The hood of my vehicle is raised on the upper right side. It was a small opening but now it has gotten bigger. I'm afraid that the entire hood may come off at a high speed. I also have rust spots on the top of my car close to the sunroof. I use Infiniti of the palm beaches for all of my services and have reported both concerns and was told it was normal wear and tear. I have owned many cars and never had the problems that I've had with a vehicle.
The window regulator assembly is defective on a variety of Infiniti Q50 models. This is a very common complaint and some dealers are aware of it. This is more frequent on the driver's side from what has been posted online. This initially presents itself as a rattle which can be heard during bass notes with a frequency of 50-100hz. ~70hz from my test. The window basically gets off the track and this can cause a safety issue if the window shatters due to a mechanical failure of the window regulator assembly which can potentially put stress on the window. Also, this can be very dangerous if the window regulator fails during a day in which the weather involves rain or snow and the driver is unable to roll up their window. I took my car to a Infiniti dealer and they stated that the manufacturer only pays them a flat rate to inspect the car so essentially it was not worth their time to inspect it.
