2013 G37 with only 58K in miles. The passenger interior was flooded after some rainstorms. The dealer has provided me an estimate of $3,000 to repair the sunroof drain and the water damage to the body control module (BCM). Infiniti Consumer Affairs has been zero help. They just gave me the run around. There are tons of videos and posts regarding the defect with the sunroof drain.

Sunroof drain failure causing rain water from the outside of the vehicle to enter the interior flooding the passenger side going from the front seats to the back seats. Due to the sunroof drain defect, the flooding of the interior causes the water to get into the body control module impacting the electronics which can result in numerous failures in the vehicle making it dangerous to drive. There are numerous videos on YouTube and posts on online forums describing this very issue which is extremely common with the G37. Infiniti dealer confirms the issue, but takes absolutely no responsibility. The cost of the repairs to the sunroof drain and body control module are completely placed on the consumer.

MY DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT OPEN WITH EITHER THE REMOTE OR THE KEY AT TIMES, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT GETS COLD. OTHER TIMES IF I GET IN, THE DOOR MECHANISM WILL NOT LATCH. AGAIN, THE REMOTE DOES NOT FIX THIS SO I TRIED THE LOCK BUTTON ON THE ARM REST. THAT WORKED BUT THEN I COULD NOT GET OUT. NOT SAFE IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, FLOOD, OR ACCIDENT OF ANY KIND. I HAVE HAD TO CLIMB OVER MY CONSOLE AND I DO NOT THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO WITH A CAR THE CALIBER OF AN INFINITY. NO OTHER CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM.

I ALSO OWNED A G35 2008 INFINITI WITH THE SAME PROBLEM..THE DOORS LOCK AND I CAN NOT GET IN OR OUT. THE LOCK ACTUATORS FAIL. THE DOORS CAN NOT BE OPENED MECHANICALLY OR ELECTRICALLY. THE DOORS WERE LOCKED WHEN I WENT IN THE GYM FOR 1/2 HOUR AND WHEN I CAME OUT I COULD NOT ENTER THE CAR THE DOORS WERE LOCED AND WOULD NOT OPEN. AFTER A WHILE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE BACK SEAT DOOR OPEN. I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND WAS UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR . ALL DOORS LOCKED. THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH THE WINDOW. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN,
