Hi,
 
You are correct, it is vey subjective. However, after reading several posts about dealers in new jersey, experiencing it firsthand. I conclude there is a problem with Inifiniti vs. other luxury brands......
 
examples:
 
1. nyc dealer tried to charge me for parts they did not replace. I complained to customer service, they did a piss poor investigation and believed the dealer's lies. i had to fax them the first incorrect invoice three times, before they understood what the dealer tried to do, and that the dealer lied.
 
2. there is a problem with the air intake (my guess, i'm not sure). what happens is that i get a burning smell in my car anytime i turn on the heat. at one point the heater blew cold air for a few minutes after blowing luke-warm air. i took it to the original dealer i bought it from in new jersey. they said it was the smell of new breaks...INCORRECT. I took it there when the smell was strongest and they still can't get it diagnosed. I can't get a reputable auto mechanic to look at it, because they are concerned they won't get paid, because the car is under the manufacturer's warranty.
 
3. when they "wash" the car at the dealer, in new jersey, they simply use a wet rag over the perimeter of the car. my car looks worse. i always have to wash it again, myself. AND I've ended up with swirl marks from their "washing".
 
4. The white plains dealer and the new jersey dealers never have the accessories i want in stock (car cover, touch up paint).
 
5. The dealer in new jersey continually changes the address associated with my name. this happened four times. I always have them change it back. I've complained to Infiniti about this, to no avail. I guess they find this to be minor. I think something strange is going on.
 
6. I've asked Infiniti to send a manual to me twice. The first time, I got a response from Nissan and after finally getting someone from the Infiniti division, I still didn't get the requested manual. That was a year ago. I asked again three months ago. Still no manual.
 
7. You cannot get touch up paint from anywhere except an infiniti dealer. And of course they want a baby fortune for it OR to refer me to one of their "partners" who does body work.
 
8. I had to replace my air filter after 3k miles.
 
I know dealers peruse these webpages and post as well. I've read some pretty serious complaints on these strings over the past two years. I'm certain there's more, but they just haven't gotten out yet. I would love to see the buying public fight back. Enough is enough...
 
Lots of little things, but little things that I never experienced with Lexus. Nor have my family experienced with BMW (of course they charge a fortune) or Cadillac.

See my travails with Tustin Infiniti at Edmunds.com Dealer Review. That should answer your question.

Lousy service is not limited to New York/New Jersey. Read my horror story at Edmunds.com Dealer Reviews for Tustin Infiniti.

What is difficult to understand is why with so many customers unhappy with customer service both at the dealer and with the corporate office, there isn't a
class action lawsuit against them.
 
It is reprehensible that an almost $40k car would have so many electrical, mechanical, break and other various problems and they choose to continue such poor service/maintenance for these vehicles.
 
I would join any class action suit started by a lawyer who is interested in holding Nissan responsible for these various debacles.
 
Maybe we customers should do fundraising and begin a marketing campaign to let people know what they are in store for if they buy infiniti. I should have bought an Acura.

I completely agree that Infiniti sucks! Not only the customer service of their dealers, but the build of quality as well of a 40K+ car. I bought this 08 G35x for my girl because it had all the goodies like nav and such plus all wheel drive, plus she just liked it. Stupid me! I have a BMW and couldnt be more happy with it. The car has had many mechanical and electrical issues that the dealer refuses to accept as abnormal. As a former mechanic for many years and still a weekend warrior, I think I would know if a car is having a problem....especially when my girl, who knows nothing about cars is the one to bring it to my attention! So now, we are stuck with a car that has more problems than a 92 saturn with 200K and the dealer refuses to do anything about it. Not only that, but they refuse to take or return my calls.

G35 stranded by johninnj

My 07 tossed it's serpentine belt (Failed tensioner) at 19K miles. Belt got grabbed by the crank pully and tore out a seal...rendering it pretty much undriveable...even on battery power. Infiniti customer service nicely informed me that, though I was 30 miles from home, the best they could do for me was supply me with #s for local cab companies while they took the car to a holding site to be taken to the dealer in the morning. Wound up using my friend's AAA, who was glad to bring ME home with my car. NOT HAPPY...to say the least. Acura's customer service, by comparison, is TOP NOTCH !!
