22 reportsThe SUNROOF SHATTERED while I was driving on Highway, glass fell down all over me. Sound like a Gunshot, I am a veteran with PTSD already and it scared me. Thankfully I was able to hold myself together until I got to the dealership, then I broke down.

The vehicle on at least 4 occasions has stopped accelerating when driving the vehicle (first time I believe was fall 2021, this last time was Spring 2022). Most of the times that the issue was noticed, the car was was moving at slower speeds (35 or less). The engine remained running but pressing on the gas pedal didn't make the vehicle increase it's speed. The first time it did this we took it to the dealership to inspect. They could not replicate the issue and they said that no error codes showed up. We left with no repairs or answers. It happened 2 more times after that. Each of those times we were able to stop the vehicle and get it to go again or it would start to respond to pushing on the gas pedal and would accelerate. The 4th time this happened I was in the middle of an intersection turning and it wouldn't accelerate. I was able to slowly roll into a gas station. I tried stopping and turning the vehicle off and on again to see if the problem would go away, however each time the car only slowly inched forward. I parked and then the vehicle started acting weird. The AC shut off and the steering wheel locked. There were three error lights that came on. The first said "FCW Malfunction See Owner's Manual" and second was "IBA OFF" and then the "! inside a triangle" appeared. These appeared only after stopping the vehicle for the last time right before it wouldn't start again. The vehicle was towed to the dealership. The error reading they got was c1601 and they believe the alternator needs to be replaced. This doesn't seem to line up with the issues we have been having nor the error warning lights that appeared. The last time this happened my child was in the car with me. Had we pulled out to turn and the car wouldn't go we could have very easily been hit by oncoming traffic. It is very troubling that the dealership doesn't seem to really know what is wrong with the car.
Shuddering, shaking & skipping while driving. It’s a nightmare. The car (QX60- 2015) can’t go over 20 miles without “jumping” on me. I am fearing for my safety. It’s only a bulletin by Infiniti and not a recall. This is unacceptable.
DRIVING ON INTERSTATE, SUNROOF EXPLODED SPONTANEOUSLY. LARGE HOLE IN SUNROOF GLASS. SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN WENT OFF FOLLOWED BY SHATTERED GLASS. THERE WAS NO PRIOR DAMAGE TO THE GLASS BEFORE IT EXPLODED.
ON MARCH 26, 2021 THE SUNROOF EXPLODED AND SHATTERED DURING COMMUTE HOME FROM WORK IN DALLAS ON I30 EASTBOUND NEAR THE FERGUSON ROAD EXIT. TRAFFIC WAS SURPRISINGLY LIGHT AND THERE WERE NO LARGE TRUCKS NEAR ME.
SHUDDERING WHILE DRIVING P0776 CODE TRANSMISSION SKIPPING WHILE DRIVING STALLING WHILE DRIVING
WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHUDDER AND IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE IN A TIMELY FASHION. WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET OR HIGHWAY THE CAR DOES NOT GAIN RPMS AND BEGINS TO WHAT BEST CAN BE DESCRIBED AS COUGHING AND SHAKING. CHANGING GEARS FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL OR REVERSE ALSO TAKES THE VEHICLE TIME TO MAKE THE CHANGE.
SUN ROOF COLLAPSE AND EXPLOSION. DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND SUNROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED WITHOUT BEING HIT BY OBJECT. I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON A COLD DAY WHEN THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. NO DEBRIS WAS SEEN COMING AT THE VEHICLE. NO IMPACT WAS HEARD PRIOR TO THE SUNROOF EXPLODING.
ON 8/11/2018 AT APPROXIMATELY 1315 CST I WAS DRIVING IN THE RIGHT LANE OF I-10 W BY MILE MARKER 126 AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT WHEN THE SUNROOF EXPLODED.

316V244000 · Air Bags:sensor:occupant Classification
Apr 26, 2016
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF, Sentra, and Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60, QX60 Hybrid, and Q50 Hybrid, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue and Infiniti Q50, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Murano Hybrid, and Chevrolet City Express, 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
Remedy: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, and Sentra vehicles, and replace the OCS ECU in LEAF, NV200, NV200 Taxi, Pathfinder, Infiniti Q50, JX35, and QX60 and Chevrolet City Express vehicles, free of charge. Interim notices were sent to owners on May 31, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669, Infiniti customer service at 1-888-833-3216 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.

These OCS control units may incorrectly classify the front passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the OCS does not detect an adult occupant in the passenger seat, the passenger air bag would be deactivated. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the passenger.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will update the OCS software, free of charge. The recall began on November 30, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
