I am going from "ok, it's a first year car", to WTF. Seriously. I am paying 7 bills a month for this? I am trying to love my new car, but it is becoming an embarrassment. This car has been to the shop more times in it's < 3000 miles than my last three cars combined. Just WOW. I am starting to think about selling it, but I am going to see if these issues can be addressed. Some are nitpicky, some are NOT. I don't want my damn seatbelt letting go in a crash.

Just wow.

Wow! You have that many problems, how many miles do you have and when did you get your car?

Dont worry he is like 1 out of maybe 30 People that has that many problems, you are on a Forum so take it with a Grain of salt, not sayin hes lying but you shouldnt let peoples problems discourage you, I thought the same thing, but its a Japanese Car man, MADE IN JAPAN, Not Partially made in Japan, 95%! Not no Hondas that are domestic made nowadays

Time has a way of showing most issues. I haven't seen any problems as extensive as these, so it might very well be one particular unfortunate example. It is very very early to judge any new car after only a few months after it's introduction.

maybe it was another one assembled by yoji yakamuri or something. (*read the seat belt post)

YUP! THAT MOTHERFCKR!!! YASHURI YAKAMURA!!!!!! I WILL FIND HIM AND BEAT HIM DOWN WITH CHOPSTICKS!!!!!

aaahhhh....deep breath....

at any rate, i know how you feel man. such a new car and yet it sleeps at the dealer... i havent seen my car for a week now because of the seatbelt incident and it sux. corp is gonna have to spot me a week or two or rent on that G. its not fair.

Good news is that i didnt find anything wrong with the car (knock on wood) other than the seatbelt wich was just a freaak accident. do you think you can apply for a lemon? if you have this many issues then perhaps your eligible so long as you document all the issues.

sucks to hear that. keep us posted on the fixes and keep yelling at corporate about what you told us.

goodluck

man thats sux

can you explain #4 about the sunroof popping? does it like make a popping sound?

i have the ping and the crackling sound from the rearview mirror...not sure if it's from that tho

It seriously sounds like your was in an accident before and or was driven HARD before you got it. Did you buy new? There should be a place to look up VIN numbers and get a car history; I think it might list accidents etc..

Your's is definitely the exception.

Really? Everyone else complains it is too long and takes up too much space in the glove box. How long do you want it to be? Where do you want it to stretch to?

Agreed. It's a bitch putting both the cup holder and the ipod in there. I would never use that cupholder anyway. Imagine if you spilled a drink in there all over your ipod and cable...

I haven't had any big problems like you. If any bigger issues surface, maybe you can qualify it as a lemon? Sounds like you're having the most problems out of everyone. Good luck getting that resolved. Keep us posted!

One mechanical thing I noticed once was when I was in 5th gear at ~1000-1200rpm and it sounded like something was rattling outside (I could barely hear it). I don't notice it in the other gears, but then again, I haven't really paid a lot of attention to it.

The other thing involves the radio control on the steering wheel. I posted a thread about this.

I can't get into the infiniti dealership until next thursday, they are that busy.

After sleeping on it, I've decided I am just going to press on and make sure everything gets fixed to my satisfaction, even if I have to do it myself. After all, I still love and drive my wife and she has creaks and groans (especially when cold), and cost a hell of a lot more to maintain.

x2, i just leave mine in the center console. my center console is nothing but an ipod carrier now though.. with the ipod cable and video cables in there. i don't see any reason to need to be able to look at it while driving?
