Subject: Request for Safety Defect Investigation and Recall â 2018 INFINITI QX80 Infotainment/Navigation Screen To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to formally request an investigation into a serious and recurring problem with the infotainment/navigation screen in my 2018 INFINITI QX80 and to request that INFINITI consider a safety recall or other appropriate remedy. The screen is malfunctioning by going black, freezing, failing to come on, and repeatedly turning on and off while I am driving the vehicle. This is not simply an inconvenience. Having the display repeatedly shut off and restart while the vehicle is in motion raises a significant safety concern. The screen is an integrated pa
The dashboard bulbs went out from 0-40 mph and 6-8 rpms. It seems to be a common issue on Reddit and I have found complaints on the internet.

This 2nd instrument cluster started going out in the 20-45 mph segment,
The plastic trim on the steering wheel that is colored to match the other plastic trim in the car has cracked at the 2:00 clock position. The cracked plastic sometimes lifts when turning the wheel which I feel may cause an accident. I have not had it inspected by the dealer of manufacturer as I'm aware they won't repair it currently. There were no symptoms before it happened, it was just cracked/separated one day. Nissan/Infiniti should be required to repair this potential safety issue.
