Chronological view of owner reports
My vehicle's windshield washer sensor has malfunctioned as it regularly flashes a warning light indicating low washer fluid regardless of the actual washer fluid reservoir level. The persistent warning light on the dash is a constant distraction to the driver. Furthermore, a driver may become ambivalent to the warning light if another system actually malfunctions (or in the case of the washer reservoir actually being low or empty) thus creating a real safety threat. Infiniti vehicle forums as well as my independent mechanic note this problem to be fairly widespread and, according to my mechanic, is also prevalent in certain Nissan models. I brought this matter to the attention of Infiniti's Customer Care team but no action was taken to remedy the situation nor does it seem any action will be forthcoming. While this may seem to be a relatively small issue, such small issues can still result in significant negative outcomes if not addressed. Given the regularity in which this issue occurs, the manufacturer should be responsible for repairing this defect.
My sunroof exploded when I was driving. No warning. Weather was perfect where I was. No other vehicles around me, I was completely alone on the highway.
THIS CAR SOME WITH AN INTERNAL REAR VIEW MIRROR THAT IS SUPPOSED TO AUTO DIM (NO FLIP LEVER) MIRROR DOES NOT AUTO DIM. LIGHTS OF CARS BEHIND ME ARE FULL STRENGTH WHEN VIEWED THROUGH THE MIRROR I HAVE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR THIS AND I HAVE WORKED WITH INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS IS HOW THE MIRROR WORKS. IT IS VERY UNSAFE I HAVE TO TILT THE MIRROR UP AT NIGHT AND AM UNABLE TO USE IT TO SEE ANYTHING BEHIND ME WHILE DRIVING.
