Seat belts: rear/other
- What is wrong
- The release button used in the rear seat belt buckles were not made according to specifications. In hot weather, the plastic welds securing the release button to the spring can fail resulting in partial engagement of the seat belt tongue in the buckle or not being able to latch the seat belt.
- Risk
- If a partial engagement occurs, this can cause the seat belt tongue to come out of the buckle in the event of a crash or hard braking of the vehicle.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace all rear seat belt buckles with new seat belt buckles.

What 1992 Infiniti G20 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Rear seatbelt does not buckle, fuel tank leaked gas where hose is attached to tank, transmission failed two times, was told from mechanic that pump holes are too small for oil to go through.
The accelerator cable of the infiniti g20 from the firewall to the carburetor consists of a braided steel cable in a soft rubber sheath. A hard plastic piece connecting the accelerator cable to the firewall interface failed, thus exposing the critcal braided steel accelertor cable to the sharp, hard edge of the broken hard plastic piece. Subsequently, three strands of the braided steel wite were cut as the accelerator was operated. At the time of the accident, the three frayed strands acted as fish hooks inside the soft rubber sheath and prevented return action of the accelerator as the gas pedal was released. The result was that the accelerator jammbed in the fully open position as the g20 infiniti was being driven in heavy morning rush hour traffic on highway 580 near the castro valley exit. The driver was in lane 2 of 4 lanes with a double tandem gravel truck infront, and several other large trucks and cars in lanes 1 and 2. At that time of the morning, the slow lane, lane 1, the trucks usually travel 60 to 70 MPH. There were few options. Mrs. Hanafee was able to exit, slow the car sufficiently to just hit lightly another (heavier) car at a stop light. The chp officer confirmed the jammbed cable, as did dr. Hanafee after the cable was removed and on the bench. Dr. Hanafee has several decades experience in failure analysis as a material scientist, and I plan to send the federal safety agency a more detailed report.
When the switch was in any position, including off, the fan would continue to blow at only one speed. Dealer contacted and had vehicle for inspection, the problem is a fire hazard and problem still exists. Nothing done to remedy problem. Provide further information.
Transmission exploded, possibly due to improper oil flow.
Transmission problems. Inquires about safety bulletins.
The vehicle will hesitate or cut off for no apparent reason. Took vehicle to a mechanic was told that the tube in which the oil goes through was clogged up, and that the oil wasn't getting to the camshaft, and was causing the camshaft to breakdown.
The right rear seat belt will not latch, it will connect but will not latch, and the driver side seat belt tightens excessively at times.
