In reference to the recall R2582 and NHTSA recall 25V-437. I had made an appointment for an engine inspection for my 2022 Infiniti QX50 for August 15, 2025. I delivered my vehicle to the dealership at 7:00 am and was called by the dealership at 8:13 am and was told that they were told by Infiniti not to inspect my vehicle. They asked me to come and get it. They noted on the invoice that the recall was suspended by Infiniti on August 7,2025. No work was performed. The public notice of the suspension was for August 18, 2025.
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS Dec 18, 2024
Multiple electronic and sensor issues with the display screens and infotainment center. Time/time zone change from 12-hour format to military time off and on sometimes multiple times a day. Dash board routinely goes black and not displaying any information. HUD proximity alerts continually go off/flashing when no vehicles are around, tagging the same areas on a specific street that was empty. The sensor system engages the braking system after a faulty proximity alert or a vehicle is outside the normal range. Navigation system map blacking out Inability to disconnect Bluetooth calls using the steering wheel end button and the end button on the screen. The infotainment screen would not respond to menu button for the audio and climate control nor could you access it through the touchscreen menu. The radio would stop working randomly. I had to go to the dealership to get this corrected it would not restart on its own even if it was left overnight. The audio button also would not work. The car would not recognize the profile connected to the key fob routinely. After service, the car took over 8 minutes to lead the infotainment system. The blind spot warning would not function properly continuously. The car was taken into the dealership multiple times, it was assessed by "engineers" 3 times, and it had a total of 3 infotainment systems in this vehicle with 2 replacements since leasing the vehicle. These issues continue to remain and there seems to be nothing that Infiniti can or will do to fix these issues permanently.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER Feb 16, 2024
The car completely stalled while going uphill. It restarted a few minutes after. I received 3 email notifications from Infiniti stating that my engine may have an emission control system malfunction. I took the car into the Infiniti dealership. They stated that the vehicle test was driven for 24 miles. Could not duplicate customers concern and is not stalling when going up hills. Scanned for codes and found multiple past codes. Drove until moniters were set. Rechecked for codes and no codes were found. No further action required, working as factory intent and design. Called Infiniti consumer affairs who stated that they could do nothing else too detect what is wrong with the car.
ENGINE Jan 29, 2024
The contact owns a 2022 Infiniti QX50. The contact stated while driving from a complete stop, the engine made an abnormal knocking sound. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring intermittently while driving from a complete stop. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.
AIR BAGS Nov 26, 2023
As I was entering the freeway, the car was hit by an object which came flying at the vehicle from the adjacent lane. The impact of the object hitting the front bumper of the vehicle caused the hood "airbags" (pedestrian actuator system) to deploy. With the deployment of the hood airbag the hood opened from the back and would not close back up as force of the airbags broke the hinges on the hood. For three days I searched for someone who could fix the vehicle, but no one knew how to do it. Finally, an Infiniti certified collision shop took the vehicle in but advised me they also did not ever repair such issue and would have to receive on-phone training from Infiniti. I proceeded to call Infiniti and file a consumer's report. My car sat in the shop for 3 months as I was told the parts were not available for repairing the vehicle. Finally, the car was completed and returned to me Nov 20. There is a warning light inside vehicle that hood is open. Some of the car's inside lights are not working. The car's headlights are altered and only a very low amount of beam light is now flashing while driving at night. I have made several attempts in my 3 month ordeal to get an appropriate response from Infiniti (asking them why they put a device on a vehicle that no one knows how to work on), but to no avail. I do not feel safe in the vehicle and do not like being Infiniti's guinea pig for a device that no one knew how to work on, and which obviously might not have been repaired correctly judging by an inside light still being on that shows hood open.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Nov 10, 2023
A fire spontaneously ignited while the vehicle was turned off and parked in the owner's garage. The fire apparently started in the vehicle's infotainment system. The fire melted all electrical components of the infotainment system and spread throughout the vehicle to the driver and front passenger seats and the front console and dash of the car. Large amounts of soot and debris were deposited throughout the interior of the vehicle. Fortunately, no one was present in the vehicle during the explosion and fire. However, our family was inside the house attached to the garage where the vehicle explosion/fire took place. I immediately contacted the Fire Department when I discovered the fire, and they quickly disconnected the battery and moved the vehicle from the garage. The vehicle was towed to the INFINITI dealership on Burnet Road in Austin, TX where the vehicle is currently located. My insurance carrier, Progressive, inspected the vehicle and determined it to be a total loss. I contacted the INFINITI corporate investigations team in order to provide them an opportunity to inspect the vehicle and determine the cause of the incident. This representative shirked INFINITI's responsibility for the fire and stated it would take 7 to 9 weeks before an INFINITI representative would inspect the vehicle. I deeply want to learn the root cause of this incident to prevent it from happening again. I am angered and saddened by INFINITI's lack of responsibility or care for this grave danger. My insurance carrier will not pay for a rental car for another 7 to 9 weeks. INFINITI should be able to inspect this car imminently, yet refuses to do so. There were no prior warning signs of any risk of explosion/spontaneous combustion/fire. This risk was never presented to me when purchasing the vehicle. Had it been, I would not have purchased the vehicle. We hope the NHTSA can investigate this issue to prevent it from occurring again and hopefully hold INFINITI accountable
Fire
UNKNOWN OR OTHER Aug 8, 2023
While driving the car flashed a red light on the top of the instrument panel, then the car violently stopped in the middle of the road. There were cars behind me, thankfully far enough back they were able to stop and not hit me. The dealership could not find any codes to diagnose the problem. A regional engineer did look at the car and replaced what they think is the issue. No warnings or indications given until the incident occurred.
