Hole in top of seat near headrest speaker
I bought a 09 G37s vert on Fathers Day. Has 11,000 miles on it. A few days later I noticed the TPMS warning light had come on. I checked and noticed the drivers rear tire was low. No problem! I filled it up to 39lbs and checked the rest for same. Everything was fine until the next day. Light was back on. I checked to see if possibly the valve was loosing air and if maybe there was a nail. Couldn't find a thing.
Then my wife spotted a hole in the drivers side seat near the headrest. I couldn't believe it. My new car now has two bummers. Well, I decided to call Carmax where I bought it and explained everything and they said bring it in. I received a call today from Carmax and told me that there is indeed a hole/nail in said tire and that I must have picked up a nail. I told the guy that I have been putting air in this tire all week. It had to have come from someone else test driving or? He agreed and long story short(he he) the guy ordered two new tires for the rear. Now for the hole in the seat. I think it's on to Infiniti for a replacement. I still have the remainder of the 4yr/60,00mil warranty so I'm confident this will also be remedied.
Now, don't get me wrong. I love this car but It sure seems like I have gotten off to a bad start with this one. Sorry for the rant!! Verts rule!! X

Im sure they will cover that under warranty... Also Check your seat belt strap holders (whatever they are called) I was in the dealership the other day and saw a vert getting the front seat covers replaced due to the leather straps having the leather broken due to the design of the buckle that holds it in place.... you may get two new seat covers for your front seats... if you have that going on....

Dude... read my post Lemon G... by 11,000 miles my car had a rebuilt engine. Consider your issues minor. I'm confident that Infiniti will do the right thing for you.
Glad to hear Carmax took care of you as well.

I did read your post. I am SHOCKED you are getting another G
I dropped by the dealership today and got the obligatory "I've never seen that before". They also weren't aware of the seat belt problem but I gave them the ITB number. Goes in next week for everything.
Also, the service guy told me a about a woman that came in a few weeks ago. Lowered the top with a computer in the trunk. Much damage ensued (mostly just cosmetic). Although the car only had less than 1,000Kms, they told her "no warranty for you". Wonder what that will cost in the end?
I have no idea about Carmax??

Plus I believe everyone deserves a second chance.

First time I had the car at home I dropped the roof and opened the trunk to look inside. I knew that first day that NOTHING was ever going in the trunk with the top down. Except for the little "slot" behind the tail lights.

The 2012's come standard with a full-size spare. There goes that extra little space below the folded top area where I used to store my laptop.
