2015 Infiniti Q50

DUNLOP P245/R40R19 RUN FLATS. THESE TIRES SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE SOLD TO THE PUBLIC UNTIL THE ISSUES ARE RESOLVED. WE WERE DRIVING HOME WHEN THE FLAT TIRE LIGHT CAME HOME. WE WERE ON CITY STREETS. AAA PUT ON THE SPARE TIRE. THE DEALERSHIP STATED ON THE REPAIR ORDER THAT THE SIDEWALL OF TIRE WAS BLOWN OUT. WE HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE FOR $468. A WEEK LATER - THE 3 REMAINING TIRES ALL HAVE BUBBLES ON THE SIDEWALLS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD! I AM UNABLE TO GET NEW TIRES UNTIL TOMORROW AS THEY HAVE TO BE ORDERED AND I'M ORDERING MICHELINS - NOT DUNLOPS! ONLY DRIVEN ON THE NEW FOR 2 WEEKS AND CAN NOT RECEIVE A REFUND OR A PORTION OF THE MONEY BACK THAT I'VE SPEND. I HAVE A COMPLAINT IN TO GOODYEAR WHO HAVE STATED THAT THEY "MAY" ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE ISSUE RIGHT. THEY TOLD ME TO HAVE THE TIRES INSPECTED - WHICH I HAVE - ONLY TO BE TOLD WHAT I ALREADY KNOW - THEY ALL HAVE DAMAGE TO THE SIDEWALL. WE'VE ONLY PUT 14K MILES ON THE TIRES TOTAL.

ISSUE: J HOOKS HOLDING FLOOR MAT CREATES DRIVER SAFETY ISSUE. J HOOKS ARE NOT STATIONARY AND WHEN ROTATE CAUSES FLOOR MAT TO COME LOOSE AND CREATE SAFETY ISSUE BY PREVENTING PROPERLY USING GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL. BACKGROUND: PURCHASED 2015 INFINITI Q50 AS CPO INFINITI THOUSAND OAKS W\11,992 MILES ON 5/4/16. 5/21/16 WITH 12,622 TOOK FIRST TIME INTO DEALER TO ADDRESS ISSUE OF DRIVER FLOOR MAT SLIDING AROUND AND BUNCHING UP PREVENTING ME AT TIME FROM APPROPRIATELY REACHING THE GAS OR BRAKE PEDAL. DEALER INDICATE THIS IS NORMAL WITH CAR MODELS.. 7/26/16 TOOK BACK TO DEALER AS ISSUE WAS HAPPENING DAILY. DEALER SRV MANAGER LOOKED AT AND ACKNOWLEDGED ISSUE AND OFFERED ME NEW FLOOR MATS AND REPLACEMENT OF J HOOKS. ACCEPTED. 8/11/16 3RD TIME AT 16,825 MILES.SAME ISSUE AGAIN WITH J HOOKS AND FLOOR MAT.THIS TIME DEALER INSPECTED AND INDICATED FLOOR MAT COMES LOOSE FROM FLOOR HOOK. UNABLE TO MAKE FURTHER REPAIR TO CAR. I ESCALATED TO INFINITI CUSTOMER AFFAIRS WITH LETTER AND PHONE CALL. I ASKED FOR VEHICLE BUY BACK UNDER CALIFORNIA LEMON LAW. APPROX. 12 DAYS LATER INFINITI REPLIED WITH FOLLOWING: INFINITI REALIZES SITUATIONS MAY OCCUR WITH YOUR INFINITI VEHICLE THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, FALL OUTSIDE OF THE PARAMETERS OF THE NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY PROVIDED WITH YOUR VEHICLE. THEY SAID NO WAY IN NOT TO MANY WORDS. TALKED TO LEMON LAWYER AND SAID BE CAREFUL DEALER DOESN'T LIKE TO BE SUED, THEY WILL HIRE EXPERT WITNESSES AND IF YOU LOSE YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR WITNESSES. WENT BACK TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD ALL THE J HOOKS DO THE SAME THING. THEY ARE NOT STATIONARY AND ROTATE AROUND AND IF YOU STEP OUT OF THE CAR AND PUT PRESSURE ON THE MAT IT WILL MOVE. WAS TOLD WE WON'T PUT THIS INTO WRITING. I BOUGHT A UGLY ALL WINTER THICK RUBBER MAT WHICH IS HEAVY AND DOESN'T MOVE AROUND. GIVEN FLOOR MAT ISSUES INFINITI SHOULD TAKER OF ISSUE BETTER.

WHEN THE CAR HAD 8K MILES ON IT, THE FRONT ROTORS WENT BAD I.E. DEFECTED AND INFINITI DEALER FIXED THEM AND REPLACED THE FRONT PADS AS A WARRANTY ITEM. NOW AT UNDER 24K MILES, THE REAR BREAKS ARE GONE BAD BUT THE DEALER AND INFINITI CORP. ARE DENYING THEY'RE DEFECTED AND REFUSE TO FIX THEM. THIS IS MY 3RD INFINITI, I HAD BEFORE A 2008 G35S, AND 2013 G37S, I DRIVE MY CAR REGULARLY IN TOWN AND HIGHWAY, NO EXCESSIVE DRIVING, AND MY REAR BRAKES NEVER WENT BAD ON OTHER INFINITI CARS UNDER 24K MILES. I BELIEVE THE REAR BREAKS HAVE PROBLEMS JUST LIKE THE FRONT ONES DID AND THE DEALER CONSIDERED THEM DEFECTED ROTORS BASICALLY AND FIXED THEM AS A WARRANTY ITEM. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED ME TO REPLACE THEM FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR SOME ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, BUT THE BREAKS DIDN'T MAKE ANY NOISE AT THE TIME AND I THOUGHT THE DEALER JUST WANTS TO MAKE SOME MONEY. BUT, STARTING YESTERDAY I HEARD THE GRINDING SOUND AND THAT'S WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER BACK AND ALSO TALKED TO INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIR, AND THEY REFUSED TO COVER THEM.
