There is an intermittent sound (which sounds like a furnace blower) when you drive over 85 mph. Also if you roll down the windows you can hear the same sound when the car is not moving, all this happens after the car is driven for at least over an hour.

There is a definite rattle coming from the passenger side of the car that is noticable at moderate speeds. The mechanic said he could not duplicate. After looking at the NICO forum, the rattle may be associated with the seat mechanism - loose cover 
22320 mi Moulding on the passenger side door was loose and was repaired. No water damage, just loose. 
27900 mi There is a noticable rattle in the passenger side area of the car. Dealer removed the passenger seat and placed shims where the seat is connected to the frame. Although this may have repaired some of the issue, there is still a rattle. Moulding over driver and passenger side window is not seated properly. No leaks, but I asked for it to be adjusted. They had previously adjusted it about 6 months earlier. 
31000 mi Rattle on passenger side was the result of improper placement and attachment of panel under the glove box. This caused a rattle. Dealer re-installed panel properly. 
26000 mi

3720 mi Passengers side sun visor broke - repaired on warranty. 
6820 mi Passengers side sun visor broke again. Paid for repair ($160.00) but was refunded by infiniti after many arguments and their investigations finally determined that it was too common to be my fault. 
16120 mi Plastic door over vanity mirror on driver's sun visor broke again. Very weak hinges. Replaced on warranty. 
1240 mi heat shield rattle was noticed; dealer said it was successfully adjusted, but problem was found to persist front passenger door appeared to be misaligned since dash trim and matching door trim didn't line up; dealer claimed to have adjusted door to maximum possible; did not resolve the cosmetic alignment issue and door fitting became worse, in fact dealer said misalignment was due to dash trim misalignment, not door; further, no adjustment is possible, so too bad :( hood out of alignment on driver's side; adjusted successfully passenger door alignment, previously worsened by dealer, was successfully re-adjusted 2nd attempt found heat shield rattle as reported by owner, but no adjustment possible; new exhaust pipe on order 
1860 mi Dealer scratched gear shifter on last visit; they agreed to replace it. 
2480 mi Dealer damaged shift knob for the SECOND time (was already replaced on a previous occasion) 
4305 mi Replaced shift knob scratched by dealer (for the 2nd time) Replaced driver's door finisher panel - leather was separating from the armrest Sunroof required adjustment to improve seal. Driver's seat rubs against centre console and squeaks when turning left. Adjust sun roof for better fit (and hopefully, less leakage)

9920 mi
