“I was driving straight down water st, upper marlboro, md on my way to work and the rear overhead console (console assy-roof) just fell on my shoulder and back seats. I've attached images showing the unit breaking apart from the screws and after research I see that this has been an ongoing issue with Infiniti and nissan vehicles alike.”
NHTSA complaint #10888052, filed 2016-07, 30,185 miles“The rear overhead console fell while driving. Apparently it was due to the heat on the roof that melted the 6 clips inside that holds it to the ceiling, I'm confident this has to be a manufacturer defect and needs be corrected before someone dies. If my two small children were in the vehicle it could have easily killed one if not both. Flimsy plastic brackets that can easily melt, should not be used in a vehicle like this. Currently, the only thing holding it up is the main power cable. This should be a recall since there are thousands of infinity and nissan armada's with the same exact issue. …”
