| 2005 | SUSPENSION | I OWN A 2005 INFINITI G35 COUPE WITH THE SPORT TUNED SUSPENSION OPTION. RUBBER BUSHINGS ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION COMPRESSION RODS CRACKED CAUSING SEVERE MISALIGNMENT AND EXCESSIVE CAMBER. THIS CAUSED EXTREME TIRE WEAR ON THE INNERMOST 0.5-INCH OF TIRE TREAD ON BOTH FRONT TIRES, AND EXPOSED AND WORE THROUGH THE STEEL BELTS AND RADIAL PLIES ON THE LEFT TIRE. THE REMAINDER OF BOTH TIRES' TREADS SHOW NORMAL WEAR WITH ALL FOUR TREADS ON EACH TIRE MEASURING 4/32 TO 5/32. THE EXCESSIVE WEAR WAS NOT VISIBLE DUE TO ITS LOCATION ON THE TIRE WITHIN THE WHEEL WELL. THERE WAS NO DEGRADATION IN RIDE OR HANDLING WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AND NO NOISE CREATED TO WARN THE DRIVER. OWNER DISCOVERED THE DANGEROUS TIRE WEAR DURING ROUTINE REPLACEMENT OF FRONT BRAKE PADS. VEHICLE HAS ALL STOCK SUSPENSION WITH KUMHO ECSTA SPT KU31 225/40-19 TIRES. OWNER IS THE ORIGINAL VEHICLE OWNER AND RETAINED DAMAGED COMPRESSION RODS AND TIRES FOR TESTING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,960 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND 33,788 MILES ON THE TIRES. *TR |
| 2004 | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH | DT: INFINITI G 35 2004. WHEN IN THE CAR, AND THE DOORS ARE LOCKED EITHER MANUALLY OR ELECTRONICALLY THE CONSUMER COULD NOT UNLOCK THEM UNLESS THEY WERE MANUALLY OR ELECTRONICALLY UNLOCKED. THE CONSUMER COULD NOT UNLOCK THE DOOR BY TUGGING ON THE DOOR HANDLE. THE REASON HE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THIS WAS BECAUSE HE LIVED IN FLORIDA, AND CARS GO INTO CANALS FREQUENTLY. HE IS CONCERNED THAT IN THE EVENT OF THE CAR GOING INTO A CANAL, THE SYSTEM WILL POSSIBLY SHORT OUT, AND HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE DOOR OPENED. *AK *SC *JB |
