DT: THE CONTACT STATES THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. THE BEAM FROM THE LIGHTS WILL SHOW THE ROAD FOR NO MORE THAN TEN TO FIFTEEN FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE COMPUTER LEVELING SYSTEM POSITIONING THE LIGHT BEAM CLOSER TO THE VEHICLE THAN NECESSARY. HE FEELS THAT UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS BRAKING DISTANCES WOULD EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF LIGHTED AREA. WHEN HE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, THEY SAID THAT THE LIGHTS WERE DESIGNED TO DO THIS. *AK UPDATED 11/29/2005 - *NM UPDATED 01/11/06. *JB

I JUST BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2006 INFINITI M35 ON OCTOBER OF 2005 FROM MILLER IFINITI IN THE CITY OF VAN NUYS CA. I BARELY HAVE 3 MONTHS WITH THIS CAR AND THE BRAKES ARE ALREADY SQUEAKING. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND SPOKE TO CARL MILLER (MANAGER OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT) AND ADVISED IN DETAIL OF THE "SQUEAKING PROBLEM OF MY VEHICLE" HE LITERALLY TOLD ME "QUOTE ON QUOTE" TO GET ON THE FREEWAY AND ON THE WAY OUT OF THE EXIT TO BRAKE REALLY HARD - THAT WOULD SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE PROBLEM. I SAID NO, I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS GOING TO TAKE MY CAR…

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A CONCRETE WALL, CAUSING A MINOR KNEE INJURY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AS A PRECAUTION. UPON INSPECTION THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND WAS INSPECTED EACH TIME.

I WAS BACKING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE THE CAR ACCELERATED AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL IT HIT A CONCRETE WALL IN MY BACKYARD, KNOCKING IT DOWN. I CONTACTED INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS. I WAS ADVISED NOT TO MOVE THE CAR, A DEALER TECHNICIAN WOULD BE SENT TO LOOK AT THE CAR. FINALLY, ALMOST TWO MONTHS LATER, ON 11/1 I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND THE TECHNICIAN LOOKED AT IT ON 11/2. ALL HE DID WAS DRIVE THE CAR, HE DID NOT DO ANY DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE RESULTS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH INIF…
