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.

My sunroof exploded while driving. The sunroof is a panoramic sunroof and only the first section of the roof exploded. I was driving on the interstate on (I-55 South) headed to New Orleans when this happened. The glass exploded and came in the vehicle while we were driving. It was raining at the time as well and we got soak and wet from the rain entering the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealership on 4/17/2023. The service department at the dealership inspected the vehicle and stated it was considered roadway hazard (a rock hit the sunroof) and shattered the glass. I never received any warning lights, messages related to the sunroof. To my knowledge, it is unknown what caused the sunroof to explode.

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.

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.

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.

11/26/2023 ODI #11556831.0

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 n
