In owners' own words
We bought the car used at 63,000 miles (approx.). At 65,000 (approx.) the engine will not crank. No engine lights were on. Infiniti will not acknowledge warranty due to engine sludge even though it has been maintained. After online searches, this seems to be a regular occurrence for this model and year. Engine
Timing chain completely went when I had been complaining of a noise while it was under warranty. I was stranded on the side of the road. The starter completely went while driving. Now, I am told the transfer case is bad and I had to pull on side of road to a repair shop. Engine
The engine shut down while driving. There where no warning lights. We where told that the car had a faulty abs sensor and that caused the car to go into "failsafe" mode. This is the second time this had happened in 10 months. Engine · reported at 43,000 miles
