When problems show up
Only 10 complaints listed a mileage: too few to say when problems show up.
Questions to ask the seller
- Is the airbag light off, and were any airbag recalls done?
- Does it accelerate and hold speed smoothly, with no surging or stalling?
- Do all the lights, screens and power features work? Has the battery, alternator or any wiring been replaced?
- Infiniti sent dealers 125 repair notes for this car. Was this one done: “SERVICE INFORMATION The Body Control Module (BCM) for the Applied Vehicles in this bulletin is…”?

How serious. Out of all 12 owner complaints filed so far (every year since it was sold, not just the first 3), owners reported:
“Average car” = what the same number of complaints would include at the rate across every model year we track. Owners report these themselves; NHTSA doesn't confirm the cause.
What owners complain about most. From owner complaints to the government.
Share of this year's owner complaints filed with NHTSA, not the share of cars that break. One complaint can name more than one area.

When owners reported problems. From owner complaints to the government.
Most owners who filed a complaint with NHTSA had 0K to 3K miles (1K to 5K km) on the car (10 of all 12 complaints filed so far listed the miles). This shows when people who had a problem reported it, not the odds that your car will have it.
Fixes owners look up most.

It measures complaints, not crash safety. A complaint is an owner's report, not a confirmed defect. How it works
