Owner report 10724003 · 2015-05-28 (May 28, 2015)

THE VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY EXHIBITS A SHUDDER (VIBRATION, TREMOR) WHEN (1) THE VEHICLE IS WARMED (DRIVEN AT LEAST 10 MILES FROM COLD START), (2) MOVING AT A SPEED ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, AND (3) THE THROTTLE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. USUALLY, BUT NOT CONSISTENTLY, THE SHUDDER IMMEDIATELY DISSIPATES WHEN PRESSURE TO THE THROTTLE PEDAL IS RELEASED OR WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS PUT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN INTO AND IN A RIGHT HAND CURVE, THE SHUDDER IS NOT PRESENT REGARDLESS OF ANY OR NO PRES…

Owner report 11764414 · 2026-09-15 (September 15, 2026)

I was driving down the highway and the revs went up really high with some banging and clanging, the check engine light came on and the gears stopped shifting. The dealer told me the transmission valve body failed and it seems to be a common issue in these cars. Not safe to drive as the gears wont shift and this seems to be a sensor in the transmission that is doomed to fail after a matter of time. Infiniti reengineered this part because they know it is going to fail but have not issued a recall.

Owner report 11417442 · 2021-05-17 (May 17, 2021)

I was backing out of the garage intending to stop on the driveway and inspect tires in the sunlight. The brakes had no effect and the car proceeded across the street and up the neighbor's driveway and finally stopped just short of their garage door. All this time I was applying the brake repeatedly with no result. Why it stopped just in time to save neighbor's door I don't know. I was too panicked to think of using the parking brake until later. A similar incident had occurred about a year ago in a restaurant drive-through. At that time I …

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 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…

Brake fluid began leaking onto the ABS actuator circuit board and created an electrical fire. This melted the engine harness and the connector to the abs module. This was confirmed by dealership technicians at Sewell Infiniti - Dallas. Dealership informed me they could not fix the vehicle because the part needed to replace (affected by a different recall), was discontinued and made me tow the vehicle to my house. The issue was confirmed by mechanics at Parkwood collision - Frisco. InfinitiUSA customer service acknowledged the issue and that t…

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.

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
