We’ve taken the vehicle to two different Infiniti dealerships (Sewell and Crest) multiple times due to engine rattling, vibration noises, and propulsion issues. Unfortunately, we haven’t received any resolution or fix for these problems. We tried to upload a video with sound as reference but the platform doesn’t allow us to. We experienced similar issue that resulted in total engine failure on the highway with our children in the car in our Yukon Denali. We are fearful that something similar will occur. Please Help!!!

I purchase my vehicle [XXX], While driving it I noticed that my driver seat was moving when I drive and turn corner, go on a hwy on ramp, or turn in a driveway. The car is under the manufacturer warranty and I have been taking my car back and forth to the only Infiniti dealership here in Las Vegas. Every time I take it there they tell me they cannot duplicate it, but they have replaced my seat track 3 times, which 2 of what I was told was broken. I keep telling Infiniti that this is a safety issue for me and I don’t feel safe driving my car. They cannot tell me why the seat track keeps breaking and I don’t know what else to do. I took it the the dealership I bought the vehicle from and 2 people there were able to duplicate the problem with my seat.
