I WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH MY 2012 INFINITI M37X PURCHASED ON 1/3/2012 AT INFINITI. MY SAFETY WAS PUT AT RISK WITH THIS VEHICLE. I TOOK DELIVERY OF MY NEW M37X ON THE NIGHT OF 1/4/2012. UPON DELIVERY, I DROVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS(65 MPH). THE CAR WAS VIBRATING CONSTANTLY, AND I FELT THE VIBRATIONS PROMINENTLY THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. WITHIN TWELVE HOURS OF DELIVERY, I CONTACTED INFINITI ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUES VIA EMAIL AND TELEPHONE. ON 1/5/2012, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT INFINITI. INFINITI DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED TWO DEFECTIVE TIRES/WHEELS. I FEEL THAT MY SAFETY HAS BEEN PLACED IN JEOPARDY WITH THIS INFINITI VEHICLE. MY MINIMUM EXPECTATION FROM INFINITI IS THE DELIVERY OF A SAFE VEHICLE. *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
