“The speed at which the windshield wipers function is not safe. These speed is too slow and as a result does not clear the water off of the windshield. Visibility is poor as you cannot see thru the water that remains on windsheid. Unacceptable. I reported to infinity and took to dealership.

The sun shade for the panoramic roof has had a different design created from a flaw in the original design. The original part will cause the shade to rip & tear. Once the rip and tear are created, that causes the sun to shine down into your eyes at certain angles from the side of the shade. …”
