“On march 3, 2021, I was driving home at night when my headlights stopped working unexpectedly and suddenly. Some roads have no or inadequate street lights as well as no shoulder for pulling over which makes it at once impossible to stop driving and dangerous to continue driving. The local Infiniti dealership could provide no explanation for why the headlights stopped working.”
NHTSA complaint #11399167, filed 2021-03, 136,000 miles“Both headlights stopped working at the same time which is a safety issue! I did not have any low beam lights or highbeam lights on both headlights. Once the headlights went out I had no way to navigate the vehicle. The vehicle was in motion at night on a city street.”
NHTSA complaint #11402722, filed 2021-03, 69,000 miles“I have replaced the battery in my 2013 Infiniti JX35 3-4 times. Dealership continues to say this is normal. Recently, multiple exterior light bulbs have gone out and the 'instrument cluster' suddenly went dark while I was driving. I cannot see meters like gas, speed, etc. I cannot hear or see my blinker or headlight indicators. Additionally, all the power controls including speed control no longer work. I am concerned there is a significant electrical safety hazard. I no longer feel safe driving this car with my children. …”

I walked to that side and saw orange fire behind the fog light in the lower passenger bumper (inside where the bumper has a flat ledge). I ran in the house for a fire extinguisher and my husband and we tried to extinguish the fire several times, but it would re-ignite. When we realized we could not extinguish, we called 911 for the fire dept. …”
