In owners' own words
I went to Bill Dodge Infinity to test drive vehicles and to trade my Infinity QX50 in. KBB listed it as $38,000 as a trade in. I was told because of the âSTOP TRADEâ due to the engine recall they could only offer $12,500. Because of the recall. They couldnât give me an idea if and or when it would be fixed. So I loose $25,500 in value on an payed off vehicle that I bought in good faith. Whatâs my recourse? Engine
The issue on the 2019 Infiniti QX50 it's not the motor that they had the recall on it's the VCR actuator it goes bad causes the bracket that's connected to rub against the side of the engine block causes it to have metal shavings and the car to go in limp mode and can cause an accident it's a common issue just put one in and already bad not even a year The original one made it to $47,000 mi before going bad Engine
Engine seized on road due to bearing debris (confirmed by dealer photos), covered by recall 25V-437. Infiniti corporate denied repair, falsely citing âmaintenanceâ despite negligible sludge. No loaner provided for two weeks, stranding me. Laws Violated: 49 U.S.C. § 30120 (free recall remedy), 49 CFR § 573.6 (interim support during delays). Engine
