“This car odometer is rolled back about 100,000 miles and I hope I am reporting this at the right place. I went to purchase this vehicle and seller paperwork doesn't match up with vehicle.”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Mar 2024
“I just purchased a 2012 Infiniti G37 and love the car. Once I drove off the car lot I noticed the dashboard was extremely sticky and shiny and appears to be melting. Every time the dash gets in the sun and heat it gets worse. It causes a glare on the windshield that is blinding. I'm afraid the blind spots are going to cause me to hit a person or another car. I contacted Infiniti and they said there is nothing they can do since the car is out of warranty. What can Infiniti do to resolve this dangerous situation?”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Feb 2024

“The cooling system in this vehicle has a two part performed hose that connects the engine cooling system to the cabin heat exchanger. The two parts are connected with a plastic junction with two spring clamps. This vehicle has approx 85k miles and still has the original coolant. This junction disintegrated. It appears to not be compatible with the coolant. It delaminated and sheared. Luckily it broke while stopped in the garage. If it had happened at high speed it would have spewed the coolant at the rear of the engine, and at least some of it would have gone to the windshield, obstructing the view. I have saved the disintegrated part.*dt*jb”Owner report · Engine · Jan 2021
