Owner report 11576216 · 2024-03-08 (March 8, 2024)
Multiple incidents of car not starting or stalling in rain. 1. After a rainstorm while parked, noticed water on the driver side floor and dripping from the driver door side under dashboard, water coming from defective design of sunroof water drains/tubing which are clogged because the tube is too thin which traps common dirt and dust from rain and road water. A wider diameter tubing or requiring maintenance during oil change intervals (blowing air into the tubing to unblock the clog) would likely solve this defect and car owners money. Car wo…

Owner report 11591411 · 2024-05-29 (May 29, 2024)
While driving on the interstate, the sunroof exploded. There was no warning, no objects seen that could have hit it, good weather. The glass from the sunroof hit the car behind me and cracked their windshield. Thankfully our sun shade was closed so no shattered glass came into the car and no one was hurt.

Owner report 11595119 · 2024-06-18 (June 18, 2024)
A sensor, or trio of sensors, in the passenger side airbag system failed. Nissan/Infiniti says they cant be sure which of the three sensors is causing the problem and needs to replace all three. One of the sensors is integrated into the passenger seat itself and therefore the entire seat must be replaced. This all adds up to a very expensive repair cost of over $10,000 for sensors that are not accessible by the user, and therefore failed because of a manufacturer's defect, and not because of wear and tear, or anything caused by the user. Infi…

Owner report 11597846 · 2024-06-30 (June 30, 2024)
I was driving down the highway on [XXX] near Tucson, Arizona, when I heard a loud boom and my sunroof shattered. There were no cars in front of me, nor did I see anything in the road. It scared me but luckily I had my sunroof visor closed. I pulled off the freeway to check the damage, I had a shattered sunroof with scratches along the top of my vehicle from the flying glass. No call to police was made. I have not repaired sunroof and I am waiting back on insurance to get quote on replacement. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF IN…

Owner report 11615862 · 2024-09-22 (September 22, 2024)
The issue I have experienced involved my car stalling due to an inaccurate fuel gauge reading: basically, ran out of gas on a road while fuel gage was still showing half tank full. Luckily, was able to avoid any accident. The error code came up: P0462, which stands for “Fuel Level Sensor ‘A’ Circuit Low,” and indicates a problem with the fuel level sensor circuit. I was going to replace the fuel gauge/pump, but was told by a Nissan technical adviser at the dealership, the root cause is likely a faulty instrument cluster module, which is respons…
