National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) U.S. Department of Transportation 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE West Department, Washington, DC 20590 SUBJECT: SAFETY COMPLAINT â STRUCTURAL PAINT DELAMINATION AND DEBRIS HAZARD ⢠Vehicle: 2016 Infiniti QX80 ⢠Paint Color: Pearl White (Paint Code: QAA) ⢠Affected Area: Roof, hood, and upper body panels To Whom It May Concern, I am filing a formal safety complaint regarding a severe manufacturing defect on my 2016 Infiniti QX80 featuring the factory Pearl White (QAA) paint finish. The factory paint and primer have experienced a complete adhesion failure, causing the paint to shear off in massive, thick chunks down to the bare, unprime
I live in a state where it is required to have both front and back plates. When I got my 2016 QX80 it did not have official front plate mounting so I bought a kit and installed the front license plate. Since then I have not had a working sensor. The front collision sensor states thereâs an obstruction. I can no longer use cruise control or the front collision safety sensor because the front sensor was brilliantly placed where the plate needs to be installed. Poor design.
The contact owns a 2016 Infiniti QX80. The contact stated that while her husband was driving 50 MPH on the interstate, there was an abnormal booming sound coming from the sunroof, and the driver discovered that the sunroof glass had shattered. The contact called the Insurance Company for assistance. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was determined that the sunroof needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired; however, the dealer was in the process of ordering the part to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 27,448.
Vehicle will not shift pass 3rd gear. Valve body issue, diagnosed by dealership. Many of the same model have the same problem. Vehicles have very low mileage with a problem like this. Dealer refuses to replace part or compensate. Vehicle poses a potential safety issue on the road.
Airbag light keeps coming on and we take it in to be serviced and they say hey it shows low voltage so we tighten down your battery and that fixed it. Then we drive 100 miles and it's back on. Took it to a different dealer and they said the same thing. Another few hundred miles airbag light is on again. Putting my families lives in danger. When we bought this vehicle from Carmax that the same issue and took over 6 weeks before we could pick it up.
