2010 Infiniti G37

MY 2010 G37 INFINITI IS EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN PILOT SPORT A/S 3 TIRES, SIZE 245/45R18. ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE 30 DAYS AND WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED BAD AND NOT DRIVABLE AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED BECAUSE IT DID NOT INVOLVE ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE TIRE WAS A REPLACEMENT TIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. NOT SURE OF THE DAMAGE COST DONE TO VEHICLE. REQUEST RESEARCH HELP

WHEN PARKING THE VEHICLE AND GETTING OUT WITH THE KEYS IN HAND AND NOT OUT TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, THERE IS NOT SOME TYPE OF WARNING SO THAT ONE DOESN'T LEAVE A RUNNING CAR IN A CLOSED GARAGE. I KNOW THAT THIS IS THE DRIVERS FAULT BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE AND TO A COUPLE IN HIGHLAND PARK, ILL THAT WERE ASPHASTICATED AND DIED FROM THIS TYPE OF OCCURRENCE. I HAVE TALKED TO NIASIAN US HEADQUARTERS TWICE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY DO NOT ACCEPT AN UNREQUESTED CONSUMER COMMENT AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT CONSIDER AND/OR LOOK INTO THIS TYPE OF OCCURRENCE. EVEN THOUGH THERE HAS BEEN DEATHS DUE TO THIS.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS BLINKING AND IT WILL NOT STOP. AFTER A VISIT TO THE INFINITI DEALER HERE IN KANSAS CITY THEY TOLD ME THE "OCCUPATION SENSOR" IS BAD AND THE TOTAL COST TO REPAIR WOULD BE $5488.67 THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG AS NOW THE OCCUPANTS ARE NOT PROTECTED AND NISSAN AND THE NHTSA NEED TO ISSUE A RECALL. THIS IS 1 OF 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS AND THE EXTRAVAGANT COST TO REPAIR.

ON THE EVENING OF 8/1015 IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING THE CAR A LOUD METAL ON METAL GRINDING SOUND WAS HEARD AND THE ENGINE STOPPED. THIS RECURRED ON ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE ENGINE. WITH 3RD ATTEMPT CAR STARTED AND APPEARED TO BE WORKING BUT THE AC WASN'T COOLING AND THE DEFOGGER FAILED TO CLEAR WINDSHIELD MISTING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC THE NEXT MORNING AND A CATASTROPHIC PART FAILURE WAS FOUND IN THE COMPRESSOR. THERE WAS A BREAK IN THE METAL CASING AND BITS OF METAL WERE IN THE FLUID REQUIRING NOT ONLY REPLACEMENT OF THE COMPRESSOR BUT FLUSHING OF THE TUBING AND RECHARGING OF THE FREON. FORTUNATELY THE METAL FRAGMENTS DID NOT CAUSE OTHER ENGINE DAMAGE AND THE CAR WAS PARKED AT THE TIME AND NOT ON THE ROAD.

I WAS STOPPED AT RED LIGHT AND DRIVER BEHIND ME DID NOT SEE THE LIGHT. SHE REAR ENDED ME AT AN APPROX SPEED OF 30-35 MPH. THE FORCE OF THE HIT PUSHED MY CAR INTO THE ONE IN FRONT OF ME, RESULTING IN A 4 VEHICLE ACCIDENT. AT THE TIME OF IMPACT, MY GLASSES CAME OFF OF MY FACE AND I HIT THE WINDSHIELD - MY SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK. THE FORCE OF THE CRASH BENT THE FRAME, DESTROYED THE TRUNK, AND RESULTED IN A TOTAL LOSS. I SUSTAINED A MODERATE TO SEVER CONCUSSION, ALONG WITH WHIPLASH AND PERSISTENT HEADACHES. *TR
