Summary

I ORIGINALLY OWNED THIS Q50 2018 VIN [XXX] AND INFINITI REPLACED IT WITH THE ONE I HAD LISTED. THE FACT IS I OWN NEITHER OF THEM ANY LONGER BUT FEELI SHOULD REPORT IT BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH INFINITI REFUSED TO DEAL WITH. THE BLIND SPOT LIGHT DID NOT WORK ON EITHER CAR . BETWEEN 10 AM AND 8 PM YOU COULD NOT SEE THE LIGHT AND AUDIBLE SIGNAL YOU COULD BARELY HEAR. I AM REPORTING THIS PROBLEM IN THE HOPES OF SAVING LIVES. IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE IT COST ME $$ THE SECOND REPLACEMENT BUT NEVER FELT COMFORTABLE IN THE CAR . YET INFINITI COULD CARE LESS THOUGH THE DEALER WAS VERY HELPFUL INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT *TR
