Wow ...

This is surprising ... for a car in its last year of production ... for it to make the Top 10 of 2007 for recalled cars ... says a lot. Is there an explanation to this? I didn't find anything on a search ...
But ... it also makes me a little concerned. What's going to happen with the 2008 model?! Maybe I should wait a year to iron out all the bugs ...

Very, very stupid report when it lists number of cars effected by recalls instead of how many total recalls. It also does not designate between significant and insignificant recalls. I consider an optional recall like the headlight issue on the G coupes and FX to be rather minor compared to camshafts causing engine failure like in the new Toyota Tundra.

you got to be looking at it the right way.
How many out of domestic manufacturers have brake through technology in their vehicles.
Most of the **** that is recalled is just that.
Then. Infinitis major recall was the headlights. And the reason for that was that DOT thoughts that they were too bright. So in order to eliminate all potential law suits against this Infiniti replaced the headlights.
Never look at this statistics without any research.
It's similar to those statistics about Nissan 350Z being the deadliest car. When there is no data at which speed the accidents took place.
So it's all BS.
