STRUCTURE:BODY
Driving at highway at about 65 mph last night with almost no cars around us when we (wife and I) heard loud bang above us almost like an explosion. I pulled over safely and found out the sunroof is completely shattered out of the blue. There was no cars or trucks around us and no debris. It just exploded. We were not harmed since the shade was pulled and prevented glass from falling into the inside of the car. Very scary experience

Once at the dealer, the vehicle was diagnosed with transmission failure and the contact was given an estimate for the repair.

I took it in for recall R21B4 to be reprogrammed and problem fixed. The problem still persist as I’m driving the vehicle loses all driving power which is dangerous while it has happened to me while driving on the express way. Infiniti is telling me i need to bring it back in to have my vehicle checked out and wants to charge me 186$ when the recall clearly states that the problem is the recall

ENGINE
A few years ago, while in stop and start traffic on a hill, i experienced the hybrid engine and regular engine failure multiple times. Infiniti replaced my transmission. I have yet to recreate the same stop/start situation on a hill but have smelled the same smell of burning while in stop start traffic on a highway. Now infiniti has issues a recall for this very issue. I'm wondering what constitutes a "reasonable time" for infiniti to provide a solution as this is going on 6 months. I'm very concerned that my car is particularly vulnerable to this failure as it has occurred before. Yes, there was a warning that the hybrid system was overheating and then it died not much longer after the warning.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Arrived home, turned off engine while walking away from the car noticed the right front head light was off. after trying a few times to assess the problem, on 1/17/2022 took the car to the service department at South Motor Infiniti dealer (where car is always taken for maintenance). A few hours later, after they did a diagnostic report ($217.00) the Service Rep called us to get authorization to repair, the "BALLAST is fried must replace headlight", (cost $2,541.00 + tax) and recommended to repair the left front head light because it was very likely to fail also, another $2,541.00, we declined to do the work, simply cannot understand how can a light bulb may cost so much, is this logical? or maybe the original part was defective to begin with? Today I called Infiniti Consumer Affairs and they suggested to file a complain with your department, nothing they can do. My car was purchased brand new, Sept 2014, always properly maintained by the dealer, no accidents and driven less than 54,000 miles. I will appreciate if you can help me, any suggestions? Thank you very much,

CVT have been told by one Infiniti Dealership the the fluids never need to be flushed, changed or filled. Then I hear about the Transfer Differential which I am assuming is the Transfer Case is leaking and that it would need to be replaced entirely along with the rear coupling costing nearly $10K in repair (Estimated $8,500 alone on these two items). I have found online people and even other Infiniti dealerships where these fluids are flushed and refilled regularly of which in discussing with the dealership these findings, they advised they never have to be flushed, but it is recommended through forums and other dealerships of such. In finding more about the history of my car, I have found that it has NEVER had a flush of the Transfer Differential or CVT or other factors of changing fluids. I advised I recently had a burning smell along with grinding. They only say I need to completely change that out. If I have a leak, then that should have been the first directive in fixing the seal (since this is a sealed compartment). I have 3 times where the power wasn't going to the transmission where I almost got into accidents. Thankfully, the other driver's were able to merge or brake as these were primarily city streets. I found a video where a gentleman had the same issue, the CVT was replaced, and the issue only got worse. How is this allowed or possible?

A few weeks ago our car was driving with a clunking noise, we took it to the shop and the transfer case was found to have metal shavings in the fluid. Our car only has approximately 81,000 miles on it. Our car was at the Infiniti dealership and they diagnosed the transfer case is going bad as well as the transmission. The car’s transmission has a known history of failure to this make and model and therefore it was still under warranty. This was the fourth time the transmission has been replaced! The technician told me about the transfer case, that it was not abnormal for it to go bad on this make and model of car as well. Please look into others with this car and it has there been similar reports, the repair was near $6000. I just paid and brought the car home today.

Turned out it's a bad transmission issue. Nissan/Infiniti will not cover this under warranty, although, it's a known customer experience and concern. I have had to spend too much time/money to take care of this...wish we had NEVER bought this vehicle as it's now become a huge safety-related issue. The vehicle cannot move when you press the gas, it shudders, slips due to the transmission. You just don't have as much control as you would with a typical passenger vehicle FWD or AWD.

Transfer case failed. Car does not accelerate properly. Loses acceleration with speed. Confirmed by dealership but have not been reproduced. Transmission was previously. No warnings of the problem. Vehicle was driving fine. No fluid leaks or concerns. Just wheezing noise that was thought to be rotors or brakes. Upon taking it to the dealership because replacement warranty was still effective was informed that transfer case failed at 46000 miles. No warning signs of issue occurring, but wheezing from vehicle.
