What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2014 INFINITI QX70, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

From owner reports, verbatim
THERE IS A RAIN-DETECTING AUTO WIPER FUNCTION SETTING WITH THIS CAR. WHEN USING THE AUTO SETTING, THE WIPERS WILL FIRE RANDOMLY WHEN THERE IS NO MOISTURE WHATSOEVER. THIS CAN HAPPEN IN HOT OR COLD WEATHER AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CAR IS MOVING OR STATIONARY. WHILE I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES TO INFINITI, THEY HAVE NOT ADDRESSED THE ISSUE.
