Multiple navigation / intouch crashes, malfunction, radio freezes, head proxy unit failure,. Issues occur upon startup and you are forced to stop, wait 5 minutes, restart vehicle. Brought in for service, replaced direct control unit,updated firmware. Vehicle continues to display issues approx. 2 - 3 times per week approx. 15 - 25 minutes into commute. Forced to pull off road, stop, wait, restart. Scheduled visit with infiniti dealer tech specialist to review vehicle.
While driving on the highway the collision sensors on the vehicle suddenly turned off. This is common and I simply turned them back on. A few minutes later they turned back off followed by a brief flash of the traction control light about a minute later. The braking system engaged without warning, two yellow lights illuminated where the forward collision sensor typically alerts, for roughly a second and a half despite all collision sensors registering as off-line and in a failed state.
