Consumer Description

WHILE IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY ON THE WAY TO OUR SUMMER VACATION, OUR BRAND NEW INFINITI QX80 STARTED SMOKING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THE AIR CONDITIONER WENT OUT. AFTER HAVING THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP (AND GETTING A TAXI TO TAKE US TO A RENTAL CAR PLACE) WE WERE TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE HAD COME FROM THE FACTORY WITH AN OIL COOLER WATER HOSE THAT WAS 2 INCHES LONGER THAN STANDARD, CAUSING THE HOSE TO RUB AGAINST THE COOLING FAN BLADE AND SEVERING IT CAUSING ALL COOLANT TO LEAK. INFINITI WILL NOT REIMBURSE US FOR RENTAL CAR COSTS, DESPITE THE CAUSE BEING FACTORY DEFECT. *TR
