WHEN TACHOMETER HITS 1100 RPMS THE ENGINE SPUTTERS DOWN TO ABOUT 800 RPM AND JERKS FORWARD. THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AS THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WHETHER IN DRIVE, PARK OR NEUTRAL. VEHICLE HAS ONLY STALLED ONCE SO FAR. THERE APPEARS TO BE REPORTS OF THIS BEING RELATED TO A REAR TIMING BELT SHIELD GASKET. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING. *TR
