Complete sudden engine failure , motor lost acceleration. It started with engine knocking then full and complete engine failure. Oil light illuminated when engine failed. I did check the engine and oil was full on a cold engine and the vehicle is properly maintained as it is a leased infiniti vehicle. Please note there have been two previous engine light incidents. First I was told it was a speaker in the rear door, second I was informed it was an evaporation seal. Lastly was this very intense engine shut down. I have research and found that there are issues with the turbo bearing with my particular engine and turbo. Engine 2.OL 4 cylinder ( KR20DDET)

Bluetooth and CarPlay connection suddenly disconnects from my iPhone while driving, usually after 5-10 minutes after establishing a normal connection. This only affects the use of the phone component and not the other elements of the connect (map/navigation, music are not affected). This is dangerous because I am often on a freeway and engaged in a business call, and I must rapidly either switch to using my handset or change to “speaker” mode on the phone in mid-call while driving. This has happened every time I have used this vehicle over the past two years, and I have taken it to the dealer (which is an excellent dealer (Sewell) that has an otherwise perfect service record. I am convinced Sewell has done nothing wrong. This has also happened on several other Infiniti models with my prior iPhones (different models with earlier versions of OS). I have been told in years past by Infiniti service corporate representatives in the past that there is an incompatibility between Infiniti and Apple phones. I was always told that the problem was solved on the next model vehicle.

Is 4 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2023 and 2026, roughly 1 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
