Anonymous, NM (2017 Infiniti QX50 None 3.7-L V6)Squeaks, rattles, wind noises, seals and/or weather stripping, air and water leaks.
"The floorboards suddenly were so wet they splashed! Started about 18 months ago & Ive had it in & out of the shop several times with no success. The leak seems to come from the upper trim between the drivers window and the windshield, at the joint (where the fabric ends, then begins up to the windshield) & from the pedal compartment. It causes foggy, dripping, windows that take effort & time to see through enough to drive. Causes a strong musty smell and ruins whatever shoes Im wearing unless I hold my feet up or stack towels on the floorboard. Again, checked out multiple times and zero improvement."

"Randomly, the sound system will pop and the display screen goes into vertical lines. The only way to correct the problem is to turn the car off and restart. Sometimes I need to unplug my phone AFTER turning off the car to avoid the problem."
