CONCERN ABOUT RECALL IN 1997 FOR G-20 INFINITI, 4 DOOR. *BF NO RECALL FOUND. THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED ABOUT AN INCIDENT OF VANDALISM . *TC

GAS PEDAL CAME COMPLETELY LOOSE AS THE MECHANISM UNDERNEATH THE CAR BROKE...THEREFORE...ALMOST RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL. SUSPECT THE WELDING OR BOLT CAME LOOSE CONNECTING THE GAS PEDAL TO UNDERNEATH AUTO. UNDRIVABLE...

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON MY 1995 INFINITI G20. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED. I WROTE THE INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS DIVISIONS BUT WAS INFORMED THEY DO NOT KEEP RECORDS OF HOW MANY TRANSMISSION FAILURE OCCURRED FOR THIS MODEL AND IF THEY DID THEY WOULD NOT RELEASE THE INFORMATION. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF THIS TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS A SYSTEMIC DEFECT FOR THIS YEAR AND MAKE OF CAR.*AK

I AM THE OWNER OF A 1995 INFINITI G20 (VIN# [XXX]) WITH 110,135 MILES. ONE DAY, UPON OPENING MY TRUNK TO PLACE GROCERIES IN IT, THE TRUNK SLAMMED DOWN ON THE BACK OF MY HEAD AND NECK WHILE BENDING OVER TO PUT SOME ITEMS DEEP INTO IT. THE TRUNK SLAMMED DOWN WITH SUCH FORCE THAT I ENDED UP WITH A CONCUSSION AND BRUISED SPINE PER 2 DOCTORS THAT EXAMINED ME AFTERWARDS. THE 2 SUPPORTING TRUNK GAS LIFTS WERE WORN, HOWEVER, THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE PRODUCED A FORCE GREAT ENOUGH TO CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR HARM WHEN THE TRUNK IS IN THE FULLY OPEN POSITION. I FEEL THAT THIS IS AN ENGINEERING SAFETY DEFECT ON THE PART OF INFINITI/NISSAN AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO RECTIFY THIS HORRIBLE SAFETY PROBLEM. THIS TRUNK SHOULD BE CONSIDERED HAZARDOUS. *NLM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ABS CONTROL UNIT HAS DEVELOPED A LEAK WHICH DEALER SAYS COULD FAIL CATASTROPHICALLY WITH TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING. MANUFACTURER WILL NOT REPLACE FOR FREE AT A REDUCED PRICE.*AK

BIG SIDEWALL DEFECT. DISCOVERED BEFORE IT BLEW OUT.*AK (DOT NUMBER: BFRCTU51 TIRESIZE: P195/65/14)

THE FIRST REPORT HAS TO DO WITH THE CLUTCH SYSTEM. AT 35,000 MILES ON ROUTINE INSPECTION MY DEALER INFORMED ME THAT CLUTCH CYLINDER NEAR THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS SEIZING AND CAUSING AN ANNOYING SQUEAK. IT TURNS OUT THE THAT FAILURE OF THIS CYLINDER CAUSED THE PRESSURE PLATE TO NOT RELEASE FROM THE CLUTCH PLATE AS IT NORMALLY SHOULD WHEN TAKEING THE FOOT OFF THE CLUTCH PEDAL. THIS CAUSED THE CLUTCH DISK/PLATE TO EXCESSIVELY WEAR TO THE POINT IT NEEDED REPLACING. MY VEHICLE NOW HAS 59,000 MILES AND THE CYLINDER NEAR THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS SQUEEKING AGAIN... MAKING ME THINK IT IS FAILING AGAIN. I DON'T THINK IT IS NORMAL FOR ME TO REPLACE THIS PART AT MY EXPENSE EVERY 30,000 MILES. I THINK THIS IS A POORLY DESIGNED PART AND THINK THAT INFINITY/NISSAN SHOULD FIND A REPLACEMENT PART THAT DOES NOT FAIL SO OFTEN. THE COST TO ME TO REPLACE THIS EVERYTIME THE CYLINDER FAILS IS IN THE AREA OF $800.00. THE COST INVOLVES THE CYLINDER NEEDING REPLACEMENT AND WELL AS THE TEARDOWN OF THE TRANMISSION SYSTEM TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH DISK/PLATE.*AK
