Owner-reported complaints naming the electrical system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Electrical reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Sunroof drain has malfunctioned multiple times, even after having the Infiniti dealer replace with brand new ones. This was a very expensive repair and has already failed again. Upon searching the internet, this is a known, common problem and Infiniti should have recalled this issue. Water has leaked into my car onto my electronics. Luckily, nothing major has occurred while I was driving like it has for other owners of this same vehicle, but my power functions are malfunctioning because of this flawed component. The vehicle has been inspected and repaired by an Infiniti dealer, who also told me that this is a very common issue with this vehicle and sometimes causes the car to shut off while it is being driven. There are no warnings for this issue - just a bunch of water leaking straight into the car and underneath the floorboard, where many electrical components are housed.

I have an electrical dash board that controls my speedometer, gas milage and all the major checks lights that is NOT WORKING. This is the second time I have had this problem and when you research the problem on the internet or YouTube, the infinity owners are saying its a major problem with the car and the computer system. Why hasn't infinity recalled this problem?

DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW REJECTS AUTOMATIC ROLL-UP. WHEN USING THE ONE TOUCH AUTO ROLL-UP FUNCTION, THE WINDOW ROLLS-UP, BUT COMES BACK DOWN ON IT'S OWN (BACK TO HALF-WAY DOWN) ONCE IT REACHES THE TOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED A LOT PRIOR TO PAYING FOR AN INFINITI DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE WINDOW MOTOR AND NOW HAPPENS PERIODICALLY (4-6 TIMES PER MONTH) AFTER THE MOTOR WAS REPLACED. DATE OF SERVICE 1/2/18 #ESC WINDOW MOTER - 4170 CEXT - 1 80731-JL00A MOTOR ASSY - REGULATOR, LH$395 NOTES FORM MECHANIC: "FOUND DRIVERS WINDO MOTER WEAK SO WINDO WILL NOT STAY TIMED. REPLACED MOTER AND RE TIMED WINDOW". PERFORMED BY AUSTIN INFINITI (INVOICE # 97034). THIS WOULD OCCUR DURING DRIVING, WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND ALSO ONLY WHEN ACCESSORIES WERE ON (ENGINE NOT ON). ANYTIME PRIOR TO FIX. NOW IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN RANDOMLY/PEIODICALLY DUE TO UNKNOWN REASON.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
