Who's Had Their Steering Wheel Replaced Due To Trim Peeling/Chipping?
#151
However Infiniti Canada once again told me that the extended warranty IPP plan is essentially an extension of the factory warranty. At this point I'm debating if I want to raise some hell up the ladder through to corporate to get this crap sorted out. I would've shopped for one that still had the non extended factory warranty if they had not promised me that it would be covered.

FWIW, I disassembled mine (easy) then removed the factory rubberized coating and resprayed that part with Duplicolor "bumper spray" in about 6-8 light "mist" coats. I'll snap a picture today, but it looks just like OE, but is much more durable.
My dealer pretty much laughed when I asked about replacement of the wheel plastic and the door pulls. They all look like brand new now.

That varies by dealer, some will as a goodwill repair, and some won't. I had no problems and I was out of warranty. I did have extended warranty but it doesn't cover trim pieces so it was more of a goodwill repair.

In my 2 months of Infinity ownership i have noticed a few sad things...
Quality of parts vs cost of overall vehicle is CRAP!
Interior- Looks great!..AT FIRST...but after 49K miles....the driver seat bolster is starting to crack, the dash is starting to peel around the top of the speedo,where the dash meets the center console on pass side is peeling as well, steering wheel and door handles peel. Also, when i say the dash peels, i mean its coming unglued, the weather stripping is starting to fail and wind noise is starting to be heard from the driver door. The stripping is also starting to come apart from the door and i had to re-insert it once already. The automatic windows work when they want to. Once in a while the front driver and rear pass. dont work on auto. Seat memory buttons stopped working as well.
The leather coming over the leg adjuster keeps coming apart from the bottom of the seat, luckily it looks like it just clips back in place. If using a automatic car wash, water drips through the sunroof..TYPICAL OF NISSAN CARS EQUIPPED WITH SUNROOFS!
Exterior wise- The paint on front and rear bumpers is starting to crack.
Thats about all I can think of off the top of my head. Its kind of pathetic for this to be happening to such nice cars. I still love the car none the same. At least my engine is still under warranty..then again, its the only thing that seems to be great.
