My complaint is with the 2001 infiniti qx4 that I have owned for several years although it has low mileage 60,000 + it has cost me more money in repairs including the current recall for under body rust. I have gone through mufflers and other front end parts and my new mechanic even commented about the large amount of rust. I now have a grinding noise and it is probably wheel bearing hubs. A garaged car should not have these issues, this recall should extend to my exhaust which again needs replacing, and my grinding noise which I believe is related to the rust issue.
