Ac compressor seems is out of alignment. Infiniti requires customers to perform technical supply bulletin to align ac compressor at owner expense. If a drive belt breaks will driving it can cause collateral damage to engine components ans pose a safety risk to the passengers. Many vehicles affected.

I have been having problems starting the car from the initial purchase new - its been to the dealership twice - one time towed in. They replace the batteries in the car and remote but after the car sits for a week or two it wont start. Had to buy a jump starter.
How to read this page
Every figure comes from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's public complaint database, which holds every safety-related defect complaint filed by owners since 1995. We refresh it monthly and count each complaint once per component it names. Data through September 6, 2026.
NHTSA only accepts safety-related complaints. Rattles, paint, infotainment bugs and other annoyances are under-reported here, so this page is a map of what fails in ways owners consider dangerous, not a full reliability score.
Counts are raw. Use the year-over-year shape and the component mix, not the absolute numbers. Where a component maps to parts we stock, the row links to that category filtered to the year you are viewing. Air bag and seat belt complaints link to the recall checker instead, because those repairs are almost always covered.
