What the complaint data suggests

Editorial interpretation of NHTSA public complaint data. Source: nhtsa.gov. Complaints are owner-submitted and do not confirm a defect. Methodology

Based on 12 NHTSA complaints for the 2012 INFINITI G25, the data suggests potential issues with airbag malfunctions and electrical faults. However, with only one model year analyzed and low confidence, these patterns should be interpreted cautiously.

Key Findings

  • Electrical Faults are the second most reported issue.
  • No crash-related complaints were reported.
Top Concerns
