Warrant almost up
So I plan to take it in before it's up. I have both my side inside door handles peeling, my cluster gauge housing makes a buzzin noise and peeling, also somewhere by my wiper motor area it crackles when I do over bumps. Any people have any common problems I should look at that I could be missing

@OP the problems u mentioned are the most common ones but the crackling sound from windshield is the plastic cowl rubbing against the windshield and can only be heard under certain temps and conditions so might be hard to 'replicate' at the dealers, if they cant fix it then adding a thin piece of non absorbent foam/felt pad between the cowl and windshield should help if you have the same issue as mine

when youre standing outside looking at your windshield, its the lower black plastic cowl/cover around the wipers that is in contact with the lowest part of the windshield. Hope this makes sense.

yea so far they said they would take care of the door handles, but steering wheel isnt peeling so they said no. They said they would try to confirm the window crackling but they are trying to tell me its normal. I said my 2 hondas, 2 Mercedes, and my BMW doesnt do it? lol so they said they will check. Also they are going to check on the cluster that peels and also my paddle shifters seem to wiggle one side more than the other.

how much does it cost? the cost of spending on extending warranty isnt worth IMO. Engine and transmission usually wont just blow up if you take care of it. But as far as bumper to bumper things, interior parts I technically can live with it.
on the other hand I run my own automotive shop as well so alot of things I can have done at my own shop and parts will be way cheaper for me.

So they are denying my rattling noises exists and Infiniti is sending out there own inspector to see if my cluster or paddle shifter should be replaced. Its pathetic that Infiniti has to stoop to this level when it is still under warranty. So in a few weeks Ill redrop it off and they will recheck it to verify if the dealer is wrong or if I am wrong.
All I know is that I will never buy another Infiniti after this
