2013 Infiniti JX Electrical System Problems

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2013 Infiniti JX35. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy after the purchase. The vehicle was a dealer sale. The vehicle was purchased on August 16, 2025, and the vehicle mileage was 172,000. On November 26, 2025, the vehicle was repossessed, and upon further investigation, it was discovered that that vehicle's mileage was 151,289. The contact found out that the vehicle was a salvage vehicle, but the dealer did not inform the contact that the vehicle had a salvaged title. The contact stated that the dealer refused payment, and the contact had difficulty registering the vehicle.

There are several complaints regarding the headlights that the headlights continue to get moisture in them and it requires a new headlight assembly. There were 16 cases regarding the JX35 model and several for the QX60 model that replaced it.

Drivers headlights went out and there is condensation that has gathered in the headlight assembly.

When I purchased the car no warning lights or problems were wrong with it it drove fine. The same day I got it home which is an hour away, the check engine light came on so i called them back. I took car back to shop and told them the code said it was the converter they said that was not right and it was just bad gas put in it so they reset engine light. As soon as i got back home the engine light came back on and then all the power locks on the doors stopped working. I took it to meinieke in greenville in which they said my converter went bad and that is why the engine light was on. Then they said it must have been in water because it was severe rust underneath the hood. and it effected electrical system. However, none of this information was on the car fax report. no flood damage, no repairs etc. Also none of this was occurring

Airbag light flashing in dashboard; passenger front seat sensor not working- showing unoccupied when occupied with adult. VIN # not showing as part of recall, yet this is a known issue with the model/year. Interesting a common trend with certain VIN #s like mine shown on NHTSA complaints page. Another recall campaign needed to include these VIN numbers. Have reported several times to the dealership. I've now paid $1000 to repair the airbag sensors, and problem is not resolved. Nissan is responsible and this is a safety issue. NTSHA needs to do another recall campaign.

I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY IN MY 2013 INFINITI JX35 3-4 TIMES. DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO SAY THIS IS NORMAL. RECENTLY, MULTIPLE EXTERIOR LIGHT BULBS HAVE GONE OUT AND THE 'INSTRUMENT CLUSTER' SUDDENLY WENT DARK WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I CANNOT SEE METERS LIKE GAS, SPEED, ETC. I CANNOT HEAR OR SEE MY BLINKER OR HEADLIGHT INDICATORS. ADDITIONALLY, ALL THE POWER CONTROLS INCLUDING SPEED CONTROL NO LONGER WORK. I AM CONCERNED THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT ELECTRICAL SAFETY HAZARD. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR WITH MY CHILDREN. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF SIMILAR CLAIMS FOR THE 2013 INFINITI JX35 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ONLINE. I WOULD LIKE INFINITI TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR KNOWINGLY PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER BY REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR.

I CHANGED THE BATTERY AND REPLACED THE BATTERY POSTS ALSO AND MY BATTERY KEEPS DYING UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY INFINITI JUST TO CHECK AND SEE IF IT'S SOMETHING ELECTRICAL. THE PLACE WHERE I BOUGHT MY BATTERY FROM TESTED MY BATTERY AFTER ALL I DID BUY IT NEW AND IT'S GOOD SO THE GUY SAID IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR (AFTER FEW MINUTES AFTER ENGINE START), THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER (DASHBOARD) WENT DEAD - NO PANEL LIGHTS, NONE OF THE GAUGES - TEMPERATURE, FUEL, RPM, SPEEDOMETER, ETC. ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WERE WORKING. THE CAR RAN NORMALLY - ACCELERATION, BRAKING, WITH ALL THE LIGHTS (HEADLIGHT, TURNING LIGHTS, ETC.) WORKING - BUT THERE WAS NO INDICATION TO THE DRIVER OF THESE COMMANDS, FROM THE INSTRUMENT DASHBOARD / CLUSTER PANEL.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET I LIVE ON, ALL DASH INSTRUMENT PANEL SHUT DOWN. I HAVE NO GAS, SPEEDOMETER, MILEAGE, DIRECTIONAL FEEDBACK OR ANY INFORMATION THAT IS ON THE DASHBOARD AVAILABLE. I AM NOW UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT KNOWING HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING OR HOW MUCH GAS IS IN YOUR CAR.

REAR POWER DOOR ACTUATOR FAILURE ON VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN 4 YEARS OLD

MY CAR WAS UNDER MY CARPORT. GOT IN MY CAR PRESSED THE START BUTTON AND MY DASH PANEL BLINKED ON AND OFF. I SAW THE PROBLEM TURN THE CAR OFF AND THE NEXT TIME THE PANEL WAS FINE. RAN MY ERRANDS GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND THE DASH PANEL WENT COMPLETELY OUT. I HAVE NO SPEEDOMETER, NO GAS GUAGE, NO MAINTENANCE NOTICES, NO TIRE PRESSURE WARNINGS, NOTHING. ALSO NONE OF THE CONTROLS ON MY STEERING WHEEL WORK. MY JX35 IS A 2013. JUST HAPPENED ALL OF A SUDDEN. NOW THE MILEAGE COMES UP WHEN THE DOOR OPENS AND SOME TIMES THE TWO CIRCLES IN THE DASH LIGHT UP, BUT THE LIGHTS SHUT OFF WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THE COMPONENTS DO NOT WORK, JUST LIGHT UP.

I HAVE THREE ISSUES THAT I HAVE HAD WITHIN 3 DAYS OF BUYING THIS CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED JX35. (1) THE VEHICLE INFORMATION DISPLAY (I.E., DASHBOARD PANEL) STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR CITY ROUTE LEAVING ME WITHOUT TURN SIGNAL CAPABILITIES, SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAUGE AND ANY VEHICLE INFORMATION SUCH AS TIRE PRESSURE, MAINTENANCE, ETC. THE DISPLAY CAME BACK ON LATER AND SO DID THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT. THE LOCAL INFINITI DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY BY REPLACING A "COMBINATION METER." (2) I RECEIVED A CALL FROM A PARTS REPRESENTATIVE AT THE LOCAL INFINITI DEALERSHIP WHO STATED THAT A PART ASSOCIATED WITH THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) RECALL WOULD BE IN SOON AND I SHOULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE OCS REPAIRED. I WAS A LITTLE SHOCKED BECAUSE DURING THE SALES PROCESS I SPECIFICALLY ASKED THE SALES REP ABOUT THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL ISSUE HAD BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. BASED ON WHAT THE INFINITI SALES REP TOLD ME, I WAS OPERATING THE CAR UNDER THE FALSE ASSUMPTION THAT MY PASSENGERS WOULD BE SAFE. UNTIL THE OCS IS REPAIRED (AND NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW WHEN THE OCS PARTS WILL ACTUALLY BE IN), I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PUT PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEATS AS IT IS A POTENTIAL DANGER TO DRIVE WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT WITH A DEACTIVATED PASSENGER AIRBAG. (3) THE ILLUMINATED KICK PLACE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION, FULL DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED WORKING. NO TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS, NO SPEEDOMETER, NO FUEL GAUGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 INFINITI JX35. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED TO FUNCTION. IN ADDITION, THE ODOMETER, THE FUEL GAUGE, AND THE TACHOMETER BECAME INOPERATIVE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT ANY SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY 2013 JX35 AUTOMATIC TRUNK RELEASE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN I INITIATE THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE TRUNK IT OPENS COMPLETELY AND IMMEDIATELY STARTS TO CLOSE EVEN IF SOMEONE IS IN THE TRUNK AREA WHICH ITS SUPPOSE TO REBOUND. I HAVE TO PHYSICALLY STOP THE TRUNK FROM CLOSING ON ME AND THIS IS NOT AN EASY TASK SINCE THE HYDRAULICS AND WEIGHT OF THE TRUNK IS HEAVY.

VEHICLE DIED WHILE DRIVING IN PARKING LOT AND ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS BEGAN TO STROBE WITH AN AWD FAILURE LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND THE FRONT SEATS STARTED MOVING. VEHICLE BATTERY DIED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN TOW AND HAS BEEN AT DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS. PREVIOUS PROBLEMS (WITHIN DAYS) INCLUDE SEAT MEMORY NOT PAIRING WITH KEY, KEY NOT WORKING TO UNLOCK HATCH. *TR

I PARKED IN MY DRIVE-WAY ABOUT 9PM ON SUN, NOV 22, 2014. UPON EXITING THE CAR, I SMELT AND SAW FAINT SMOKE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. I WALKED TO THAT SIDE AND SAW ORANGE FIRE BEHIND THE FOG LIGHT IN THE LOWER PASSENGER BUMPER (INSIDE WHERE THE BUMPER HAS A FLAT LEDGE). I RAN IN THE HOUSE FOR A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND MY HUSBAND AND WE TRIED TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE SEVERAL TIMES, BUT IT WOULD RE-IGNITE. WHEN WE REALIZED WE COULD NOT EXTINGUISH, WE CALLED 911 FOR THE FIRE DEPT. WE ALSO RECONNECTED THE WATER HOSE TO KEEP RUNNING WATER OVER THE FIRE (THE HOSE AND PIPES HAD ALREADY BEEN WRAPPED FOR WINTER SO IT TOOK A FEW MINUTES). WHEN WE RETURNED TO THE CAR, THE FIRE HAD GROWN AND FLAMES STARTED TO COME OUT OF THE GAP BETWEEN THE QUARTER-PANEL AND HOOD. THE WATER KEPT THE FIRE UNDER CONTROL UNDER THE FIRE DEPT ARRIVED. THE FIREMEN ASKED IF I HAD ANY RECENT WORK DONE ON THE CAR AS THEY BELIEVED THE FIRE WAS ELECTRICAL. I THEN REALIZED I HAD JUST HAD A SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGE DONE AND THE PASSENGER FOG LIGHT REPLACED THE WEEK BEFORE ON SAT, NOV 15, 2014. THE FIREMEN MENTIONED THERE MAY HAVE BEEN EXCESS GREASE LEFT ON THE BULB WHEN CHANGED AND THAT MAY BE WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE, BUT IT IS STILL UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME. I HAVE CONTACTED THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND MY INSURANCE AND BOTH HAVE HIRED C&I SPECIALIST TO TRY TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT TO SEE IF ANYONE WITH MY VEHICLE HAS HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE HAPPEN TO THEM TO HELP DETERMINE IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE OR RECALL ISSUE. ANY COMMENTS OR RESEARCH SUPPORT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED 4 TIMES ON DASH RATTLE, HIGHLY IMPAIRMENTS WITH DRIVING DISTRACTIONS. PART OF RECENT DASH FIX LEFT DASH TO FALL APART (POSSIBLE JOB COMPLETION FAILURE). RENO DEALER FORCING ME TO DRIVE TO ANOTHER LOCATION (SACRAMENTO, CA, 175 MILES 1 WAY) TO GET SERVICED AND REPAIRED. PLUS SAID CAR IS IN PROCESS OF BEING RECALLED A 5TH TIME! UGH. JUST WANT NEGOTIABLE REFUND! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 INFINITI JX35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER SIX TO EIGHT TIMES TO BE SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V138000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE, BUT THE SPECIFICS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILAGE WAS 15,000.

AS I STARTED THE CAR AFTER A LONG DAY OF WORK, I DISCOVERED THAT THE DASHBOARD IS NOT FUNCTIONAL, COMPLETELY DEAD. BLINKERS, GAS METER, SPEED METER, CRUISE, LIGHTS DID NOT WORK. I CALLED BROOKPARK INFINITY WHO TOLD ME THAT THE FUSE WAS OUT AND REPLACED IT. THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY EXPLANATION WHY THIS HAPPENED IN A NEW CAR THAT IS LESS ONE YEA OLD. I AM GREATLY CONCERNED THAT I GOT A LEMON DEAL ON THIS CAR. *JS
