Hello, When I originally leased this vehicle I had electrical issues with the radio and also an intermittent rotten egg smell. I have brought my car in for this they said they fixed the radio issue but didn't smell the smell we were smelling in it. As soon as I got it back the same stuff was happening again. I had brought it back in for service and they said they couldn't find anything from with it. In October I was at a shopping center and and my car wouldn't start. I had called they told me service was closing I would need to call for a tow truck I walked home because I needed to get to my son's football game and picked up the other set of keys walked back and the vehicle started. I know it's not the keys because the vehicle wouldn't start with the phone app. Since that day 3 other times the vehicle wouldn't start but eventually did within a few minutes. …

My 2023 Infiniti QX60 Autograph model caught fire in the engine in my driveway while parked on Thursday, [redacted] at approximately [redacted] EST. Fire department was dispatched and fire marshal completed a report. There were no warnings or indications prior to the fire. My vehicle had been parked in my driveway since approximately 12:40 pm EST the same day.
This vehicle has been to the dealership five times for the car alarm will randomly go off. This issue is hard to replicate. In the final time that I took it to the dealer, I had a rental car and what we found is that when the car is parked and it's locked and you pull in next to it. The car alarm will go off the car was never touched. It just goes off. does it go off in that situation every single time no. So it's at the point where if the alarm goes off, it doesn't mean anything to me. There is no concern. It's like the boy who cried wolf this car just the alarm will just go off anytime it's locked and in a parking lot or just sitting by itself I have asked Infinity corporate to get involved and they said that they have done everything to help and they are unable to fix the problem
With less than 2000 miles, the dash has blacked out while driving and that seems to have cleared finally. Now the hatch back will randomly open when walking near the back of the vehicle. Sometimes when the hatch is open, it will close while putting groceries in the back. It has been in to Infiniti for this and battery was replaced because they said it was bad. After a couple of days, hatch is acting up again like it has its own mind. Fortunately, it has not open while driving but warning light will come on saying it is not secure. Stop and reclose, repeat. Ugh. Infiniti is picking up tomorrow to have another look at the system. Hopefully they can repair because we love our vehicle otherwise.
