2010 Infiniti EX35 Wagon w/SAB

MY DASHBOARD IS "MELTING." IT'S STICKY AND GOOEY, EMITS CHEMICAL FUMES, AND PROJECTS A GLARE OF TINY DOTS ALL OVER MY WINDSHIELD. I BEGAN NOTICING THIS AT BEGINNING 2019. DEALER SAID NOTHING THEY CAN DO (TOLD ME TO PUT A PIECE OF CARPET ON TOP OF IT). INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS SAID NOTHING THEY CAN DO (OCT 22, 2019) I CALLED AND EMAILED. I PARK IN MY GARAGE, AND IF IN A LOT, I USE A WINDSHIELD COVER. YOU CAN'T SEE IT IN A PHOTO, IT'S THE TOUCH, SMELL, AND GLARE. I BEGAN SUFFERING RESPIRATORY ISSUES FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, AND IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE LOOKING OUT OF A WINDSHIELD COVERED IN TINY DOTS. *TR

I AM WRITING THIS EMAIL DUE TO A LIFE THREATENING INCIDENT WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 INFINITI EX35(VIN:[XXX]). I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON ROUTE US1 AROUND 45-50 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL GOT STUCK AND WOULD NOT MOVE. I WAS IN THE FIRST LANE OF A 3 LANE ROAD AND WITH LOT OF DIFFICULTY WAS ABLE TO STOP IT ON THE SHOULDER. THIS WAS REALLY CRAZY THAT THE STEERING WHEEL COULD GET STUCK WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. I COULD HAVE GOT KILLED OR COULD HAVE KILLED SOME ONE DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER AND THEY SAID THAT THE POWER WOULD HAVE GOT LOST AND HENCE THE STEERING WHEEL GOT STUCK. I ASKED IF THEY COULD TOW THE VEHICLE AND THEY MENTIONED THEY COULD NOT TOW THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY. I AM REALLY SURPRISED BY SUCH A POOR LACK OF SERVICE BY YOUR SERVICE CENTER WHERE I ACTUALLY BOUGHT THE CAR. ANYWAYS I AM TOO SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND WOULD LIKE MY FULL MONEY BACK SO THAT I CAN BUY A DIFFERENT MODEL CAR. I HAVE TOWED THE CAR TO THE RAY CATENA INFINITI SERVICE CENTER INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I STARTED MY VEHICLE THIS MORNING AND A YELLOW LIGHT WITH A KEY CAME ON FOR THE FIRST TIME, I THOUGHT IS WAS THE KEY BATTERY SO I PAID NO ATTENTION, GOT TO MY DESTINATION AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, A FEW MINUTES LATER GOT BACK INTO THE CAR TO HEAD HOME AND IT WON'T START. I WAS STUCK THERE FOR FIVE HOURS TRYING TO GET IT STARTED WITH HELP FROM A LOCKSMITH AND MY MECHANIC, FINALLY FOUND THE ISSUE ON GOOGLE WAS A FAULTY STEERING WHEEL LOCK UNIT WHICH 37 OTHER PEOPLE HAD PROBLEMS WITH AND WAS CHARGED $900 AND UP TO FIX BY THE DEALERS THEY KNOW OF THIS ISSUE BUT WON'T RECALL IT. MY MECHANIC MOVED THE STEERING UP AND DOWN WITH THE LOCK RELEASE AND FINALLY GOT IT STARTED.

ON FRIDAY 7-AUGUST-2015 MY WIFE'S 2010 EX35 DID NOT CRANCKED. VEHICLE GOT TOWED TO INFINITI SERVICE DEPARTMENT. DIAGNOSTIC WAS RAN AND THE FAULTY PART IS THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK UNIT. A FORMER INFINITI MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT NISSAN ALTIMA'S USE THE SAME PART AND GOT RECALLED ON THOSE VEHICLES. HE ALSO STATES THAT WITH JUST MOVING THE TELESCOPING THE STEERING WHEEL IN AND OUT THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. HE WAS RIGHT AND NOW THE VEHICLE STARTS. HOWEVER SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATES THAT THE VEHICLE COULD LOCK THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING. THEY WANT $1,100 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MY TAKE IS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE THREATED AS THE SAME SITUATION AS THE ALTIMA.

INFINITI REFUSES TO TELL ME WHETHER OR NOT MY 2010 EX 35 HAS A TAKATA AIRBAG. *TR

MY VEHICLE (INFINITI EX 35, 2010) STOPS REPEATEDLY WHILE IN DS MODE. I HAVE DOCUMENTED 11 INSTANCES WHEN THIS VEHICLE STOPPED INCLUDING TODAY. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY WITH THE DEALERSHIP IN ALEXANDRIA VIRGINIA. *TR

I AM HAVING 'ACCELERATOR LAG'; MANY TIMES WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR FROM A STOP, IT WILL MOVE VERY SLOW. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN I AM PULLING OUT IN FAST TRAFFIC. I TRIED TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AT MY DEALER, BUT THEY SAID THEY HAD NO FIX FOR THIS. *TR

MY BRAND NEW EX35 INFINITY ADAPTIVE AND STANDARD CRUISE CONTROL ("ACC")CRASHED (QUIT WORKING) ON ME 4X IN THE FIRST 2 MONTHS I OWNED THE CAR. IN ADDITION DURING THAT PERIOD WHEN THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WORKED, IT DID NOT WORK FULLY OR PROPERLY. FINALLY, INFINITI DECLARED A RECALL FOR THE CRASHING ACC AND PURPORTEDLY "FIXED" IT ON 01/20/10. HOWEVER, AFTER THE "FIX" IT BECAME EVIDENT THAT A SAFETY WARNING FEATURE OF THE THAT CHIMES AND FLASHES WHEN ANOTHER CAR CUTS IN BETWEEN YOU AND THE CAR IN FRONT. THIS FEATURE EXISTED ON THE 2010 EX35 BEFORE THE "FIX", IS DESCRIBED IN THE EX35 MANUAL AND WORKED ON MY PREVIOUS CAR (A 2008 FX35) THAT HAD ACC. INFINITI'S RESPONSE IS THAT THIS FEATURE IS NO LONGER PART OF THE SYSTEM AND IF THE MANUAL STATES OTHERWISE, THEIR 2010 EX35 MANUAL IS WRONG.
