This Problem Across All Years
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 in Oct after a visit by AAA.

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 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 OPPOSITE OF WHAT I NEEDED. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED WITH MY BABY 3 TIMES!!! THIS VEHICLE IS AN ABSOLUTE JOKE AND I BEG ANYONE READING THIS TO NEVER PURCHASE IT! I WILL BE SPEAKING TO AN ATTORNEY REGARDING LEMON LAWS. I WANT MY MONEY BACK AND I WILL NEVER PURCHASE AN INFINITI AGAIN.

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 TOLD THE QX80 IS NOT MEANT TO SIT WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN FOR A WEEK OR LONGER, AS THIS CAN CAUSE THE BATTERY TO DRAIN ENOUGH IT WILL NOT START. SO I USED THE EXAMPLE THAT I CANNOT LEAVE THE QX80 AT THE AIRPORT IF I WAS FLYING OUT AND GOING ON VACATION FOR A WEEK. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I DO NOT DO THAT. ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT IF THE QX80 IS GOING TO SIT FOR SEVERAL DAYS, THAT I CAN PURCHASE AND HOOK UP A BATTERY CHARGER/MAINTAINER TO THE BATTERY. THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING TOLD TO ME WHEN I BOUGHT IT, DID NOT READ IT IN ANY VEHICLE INFO. PURCHASED A $90K VEHICLE AND I HAVE TO POP THE HOOD, RUN AN EXTENSION CORD TO AND DEPEND ON A $40 BATTERY CHARGER TO KEEP IT RUNNING. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR ANY VEHICLE. IF I WANTED A VEHICLE THAT I HAD TO CONSTANTLY PLUG IN AND CHARGE, I WOULD HAVE PURCHASED AN ELECTRIC CAR.

I HAVE BEEN STRANDED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THIS VEHICLE. SOME BATTERY GREMLIN OR ELECTRICAL GREMLIN. BROUGHT TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL THAT WAS FIXED. I WENT TO THE STORE 2 DAYS LATER , CAME OUT WITH $400 WORTH OF GROCERIES AND GO TO START MY TRUCK AND NOTHING . BLINKING FLASHING ELECTRIC GLITCHING . IT TOOK 15 MINUTES OF JUST TRYING TO JUMP IT OFF!!! ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS !! OBVIOUSLY THE RECALL IS NOT FIXING THE ISSUE WITH THIS TRUCK .

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.

WENT TO START CAR AFTER IT WAS SITTING OVER NIGHT (AND TEMPERATURE HAD DROPPED) AND IT WOULD NOT START, REQUIRING A JUMP. NOTHING WAS LEFT ON OVERNIGHT. CAR REQUIRED JUMP START TWO MORE TIMES UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO TAKE TO DEALER. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A DEFECTIVE BATTERY AND BATTERY WAS EXCHANGED. THREE WEEKS LATER, AFTER STOPPING FOR GAS AT 5AM ON WAY TO WORK, CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. AGAIN NOTHING HAS BEEN LEFT ON. CAR IS CURRENTLY DEAD IN MY DRIVEWAY. IT IS A 2019! ALSO, THE DOOR COVERING MY GAS CAP NO LONGER OPENS, REQUIRING IT TO BE PRIED OPEN.
