2008 Infiniti G37

THE DASHBOARD HAS NUMEROUS CRACKS AND A VERY STICKY RESIDUE ALL OVER,UNABLE TO CLEAN, EVERY CLEANING CLOTH STICKS TO THE DASH. DASH IS VERY SHINY BECAUSE OF THE STICKY RESIDUE ON IT, MAKING A GLARE WHEN THE SUN IS BRIGHT. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE GLARE AND IT IS ALSO VERY UNATTRACTIVE BECAUSE OF THE LINT AND EVERYTHING THAT IS STUCK TO IT ALL THE TIME.

NUMEROUS CONSUMERS HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE LACK OF QUALITY, SPECIFICALLY IN THE 2008-2009 DASH BOARD COMPONENTS OF THE INFINITI G37. THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF MELTING AND STICKY DASHBOARDS AS A RESULT OF POOR BUILD QUALITY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE MELTING DASHBOARD GLARES INTO THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING DIFFICULTY TO SEE DOWN THE ROAD.

THE MATERIAL INFINITI USES FOR THEIR DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING FROM THE HEAT. BECAUSE OF THIS THE CAR STARTED GETTING A STRONG GLARE THAT BLINDS ME FROM SEEING THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE WINSHIELD. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE THE CAR ON THE LEFT LANE FROM THE BOTTOM CORNER OF THE WINSHIELD THE DASH IS ALSO VERY STICKY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I CALLED INFINITI AND EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, INFINITI IS JUST IGNORING THE SITUATION AND THE REPAIR TO THE DASH IS SET RIGHT AROUND 1000 BUCKS. THAT'S INSANE!

ON THE APPROX. DATE OF INCIDENT, I STARTED THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING AND NOTICED THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD BLINK AND NOT TURN OFF. AFTER REFERENCING THE MANUAL, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO AN INFINITI DEALERSHIP TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR HAD FAILED AND WOULD COST MORE THAN $2,700 TO REPLACE. I LEFT WITHOUT REPLACING THE PART. I NOTICE THIS EXACT ITEM HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT MAKE/MODEL/YEAR VEHICLE, BUT THE MANUFACTURER HAS TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT FOR MY SPECIFIC VIN. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL 2008 INFINITI G37 VEHICLES.....UPDATED 10/01/15*BF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 INFINITI G37. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON ALL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSORS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,360.

VEHICLE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN VARIOUS AREAS. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I STARTED NOTICING CRACKS CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF THE DASH WHERE THE DOOR AND THE DASH MEETS. CRACKS CAN BE FOUND AROUND THE A/C VENTS, ABOVE THE LCD DISPLAY, AND ON THE LOWER RIGHT SIDE NEXT TO THE LCD DISPLAY. THE VEHICLE IS GARAGED KEPT AND DRIVEN ONLY A COUPLE OF TIMES DURING THE WEEK SO, I'M EVEN MORE DISAPPOINTED HOW POORLY THE DASHBOARD IS HOLDING UP. I'VE OWNED A RANGE ROVER, COUPLE LEXUS AND A MERCEDES AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCE SUCH AN ISSUE. TODAY I SUBMITTED SEVERAL PICTURES TO INFINITI AND AWAITS THERE RESPONSE. I WILL UPDATE THIS COMPLAINT WITH THE END RESULTS. *TR
