Stopped at night, at a red left turn light, 3 lane roadway. no one on road in front, passing me, or coming in opposite direction. backup camera came on, the picture of the vehicle appeared on the screen, all warning signals came on for an imminent head-on, side-front passenger crash was about to occur. these warnings flashed, then screen totally black. car was running, in drive, foot on brake waiting for green. no traffic on highway due to hour and location. the screen then flashed back on, same repeat warnings, black screen. could not get screenshot, phone in purse. light turned green, turned left across 2 more lanes, into destination parking lot. screen came back on, stayed 'normal' rest of daytime driving, until 2 days later daytime driving on 4 lane highway, the imminent warning system did not come on when a vehicle in front hit brakes, 60 mph traffic. i was distracted by a cell phone 'ping', looked down, then back up to see the brake lights, was abe to stop in time. called the salesperson where purchased, after the first incident, on her recommendation, then service # at certified dealer where i was currently located, 4 + hrs away from dealership where purchased. was told by this service center rep, 'never heard of this one, but we can get you in on aug 19th. (it was aug 10th at time of my call), if it happens again, get it towed either here, or dealership where purchased.' after the near rear-end crash, with no alert activated, my decision to return vehicle via notice to dealership sales manager was made. dealership sales manager never responded to my email stating i was cancelling purchase of his vehicle. 2 salespeople were sent to drive it back, despite the recommendation of that out of town service rep. to tow it if 'another incident'. concerned more incidents may occur with this vehicle, that it will be washed, waxed, returned for sale to another driver.
My wife opened the rear liftgate using the outside electronic door switch on the liftgate. the liftgate electrically fully opened. my wife started to load items into the rear of the suv. the door electrically closed on its own. the door struck the back of my wife's head before she could get out of the way. the door did not stop or open automatically, or detect an object in its path. she tried to reopen the liftgate using the switch, and it raised about 5 inches and then immediately shut. she brought the vehicle home and told me what happened. i opened the rear liftgate using the exterior switch as she had. the gate fully opened electrically and without stopping it immediately closed. i tried to open the liftgate again and it lifted about 5 inches and immediately closed. she drove the car to the dealer and showed the infiniti of coral gables service department. they repeated the actions, the door opened and immediately closed by itself. i contacted infiniti customer service and they opened incident 36294200. they gave her a loaner car and have requested the dealer not repair the car until a specialist arrives. the car was parked and not running on all three occasions.
Backup camera and nav screen went blank. couldn't use the backup camera backing up in garage.
