Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles.

The battery in my vehicle continuously dies, leaving me stranded on multiple occasions. This has been occurring since 2024 consistently. In January I had it towed to the dealership since every time I jump the battery, it charges it which in turn causes it to pass their battery test. Since I had it towed while the battery was dead they told me that the battery test failed so I purchased a new battery directly from Infiniti expecting reliability and quality. I started having issues again with my SUV not starting due to a dead battery in July or August 2025. The issue persists, and I have since learned that the 2019 QX80 model is known to have charging system problems that cause premature battery failure. I have to jump my vehicle about 3-5 times a week. Despite bringing this issue to Infiniti’s attention, I have received no meaningful assistance or resolution. This is not only inconvenient but also a serious safety concern. I rely on my vehicle daily, and repeatedly being stranded due

Ongoing failure to start, multiple battery replacements in less than 2 years. Purchased a warranty and of course the vehicle will not replicate its failure to start when it is at the dealership for the warranty claims adjustor to review. Car has had to be towed to the dealership with no resolution even after being there multiple times. Dashlights have gone dim - issues with multiple lights coming on. Dash on order - been waiting months now with no update on when the new dash will arrive. Multiple TSB's have been issued regarding the issues mentioned - TSB ITB19-034b TSB MC-10239504 with no resolution. Infiniti is aware of these issues and has only offered to bypass "jump out" or bypass of the IPDM (Intelligent Power Distribution Module), noting that this action would void my warranty related to that specific issue. This is unacceptable. Infiniti serviced my vehicle in August and September no issues with the battery - but then it failed in October. A new battery had to be purchased i

Fuel gauge erratically and inaccurately showing different levels of fuel- sometimes full, empty or anywhere in between. Potential risk of running out of gas and not knowing. Recalls are listed for other vehicle model years but not this one. No warning messages appear on dashboard. First noticed the problem Feb 2025 and continues to worsen. It has not been seen by a mechanic or dealership yet since first experiencing.

This car has the SAME issue as explained in NHTSA Bulletin ITB17-008c for 2017-2018 year Infiniti QX80's but Infiniti will not diagnose and fix. Instead they are seeking nearly $4k in repair work. The torque converter should last up to 200k miles and my car started having this issue around 65k miles. Ive escalated to Infiniti HQ and they will not listen to my complaint and continually are telling me there is not a recall. This recall needs to be put into place for model year 2019, the issue is NOT fixed!

Something keeps killing my battery. There’s no lights that come on to indicate a problem. I’ve been stranded twice at work and now today, I get ready to leave and the battery is dead again!! I’ve gotten a new battery three times in a year’s time. I’ve searched for a recall because I see where others are having the same problem, but apparently there’s not one. Hopefully, the dealership will have some answers tomorrow.

I was driving down the interstate, no one around me at the time when a loud boom happened and my sunroof had exploded. Nothing hit it. It just bam, exploded shattering the whole thing. And the quote I was given for replacement is crazy expensive. $2500+ and can’t be replaced before we head home, we are on vacation so we have to figure a make shift solution to get home without suffering more damage. We are 16 hours plus stops away from home.

The battery will lose all charge stranding you. Has happened twice and after searching the internet apparently Infiniti has known about this problem.

The night rear backup camera is extremely dark and blurry. You can’t see anything via the camera at night.

The backup camera cannot see see at nighttime, a real safety issue.

I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND SINCE APRIL, I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN DIFFERENT PLACES. THE REASON IS BECAUSE I WOULD GO TO GET IN MY CAR AND THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A RECALL ISSUE THAT THEY CLAIMED TO FIX. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN 3 MONTHS LATER, AT NIGHT WITH MY BABY AT THE GROCERY STORE. I WENT TO GET INTO MY CAR AND BATTERY WAS DEAD YET AGAIN. TOOK IT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TRIED TO TELL ME IT WAS MY FAULT BECAUSE I DON'T DRIVE IT ENOUGH. MIND YOU, I DRIVE MY VEHICLE EVERY SINGLE DAY TO WORK AND TO DAYCARE ETC. AFTER FIGHTING WITH THEM FOR A WEEK, THEY FINALLY FIXED IT, OR SO I THOUGHT. TODAY, I WENT TO MY SONS SOCCER GAME AND GUESS WHAT, BATTERY DEAD YET AGAIN! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS. THIS IS AN 80,000 VEHICLE AND COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN 3 TIMES IN 6 MONTHS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR SAFETY PURPOSES FOR ME AND MY BABY, AND IT IS LITERALLY THE EXACT OPPOSI

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, ONLY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT WAS A CLEAR, HOT, AND SUNNY DAY. I HEARD A LOUD NOISE LIKE A GUNSHOT AND THEN COULD HEAR THE SOUND OF AIR LIKE RIDING WITH THE WINDOW DOWN. I LOOKED AROUND INSIDE MY CAR AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING SO I PULLED THE SHADE A LITTLE FROM THE SUNROOF AND IT WAS SHATTERED.

THE 2019 QX80 FORWARD EMERGENCY BREAKING SYSTEM (FEB) CONTINUOUSLY ENGAGES THE BRAKES WITHOUT WARNING OR AN OBSTRUCTION. ALWAYS WHILE A RAILROAD CROSSING IS IN SITE, SOMETIMES WHEN A REDLIGHT IS NEAR BUT (GREEN) WITH NO VEHICLES STOPPED AT IT. IT HAS ALSO DONE IT ON AN OPEN HIGHWAY & INTERSTATE AT SPEEDS OF 70 MPH WITH NOTHING AROUND. THIS CAUSES A VERY REAL CHANCE OF BEING REAR-ENDED, OR STARTELING THE DRIVER INTO CRASHING.

MY WIFE IS IN QUARANTINE WITH OUR DAUGHTER IN OREGON. DRIVES THE QX80 EVERY 2 OR 3 DAYS, TO GO TO THE STORE FOR FOOD. QX80 STARTED UP JUST FINE, DROVE IT TO THE STORE AND PARKED IT. 35 MINUTES LATER, CAME OUT OF THE STORE WITH PERISHABLE GROCERIES, THE BATTERY WAS TOO WEAK TO START IT. HAD TO BE JUMP STARTED. SEEING THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY CLAIM THERE IS A RECENT RECALL THAT MAY HELP WITH THE ISSUE. NO RECALL IN THE SYSTEM, BUT NOTICES FROM INFINITI SERVICE ON THIS POSSIBLE FIX OF REPROGRAMMING AN ELECTRICAL MODULE. PER THE LAST COMPLAINT, IT DOESN'T FIX IT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT DUE TO ALL THE ELECTRONICS IN THE CAR, THERE IS A LARGE DRAW ON THE BATTERY FROM ELECTRONICS AND A LOT NEEDED FOR START UP. WAS TOLD THE QX80 HAS TO BE DRIVEN FOR LIKE 30 MINUTES AFTER YOU START IT UP, JUST TO CHARGE THE BATTERY FOR WHAT DRAW IT TOOK TO START THE ENGINE. ALSO BEING TO

THE CAR'S REARVIEW CAMERA HAS NO VISIBILITY WHEN IT'S NIGHTTIME OR DARK OUTSIDE. THE REARVIEW CAMERA MONITOR IS ALMOST PITCH BLACK AND TOO GRAINY. SIDEVIEW CAMERA ALSO SHOWS NO VISIBILITY (EVEN THOUGH THE CAR COMES WITH THESE FEATURES) AND CHANGING BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST SETTINGS DOES NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. DURING THE DAY, THERE'S VISIBILITY, BUT AT NIGHT, THE MONITOR IS BLACK AND GRAINY. THE DEALERSHIP'S MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM WHEN CAR WAS BROUGHT FOR MAINTENANCE JUST 45 DAYS AFTER LEASING THE NEW VEHICLE. INFINITI'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS WAS CONTACTED AND THEY HAVE NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM AS WELL. THIS CREATES A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AS WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN, NOTHING IS VISIBLE IN THE MONITOR WHEN BACKING UP.

ON THREE OCCASIONS THE BATTERY IN MY 2019 QX80 HAS DIED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE CAR IS A 2019 AND THE BATTERY DIED 8 MONTHS, 10 MONTHS AND NOW 13 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT BRAND NEW. EACH TIME THE CAR HAS DRIVEN FINE IN THE MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK BUT WHEN I TRIED TO TURN IT ON TO HEAD HOME IT DIDN'T START. I WAS INITIALLY TOLD IT WAS A BAD BATTERY AND THEN TOLD IT WAS AN ALTERNATOR ISSUE. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE THEM IN OUR FAMILY VEHICLE OUT OF FEAR OF BEING STRANDED AGAIN.
