Sunroof drain tube leaks water down passenger side A-pillar onto body control module above glovebox causing damage to system, electrical connections, air bag, engine light to activate, vehicle going into limp mode. Drain is functioning and not stopped up. Dealer unable to correct long term using OEM parts available for replacement. Vehicle and invoices available for inspection. When leaking, water runs down A-pillar, onto computer module above glove box, and into passenger foot well.
NHTSA complaint #11684582 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
The sunroof’s drain ports clogging up is a known common issue to Infiniti dealers, as I have learned while taking my car in after the entire dashboard & electronics shorted out. The mechanic told me this is a common occurrence during the rainy season. Water may intrude the body through the clogged ports and the first location the water goes, happens to be the lower passenger side which ALSO happens to be the location of the body control module (BCM). The car has stopped operating on me in the middle of driving, and also wouldn’t allow me to get out of the gear I was in. What could be a $50 - $150 repair turns into a $2500 - $2800 repair.

Sunroof faulty. I've had car less than 3 years. I work from home and keep car under a carport. After a downpour of rain when I was out of town the interior front sides and floor were soaked. I wash the car myself with hose because drive thru washes will have water come in thru side of front n back sides of the interior. Whe n I got the car th flooring was already lifted on driver n passenger front sides. The previous owner kept car garaged but apparentlythe car had sunroof drain issuesbeforei ownedit. . Thanks

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.
NHTSA complaint #11560521 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
The firewall drain grommets for the sunroof drain line have needed to be replaced three times over the past 5 years. This is a well known design defect. Many Infiniti owners have complained about rain water ruining the interior foot wells on both the driver and front passenger areas AND causing damage to electronics inside the car. The design flaw issue is very expensive to repair, and to add insult to injury, the costly repair does NOT last for more than a couple of years. These vehicles should have a recall issued, which is the only real way to get the Infiniti car manufacturer's attention. Otherwise, vehicles will continue to be sold with this known defect. Damaged electronics are dangerous because they are known fire and safety hazards. Infiniti needs to be held accountable.

Passenger Side Air Bag sensor flashes possibility due to faulty sensor in passenger seat. Water enters cabin on passenger side causing water to pool on floorboards, possibly causing electrical damage and failure. Water entering could be due to flawed design in water channel or sunroof.
NHTSA complaint #11527866 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
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.

The contact owns a 2010 Infiniti G37. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the airbag warning light illuminated. The contact later noticed that there was a crack in the dashboard. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that they could repair the dashboard but not the airbags. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA to file a complaint. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
NHTSA complaint #11438410 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
INFINIT HAS ISSUES WITH THEIR CONVERTIBLE TOP MECHANISM. THEY RUN A METAL TO PLASTIC GEAR THAT STRIPS AND FAILS. THIS CAUSES THE TOP TO SOMETIMES STOP MID CYCLE AND THROW AN ERROR CODE. THEN THE OWNER IS UNABLE TO SECURE THE TOP. I HAD TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER WITH THE TOP IN MID POSITION, NOT SAFE. FRANKLY NOR IS IT TO SAFE TO TOW IN THAT POSITION. IN MY CASE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE THAT ONCE. IF ONE GOOGLES "INFINITI CONVERTIBLE FLAP FAILURE" YOU WILL SEE IM NOT THE ONLY ONE. INFINITI HASN'T REWORKED THE PARTS (CAR WAS CANCELLED) OR COVERED THE REPAIRS WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART. BETTER YET THESE REPAIRS ARE 2K PER OCCURRENCE TO RESOLVE. AND IN MY CASE FAIL EVERY OTHER YEAR.
NHTSA complaint #11399104 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FOG LIGHTS HAVE WHAT APPEAR TO BE BURN MARKS ON THE INSIDE OF THE LENS. THIS PROBLEM APPEARED WHEN STUCK IN TRAFFIC AFTER ABOUT 1 HOUR. NEXT, THE DASHBOARD SEEMS TO HAVE ACTUALLY MELTED AND BECOME EXTREMELY STICKY AND HAS ALSO STARTED TO CRACK. FINALLY, WHENEVER IT RAINS, WATER LEAKS INTO THE CABIN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I LOOKED AT WHAT I COULD AND THE SUNROOF DRAIN HOSE APPEARS TO BE INTACT AS FAR DOWN AS I COULD TRACK IT. THE LAST TWO ISSUES ARE A MAJOR PROBLEM ESPECIALLY SINCE WE LIVE IN FLORIDA.
NHTSA complaint #11399052 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
DASHBOARD MATERIAL APPEARS AS IF IT IS MELTING, OOZING OUT VERY STICKY UNKNOWN SUBSTANCE (TOXIC?) THAT CREATES VERY SHINY SURFACE. FOR A CAR OF ITS AGE, STILL HAS THAT NEW SMELL AS IF FROM OUT GASSING. THE SHINY SURFACE REFLECTS LIGHT TO THE WINDSHIELD OBSCURING A CLEAR VIEW THROUGH IT, BLOCKING ABILITY TO SEE OBJECTS, ESPECIALLY UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF LIGHT SOURCE AND BACKGROUND. THERE HAVE BEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BY MANY. THERE IS SETTLED CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR NISSAN'S ALTIMA MODEL, APPLICABLE ONLY IN FLORIDA. BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT UNIQUE TO THIS MODEL OR LOCATION. IT IS HOT AND HUMID ALSO HERE IN THE DALLAS AREA. APPEARS NOT JUST RESULT OF SENSITIVITY TO UV, BUT HEAT AND HUMIDITY. THIS VEHICLE SPENDS MOST ALL ITS TIME IN A GARAGE ENVIRONMENT (NO HVAC) WITH FEW MILES. OTHERS HAVE ALSO MADE THIS POINT. THE STAGE IT IS IN NOW IS THAT IT REABSORBS THE STICKY MATERIAL AS TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW ABOUT 88DEG F. THEREFORE I CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE PICTURE. HOPE I WILL HAVE ABILITY TO ADD TO THIS REPORT LATER WITH A PICTURE. I REALIZE DEGRADATION WILL CONTINUE AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES, SO CURRENTLY I AM TRYING TO KEEP GARAGE COOLER BY VENTILATING TO AVOID CONDITION FROM RETURNING. DEALERSHIP AVOIDS COMPLAINT BY SAYING WILL RETURN CALL, BUT NEVER DOES.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THIS CREATES ASHINE THAT CAUSES A REFLECTION OFF THE WINDSHIELD THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE DURING CERTAIN DAYLIGHT CONDITIONS. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE MADE WITH SUCH A DEFECT. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO STOP THIS MELTING FROM HAPPENING & FROM DOING INTERNET RESEARCH IT APPEAR MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THEIR INFINITI'S. THE DASHBOARD IS ALL STICKY, AND ANYTHING PUT ON IT GETS STUCK LIKE AN ADHESIVE GLUE IS ON IT. I WOULD LIKE INFINITI TO REPLACE MY DASHBOARD WITH A LKQ DASHBOARD AS A RECALL.
NHTSA complaint #11321282 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I HAVE A 2009 INFINITI G37 WITH THE DASHBOARD ALL CRACKED. THIS WAS A PROBLEM AS WELL IN MY 2006 INFINITI M35. WHEN MY PREVIOUS INFINITI HAD THE WHOLE DASHBOARD CRACKED IT WAS A RECALL AND I TOOK IT TO INFINITI AND HAD IT REPLACED. I THOUGHT THE SAME WOULD HAPPEN FOR THIS ONE SINCE IT'S THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM BUT I FIND THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS MODEL. I BELIEVE IT HAD TO DO SOMETHING WITH THE AIR BAGS CAUSING THE CRACKING ON THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED IN ALL INFINITI CARS AS THIS IS THEIR ISSUE.

2008 G37 DASH IS CRACKING ALONG THE EDGES. MANY OTHER G37 FROM 2008 TO 2010 ARE HAVING THIS ISSUES. ITS A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED LONG AGO. PEOPLE PAY GOOD MONEY FOR THESE CARS. DASH BOARD CARACKING IS A SIGN OF CHEAP MATERIAL USED.
NHTSA complaint #11234587 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD OF MY INFINITI G37, WITH ONLY 25K MILES, HAS STARTED SPLITTING APART FROM EVERY INCH OF THE DASH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE TO THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AND MANY OF THE AREAS ARE NEVER EXPOSED TO THE SUN. EVERY DAY NEW RIPS HAVE APPEARED AND MY FEAR IS THAT THE AIRBAG WILL BREAK THROUGH AND DEPLOY WITHOUT CAUSE WHICH COULD HAVE A CATASTROPHIC OUTCOME. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE SINCE THIS ISSUE HAS PROGRESSED SO RAPIDLY. AFTER CALLS TO INFINITI TO REPORT THE ISSUE, THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO ASSIST IN CORRECTING THIS MAJOR FAILURE. THE ONLY SOLUTION THEY HAVE PROVIDED IS TO SELL US A NEW CAR.

MY CAR IS TEN YEARS OLD, FROM OHIO, SHOULD MY FRAME BE RUSTED OUT UNDERNEATH TO THE POINT THAT MY REAR LEFT TIRE COMPONENT IS ABOUT TO SEPARATE FROM THE FRAME? EVERY SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD MAKES A NOISE LIKE A HAMMER HITTING METAL AND IT HAS WORN OUT THE LEFT REAR SHOCK. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS IRREPLACEABLE
