Infiniti
Qx30

I opened my sunroof cover and the back of my headliner dropped. The back window is already small and the headliner hangs in front of it obstructing the view. It seems like everyone has this same issue or defect which is pretty pricey to repair.

I am submitting this complaint regarding a safety and quality concern with my 2017 Infiniti QX30. The interior headliner in the rear section of my vehicle has begun sagging significantly, which obstructs rear visibility and creates a potential driving hazard. Based on my research and discussions with service professionals, this issue appears to be a manufacturer defect rather than normal wear. I have also learned that the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250—which shares a platform with the Infiniti QX30—experienced the same headliner sagging issue. In fact, this problem was considered a safety concern due to restricted rear visibility. Despite this being a known issue on a mechanically and structurally similar model, I was informed that my Infiniti dealer does not currently have a recall or coverage directive for this defect. As a consumer, I believe this issue should fall under manufacturer responsibility, as it affects visibility, vehicle safety, and structural integrity of the interior components. I respectfully request that NHTSA review this complaint as it relates to both driver safety and potential widespread defect concerns across this model. I also urge NHTSA to investigate whether Infiniti should extend the same consideration and remedy as Mercedes-Benz provided to GLA 250 owners for the same issue. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

The contact owned a 2017 Infiniti QX30. The contact stated that, while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed on a highway, another vehicle suddenly merged into her lane. The driver was unable to react and collided with the rear of the vehicle. As a result, the vehicle swerved out of the lane towards the right shoulder, coming to a complete stop on the side of the roadway. The air bags did not deploy. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a storage facility and deemed a total loss by the contact's insurance provider. A police report was filed, and injuries were reported. The contact's wife was transported to an area hospital by EMT and treated for a fractured sternum and a large contusion on her forehead as a result of her hitting the windshield. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.

The contact owns a 2017 Infiniti QX30. The contact stated the vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V419000 (Steering) for the lower steering shaft and was repaired under recall. After the recall repair, the steering wheel occasionally seized intermittently, the horn failed to operate, and the buttons on the steering wheel were inoperable. Additionally, the mileage, tire pressure, and other functions on the instrument panel were inoperable. The vehicle was returned to the dealer to be diagnosed, and it was determined that the steering column needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The driver’s side heater does not function correctly. When heat is turned on, the passenger side warms but the driver’s side only blows cold air. This prevents the windshield on the driver’s side from properly defrosting/defogging in cold or wet conditions, which creates a serious visibility hazard. Additionally, none of the steering wheel controls function due to a diagnosed clock spring failure. This failure also affects the horn and may impact the driver’s airbag connection. A non-functioning horn prevents warning other drivers/pedestrians, and loss of airbag function creates a major crash safety risk. The vehicle was inspected at an Infiniti dealership, and the problems were confirmed. The issues appeared shortly after purchase and have been consistent since. Safety risk: – Reduced visibility due to inability to defrost/defog the driver’s side of the windshield. – Loss of horn function. – Potential failure of driver’s airbag deployment due to faulty clock spring.

The contact owns a 2017 Infiniti QX30. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the clock spring module had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 107,892.

Instrument panel showed "Front Left Malfunction Service Required ". I believe it says bad grounding circuit due to rust accumulation.

There is a vibration and traction issue when driving less than 25 miles per hour and when making turns. There is also concern with the radio/camera. The camera is.distorted at times and warning coolant light illuminates yet the fluids are topped abd tye sensor eas replaced
