NHTSA Complaint #11098381 — 2011 INFINITI QX56

THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON, AND I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO HOLMON INFINITI IN MAPLESHADE, NJ WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A BANK 2 CATALYTIC CONVERTOR FAILURE. I HAD IT REPLACED AT A COST OF $2,661.79 ON THURSDAY MARCH 29, 2018. ON SATURDAY MARCH 31, 2018, THE BANK 1 CATALYTIC CONVERTOR FAILED. INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS PROVIDED SOME ASSISTANCE WITH THE SECOND REPAIR. THEY PAID FOR THE PARTS AND I PAID THE LABOR OF $1,385.63. INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE PARTS FOR THE FIRST REPAIR BECAUSE "I ALREADY PAID FOR IT". HAD I KNOWN ABOUT THIS APPARENTLY COMMON PROBLEM, I WOULD NOT HAVE PAID FOR THE FIRST ONE WITHOUT CONTACTING THEM FIRST. IT APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE IF THEY WERE WILLING TO GIVE ME ANY ASSISTANCE AT ALL, AND I WOULD THINK THAT WOULD BE EXTENDED TO REPAIRS ALREADY PAID FOR BY THE CONSUMER.
