2014 Infiniti Q50 Complaint Log

100% MANUFACTURER DEFECTIVE, DAS, RECALL PERFORMED IN 2016 AT THE HERBS CHAMBERS PRIOR US PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN APRIL 2017. CAR BROKE DOWN IN HIGHWAY @ 65 MPH.

TODAY NOVEMBER 6, 2019, AT ABOUT 12:30 PM AFTER I STARTED MY VEHICLE THE STEERING WAS VERY HARD TO STEER AND MANEUVER. I DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK HOME BUT HAD A HARD TIME STEERING. MY VEHICLE HAS ADAPTIVE STEERING. I CALLED ABOUT A RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS MADE IN JULY OF 2016. IT APPEARS THAT THIS HAS NOT RESOLVED THE ISSUE AND MY VEHICLE MAY LEAD TO A POSSIBLE CRASH IF I DRIVE IT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED DESPITE THE FACT THAT I HAD AN ISSUE TODAY. THE WEATHER WAS ABOUT 36 F AND I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS A WEATHER RELATED. ISSUE. I WAS PARKED AT A SHOPPING MALL AT THE TIME IT OCCURRED THE VEHICLE WAS STILL WARM WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE.

THE CHASIS CONTROL SYSTEM ERROR WARNING IIS ON ALSO KEY SYSTEM ERROR IS ON ALSSO THE RADIO WORKS BUT NO SOUND FROM SPEAKERS

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER, STEERING AND BREAKING CAPABILITIES. ALL OF THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP. INFINITY REPLACED THE ABS SYSTEM.

FIRST INSTANCE: WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH MY CAR POWERED DOWN, PREVENTING ME FROM CONTROLLING THE CAR. THE GAUGES AND LIGHTS INSIDE THE CAR WENT DARK AND MPH WENT TO 0. I LOST ELECTRICAL POWER AND AFTER 1 MINUTE THE CAR IS BACK TO NORMAL. SECOND INSTANCE: AS I WAS PULLING INTO A DRIVEWAY AND WENT OVER A BUMP THE CAR LOST POWER AND POWERED DOWN, I NATURALLY PRESSED THE GAS BEFORE I UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS WRONG, THE CAR POWERS BACK UP AS I'M PRESSING THE GAS AND CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR.

STEERING WHEEL LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING AND THE CAR STILL RUNNING

-When braking while hybrid and engine system are attemping to determine the power draw the vehicle will propel forward increasing momentum of vehicle rather than braking. -Vehicle is available for inspection. -This issue can cause collision due to the sudden undesired propulsion of the vehicle, as well as addition unnecssary use of the braking system. -Dealer states this is normal condition. -Vehicle has only been inspected by dealer. -There are NO warning signs, indicators, or alerts. Issue first started around 35,000 miles. -In addition the drivetrain might also affect the ability to propel forward. While in slow speeds (10 mph and below) the vehicle the vehicle will stutter making take off difficult from complete stop. Additionally, vehicle stutters just the same while braking to come to a stop (10 mph and below) making it difficult to navigate a safe stop.

MY POWER STEERING BELT SNAPPED OFF. PRIOR TO THAT, MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS LOOSE ENOUGH TO MOVE IT UP AND DOWN ROUGHLY A 1/4 OF AN INCH WITH MY FOOT. THE ONLY WAY TO ENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS TO HOLD THE BRAKE PEDAL UP WITH MY FOOT, THEN IN ORDER TO KEEP THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED WAS TO KEEP HOLDING THE BRAKE PEDAL UP WITH MY FOOT BECAUSE IT WOULD SENSE THAT THE DRIVER SLIGHTLY TAPPED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO DISENGAGE IT IF I STOPPED HOLDING IT UP MANUALLY. I HAD TO HAVE THE BRAKE PEDAL BOLT TIGHTENED. IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN AND I CAN'T REACH THE BOLT, SO I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED AGAIN ALONG WITH THE OTHER ISSUES. THE OTHER ISSUE IS MY A/C BLEND DOOR IS NOT OPERATING, WHICH IS CAUSING THE TWO DRIVER SIDE A/C VENTS TO BLOW WARM AIR OUT OF THEM WHILE EVER OTHER VENT BLOWS ICE COLD . NOT FUN IN THESE INCREDIBLY HOT AND HUMID GEORGIA SUMMERS.

- [ ] 2014 Q50 SPORT VQ3.7VHR PREMIUM BASE WITH 51K MILES. YOU'LL JUST BE DRIVING ALONG AND THE POWER STEERING JUST STOPS WORKING! THE STEERING GETS VERY ROUGH AND THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, IT'S DONE IT 3-TIMES NOW! ON THE WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS: 'POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT' TURNS ON & THE 'VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL' LIGHT ALSO. THEN ON THE VEHICLE INFORMATION DISPLAY: 'CHASSIS CONTROL SYSTEM ERROR' (SEE OWNER'S MANUEL) TURNS ON. YOU TURN THE CAR OFF AND START IT AGAIN AND IT GOES AWAY, SOMETIMES. IT'S HAPPENED THREE TIMES SO FAR, AND NOW IT'S NOT DOING IT IT'S BEEN WORKING FINE FOR TWO DAYS NOW? YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND IT'S VERY UNSAFE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID MY BASIC WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND I JUST HAVE THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY LEFT, UNLESS I PURCHASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE DAST TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE (IT'S NOT ON THE WINDOW STICKER) AND INFINITI SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE, ONLY 2014'S WITH DAST. I BELIEVE IT NEEDS A SOFTWARE UPDATE.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING IN MY CAR ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE INFINITI DEALERSHIP TWICE, AND TWICE THEY HAVE REPLACED THE THREE COMPUTERS IN THE CAR THAT CONTROL THE STEERING. THOUGH I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SAVE THE CAR FROM AN ACCIDENT SO FAR I FEAR I WILL NOT ALWAYS BE AS LUCKY.

I WAS PULLING OFF FROM THE GROCERY STORE AND MY CAR STALLED LIKE IT DIDNT WANTTO GO. SO I STOPPED AND PUT IT BACK IN PARK AND THEN STARTED TO PROCEED AGAIN....THATS WHEN I GOT ALL THE FLASHING ERRORS FOR MY AWD AND THE CHASSIS SYSTEM. THE REAR RIGHT ABS SENSOR IS THE PROBLEM PER THE DEALER. MY AWD ERROR LIGHT AND CHASSIS SYSTEM ERROR LIGHT ARE ON ALONG WITH THE ABS LIGHT. I'VE READ UP ON ALOT OF PEOPLES COMMENTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH WITH THE MANUFACTURER AS THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN AFTER THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT. THIS IS MY SECOND INFINITI CAR, AND WAS HOPING NOT TO RUN INTO THESE EXPENSIVE SENSOR ISSUES ALL OVER AGAIN. MY NEXT CAR WILL NOT BE AN INFINITI.

DURING 20 DEGREE F, I DROVE MY CAR WITH NO ISSUES TO A RETAIL STORE, PARKED IT IN A PARKING LOT. AFTER SHOPPING, RETURNED TO MY CAR & STARTED IT UP, PUT IN REVERSE, STARTED BACKING UP, THEN SEVERAL MALFUNCTION LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE CAR'S DASH & THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ALL OF A SUDDEN. I COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I COULD ONLY MOVE THE CAR FORWARD & BACKWARD & THIS IS ALL WHILE THE CAR IS POWERED ON. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. IN PAST HISTORY, THERE HAS BEEN 2 OTHER STEERING RECALLS (ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM & ADAPTIVE STEERING PARTS) ON THIS SAME MAKE/MODEL,& YEAR. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE TEAM TOLD ME ON 1/22/19 & THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR WAS THE CHASSIS CONTROL MODULE (THE BRAIN OF THE STEERING WHEEL) & A LANE DEPARTURE MALFUNCTION & THE COST OF REPAIR IS $1600 (NOT COVERED) DESPITE I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE CHASSIS CONTROL MODULE AS THE BRAIN OF THE STEERING WHEEL CLEARLY RELATES TO THE PREVIOUS STEERING RECALLS (ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM & ADAPTIVE STEERING PARTS) ALONG WITH THE LANE DEPARTURE MALFUNCTION AS DIAGNOSED BY INFINITI DEALER IN SUITLAND, MARYLAND. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PREVIOUS 2 RECALLS (ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM & ADAPTIVE STEERING PARTS) SAY THAT IN FREEZING CLIMATES, THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT REACHES FREEZING, DISABLING THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF STEERING, INCREASING RISK OF CRASH. AS DIAGNOSED BY INFINITI, DEFINITELY THE CHASSIS CONTROL MODULE & EVEN THE LANE DEPARTURE TECHNOLOGY PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THE PREVIOUS STEERING RECALLS & SHOULD HAVE BEEN. PLEASE ISSUE STEERING RECALLS FOR THE CHASSIS CONTROL MODULE AND LANE DEPARTURE MALFUNCTION PARTS OR JUST THE ENTIRE STEERING SYSTEM. INFINITI IS FIXING MY CAR AT NO CHARGE TO ME AFTER I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE RELATED PREVIOUS STEERING RECALLS. PER THE INTERNET, MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS WITH THIS CAR MODEL. DANGER!!

THE COMPUTER FOR NAVIGATION AND ALSO THE SOUND SYSTEM AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE JUST STOPPED WORKING. I RAN IT THROUGH A CAR WASH AND THE COMPUTER WAS WORKING BEFORE AND AFTER I LEFT THE CAR WASH AND THE COMPUTER HAS NOT WORKED SINCE..

THIS AFTERNOON I HAD ANOTHER BLOWOUT OF A RUN-FLAT TIRE. THIS IS THE 7TH BLOWOUT IN UNDER 17 MONTHS. OVER MY DRIVING CAREER I HAVE DRIVEN OVER A MILLION MILES, BY MY CALCULATIONS, AND HAVE NEVER HAD A BLOWOUT. I WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON THE LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWAY WHEN I HIT A SMALL POTHOLE. TIRES ARE BRIDGESTONE 245/40 RF 19 98W.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 INFINITI Q50. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS INITIALLY STARTED, IT UNEXPECTEDLY STEERED TO THE RIGHT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED PERIODICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHEEHY INFINITI OF ANNAPOLIS (123 FERGUSON RD, ANNAPOLIS, MD 21409, (443) 400-7125) WHERE THE COMPUTER WAS RESET, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

2014 INFINITY Q50. CONSUMER WRITES IN REQUESTING MODIFICATION TO VEHICLE CONTRACT. *LD THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO EXCLUDE THE BOILER PLATE CLAUSES FROM THE PURCHASE CONTRACT. *JS

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR THAT CONTROLS THE LIGHT SHOWING IF THE SYSTEM IS ON OR OFF WAS SERVICED LAST YEAR DUE TO LIGHT BEING ON WHEN AN ADULT WAS SEATED - RECALL 16V-244. THE SYSTEM WORKED FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND THEN STOPPED WORKING, LIGHT REMAINED ON WITH ADULTS SEATED. SOMETIMES THE SYSTEM WORKED AND OTHER TIME SIT DID NOT. ON TUESDAY MARCH 29TH, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON FOR OVER 30 MINUTES AND I STOPPED AT THE DEALER TO SHOW THEM THE PROBLEM. THE LIGHT TURNED OFF JUST AS THE TECH WAS LOOKING AT THE PROBLEM. THEY SUGGESTED MAKING A VIDEO OF THE PASSENGER SITTING WHILE DRIVING AND THE LIGHT BEING ON. GOT TWO VIDEOS OF THIS SITUATION. GOING INTO DEALER NEXT WEEK. FUNNY, TODAY I GET A LETTER FROM INFINITI ABOUT THIS RECALL AND OFFERING TO FIX AND FUTURE PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. SEEMS ODD THAT THE RECALL FIX DID NOT WORK AND NOW THEY WILL PERFORM A "ONE-TIME RETROFIT TO THE OCS SYSTEM. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT, IT SHOULD WORK AS LONG AS I DRIVE THE CAR. CAR WAS IN MOTION, ADULT PASSENGER SEATED, OCS LIGHT WAS ON, INDICATION THAT SYSTEM WAS OFF. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF SYSTEM IS OFF AND ADULT PASSENGER IS SEATED.

BOUGHT CAR ON 12/30/17. UPON DRIVING HOME THE CAR SWERVED REPEATED INTO OTHER LANES. AS IT WAS SNOWING OUT, I DID NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. THEN ON 12/31/18 AND 1/1/18 I DID NOT DRIVE. ON 1/2/18 I EMAILED MY SALES REP AND INFORMED HIM OF THE SWERVING AND MY CONCERN FOR SAFETY. NO RESPONSE. THEN ON 1/3/18 I EMAILED JAKE WILLIAM AGAIN AND STILL NO RESPONSE. PS I HAVE COPIES OF ALL EMAILS. THEN ON 1/4/18 LIA CONTACTED ME ON MY EXPERIENCE. I INFORMED THEM AND THEN JAKE CALLED ME. HE INFORMED ME TO BRING TO CAR BACK FOR AN ALIGNMENT CHECK. I DID. SERVICE INFORMED ME MY NEWLY CERTIFIED CAR WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT. I DROVE IT HOME AND IMMEDIATELY INFORMED JAKE WILLIS IT WAS STILL PULLING BOTH SIDES. I TOLD HIM I AM BRINGING IT BACK TOMORROW 1/12/18 AND I WOULD NEED TO PURCHASE A DIFFERENT CAR. HE SAID I NEEDED TO SPEAK TO THE GYM. I SPOKE TO STEVE (GM) AT LIA INFINITI AND HE TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THAT IT THE WAY THE CAR RUNS. HHHMMM I NEED HELP WITH THIS. THE CAR STEERING IS NOT RIGHT. I HAVE SINCE LOOKED ON LINE TO FIND OUT THE INFINITI Q50 2014 HAS STEERING PROBLEM. WHAT CAN I DO?

CAMPERS. THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE ANY ALIGNMENT ISSUES. DOES NOT STEER LEFT OR RIGHT. NO POT HOLES ROLLED OVER. BUT THE CAR IS BURNING THE TIRES FROM THE INSIDE WEAR OF THE TIRES EQUALLY IN BOTH FRONT TIRES. INIFINITI DEALER SUGGESTED I BUY 4 NEW TIRES SINCE ALL FOUR ARE ABOUT THE SAME SINCE I HAVE BEEN ROTATING. AND THEY BLAME THE ALIGNMENT OF THE CAR. I SEE NO ISSUES WITH MY ALIGNMENT AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD UNDERNEATH THE CAR IT'S JUST OUT ON LINE.

Q50 BACKUP CAMERA MALFUNCTION. AFTER 3 YEARS AND 8 MONTHS (33000 MILES) THE BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAY STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY, IT OFTEN JUST SHOWS A BLACK OR WHITE SCREEN WITH NO VIEW BEHIND THE CAR WHEN PUT IN REVERSE, EVEN AFTER WAITING 60 OR MORE SECONDS FOR THE APPS TO LOAD OR REBOOTING THE SYSTEM AS SUGGESTED BY THE DEALER. MY INFINITI DEALER REPLACED THE DISPLAY MODULE BUT IT DIDN'T HELP. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS DAY OR NIGHT WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE. THE DEALER SAYS ACCORDING TO THE INFINITI TECH SUPPORT STAFF THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS SAYS ACCORDING TO THEIR TECH, "IT IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE". ITS NORMAL FOR THE CAMERA NOT TO WORK BECAUSE ITS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF Q50 VEHICLES. THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS SECOND INFINITI I HAVE OWNED BUT IT IS THE LAST. THEY DON'T HONOR THE FACTORY WARRANTY. I HAVE MULTIPLE VIDEOS OF THE PROBLEM.

AC IS BLOWING WARM AIR ON DRIVER SIDE AND COOL ON PASSENGER SIDE WHEN BOTH TEMPERATURE ARE SET TO 60 DEGREES.

I AM EXPERIENCING SOFTWARE RELATED ISSUES THAT HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS. IN SUM, THE INFINITI SOFTWARE SHUTS DOWN OR LOCKS UP FORCING ME TO BECOME AN IT TECHNICIAN WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE SOFTWARE SHUTS DOWN, I LOSE THE SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, CLIMATE CONTROL AND AUDIO CONTROL. HERE'S AN OVERVIEW OF MY EXPERIENCES FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS: RANDOMLY, THE SOFTWARE WILL SHUT DOWN LEAVING ME WITHOUT MY INSTRUMENT PANEL (SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER), CLIMATE CONTROL AND AUDIO CONTROL. RANDOMLY, THE SOFTWARE WILL LOCK UP LEAVING ME WITHOUT CLIMATE CONTROL OR AUDIO CONTROL AND THE ONLY RESOLUTION IS TO PULL OVER, SHUT DOWN AND RESTART THE CAR RANDOMLY, CLIMATE CONTROLS ARE SET TO 60 DEGREES W/ AC YET HOT AIR IS BLOWING OUT OF THE VENTS. MOST RECENTLY, THE ONBOARD CLOCK THAT DISPLAYS THE DATE AND TIME WILL RESET TO 01-01-2012 AND THE CLOCK WILL START AT 6:00 AM. THE ONLY RESOLUTION IS TO RESET THE DATE AND TIME. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR EVERY 3 OR 4 WEEKS. WHEN I CALL THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I'M ASKED TO BRING IN THE VEHICLE ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT ALL UPDATES HAVE BEEN APPLIED AND THE ISSUES CANNOT BE DUPLICATED. I HAVE TAKEN AND POSTED SEVERAL YOUTUBE VIDEOS SHOWING THE PROBLEMS-WHICH I'LL ADMIT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DO WHILE DRIVING. IN FACT, I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT WHEN THESE SOFTWARE ISSUES OCCUR, I AM FORCED TO PLAY THE ROLE OF AN IT TECHNICIAN AND TROUBLESHOOT THE ISSUES WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. THESE ISSUES OCCUR RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A LEASE VEHICLE AND I PLAN TO RETURN EARLY AS THE CONTINUED ISSUES PUT ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER.

MY INFINITI Q50 2014 HAS INTERMITTENT BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP FAILURE THAT CAUSES DIMINISHED BRAKING POWER AT ALL SPEEDS AND AT A SLIPS AT A STOP. THE DIMINISHED BRAKING AFFECTS STOPPING DISTANCES AND TRIGGERS EMERGENCY COLLISION WARNINGS AND IMPACT MITIGATION LIKE SEAT BELT TIGHTENING WHILE DRIVING. THE CONDITION HAS HAPPENED FOR THE LAST 24 MONTHS. INFINITI REFUSED TO ADDRESS UNTIL THEY WITNESSED THE CONDITION. IN LATE 2016 I WAS ABLE TO SHOW THEM WHEN IT WAS HAPPENING. THEIR TECH DIAGNOSED THE BRAKE BOOSTER AS THE ISSUE AND REPAIRED. IN MAY 2017 THE CONDITIONS ARE NOW REPEATING. INFINITI AGAIN IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS UNLESS THEY CAN WITNESS. THE CAR BRAKING IS UNSAFE WITH THIS CONDITION, PARTICULARLY AS YOU HAVE NO ABILITY TO KNOW WHEN THE INTERMITTENT CONDITION WILL OCCUR. I HAVE EMAIL TRAILS OF ALL REPORTS EACH ONE IT HAPPENED AND SERVICE COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE DEALERSHIP. UPDATED 10/11/17 *BF UPDATED 12/11/2017*JS

IT STARTED WITH A FLAT TIRE AND THE PSI LIGHT LITE UP ON BOARD AND FLAT TIRE ALSO, HAD THE FLAT TIRE FIXED AND TOOK CAR TO THE SHOP WHERE I GOT TIRES REPLACED, WITHIN A YEAR OF OWNERSHIP, REPLACED DUE TO THEM BEING BUBBLED GM REPLACED THEM FOR FREE; TOOK CAR TO (JUST TIRES GM RECOMMENDATION) WITH FREE TIRE BALANCE AND ROTATION AND THEY ALSO DID FRONT END ALIGNMENT, AFTER THAT LIGHTS WAS STILL ON AND SHOP REP SAID TO DRIVE THE CAR A COUPLE MILES AND IT WOULD RESET ITSELF SO I DID AND STILL LIGHT WAS ON DROVE TO CHURCH ON 4 LANE HWY 85 N BOUND AND I FELT A SLIGHT TUG ON THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND DECIDED TO MOVE OUT OF THE LANE BEHIND A 18 WHEELER AS I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE OUT OF MY LANE THE CAR MADE A SUDDEN JERK BACK IN THE LANE WHICH I WAS IN AND THE WHEEL LOCKED AND I COULD NOT CONTROL OR UNLOCK IT AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SPIN AND SLIDE INTO THE REAR END OF THE 18 WHEELER, THE SONAR SYSTEM WAS ENGAGED AND IT DID NOT RESPOND TO WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO, NOR DID THE LANE DEPARTURE INDICATOR, NOR THE ANTI-BRAKING ANTI SKIDDING WORK AS IT WAS DESIGNED WHICH CAUSED THE ACCIDENT WHICH LEAD ME GOING TO THE HOSPITAL WITH A DIAGNOSIS OF MUSCLE INFLAMMATION. THE SONAR FAILED WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. MY 2014 Q50 SEDAN WAS EQUIPPED WITH SONAR, LANE DEPARTURE, BLIND SPOT INDICATOR; IT WAS FULLY EQUIPPED. I AM VERY SURE THAT THE STEERING AND ANTI-BRAKING ANTI SKIDDING DID NOT ENGAGE AS IT SHOULD. INFINITI WILL SEND AN INSPECTOR TO THE TOTALED CAR AND PULL THE BLACK BOX/OR CHIP AND CHECK OUT WHAT WENT WRONG. WAITING ON THE RESULT ON OR AFTER JUNE 14 OR 16 AS OF THEIR DECISION.

DRIVER SEAT ASSEMBLY MALFUNCTION. JOINT IN THE SEAT FRAME IS POORLY CONSTRUCTED AND BECAME BENT. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT VIBRATES WHEN ON DRIVING, PERHAPS IMPROPER MOUNTING. THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY IS COMPROMISED. THE DRIVER SEAT MOVES FORWARD ABOUT A FEW DEGREES WHEN BRAKING HARD. SEAT IS NOT PROPERLY HINGED DOWN. DEALER REFUSES TO ADDRESS ISSUE DUE TO WARRANTY EXCUSES AND CLAIMS MECHANICAL ISSUES NOT COVERED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 INFINITI Q50. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND COLLIDED INTO A RESIDENTIAL BUILDING. THE CONTACT RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES AND RECEIVED MEDICAL TREATMENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FULLY DIAGNOSED. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

MY SUNROOF SHATTERED. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND WHEN WE CAME BACK IT WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED AND GLASS WAS EVERYWHERE. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF VANDALISM. IT JUST EXPLODED.

WITH THE VEHICLE STATIONARY, OR AT A VERY LOW SPEED, NOT SURE BUT IN A PARKING LOT. I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AFTER TRANSITIONING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT RATHER QUICKLY AND THE STEERING WHEEL CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP WITH A NOTICEABLE THUD SOUND. AFTER IT STOPPED I WAS ABLE THEN ABLE TO CONTINUE TURNING TO THE LEFT BUT MORE EFFORT WAS REQUIRED AND NOTICEABLY STEPPED FEEL TO THE MOVEMENT FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPED TWICE, AND HAVE EXPERIENCED THE STEPPED FEEDBACK ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS BUT IT TOOK A LOT LONGER FOR THE FEELING TO GO AWAY.

UNSAFE VIBRATION AND UNCONTROLLABLE STEERING WHEN BREAKING OVER 40 MPH. SONAR SENSORS DOESN'T NOT WORK AT ALL. WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY OR STREETS AND ABOVE 20 MPH WHEN BREAKING FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT THERE IS AN INTENSE VIBRATION THAT SHAKES THE CAR AND STEERING WHEEL, ALSO MAKE TURNING, CONTROLLING THE STEERING WHEEL AND STAYING IN THE LANE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT!

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE GAUGE CLUSTER COMPLETELY RESET ITSELF AND NONE OF MY GAUGES (INCLUDING TACH AND SPEEDO) WERE OPERATIONAL FOR A PERIOD OF APPROX 5 SECS UNTIL IS RESET ITSELF. ISSUE OCCURRED AT 8:45PM JAN 3RD, 2017 DURING RAINY CONDITIONS. TEMPERATURE ABOUT 45 DEGREES. HAD JUST COMPLETED A MEDIUM SWEEPING 90 DEGREE RIGHT HAND TURN AND WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT COMING OVER THE CREST OF A SMALL HILL. CAR WAS IN SPORT MODE AND MANUAL SHIFT MODE WITH 3RD GEAR SELECTED. SPEED WAS ABOUT 40MPH ON A COUNTY ROAD. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, PLEASE NOTE ONGOING BACKUP CAMERA ISSUES PREVIOUSLY REPORTED. *TR

THIS IS AN AWD CAR PURCHASED USED 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. THE CAR HAS ONLY 11, 000 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I WAS DRIVING IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC IN HEAVY SNOW CONDITIONS ON AN OVERPASS BRIDGE THAT MERGES ONTO A BUSY FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE'S FRONT WHEELS PULLED THE CAR TO LEFT 2-3 TIMES AT A SPEED OF LESS THAN 5MPH OUT OF MY LANE BUT I WAS ABLE TO CORRECT. WHILE STILL ON THE OVERPASS BRIDGE I TOOK MY FOOT OFF BRAKE TO INCH FORWARD (STILL IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC) AND STILL LESS THAN 5 MILES PER HR, HARDLY MOVING, THE CAR AGAIN PULLED HARD TO THE LEFT AND PULLED ME INTO A GUARDRAIL. IF THERE WAS NO GUARDRAIL I WOULD HAVE PLUMMETED TO THE FREEWAY BELOW. ALL THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT EVER PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AS I WAS IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC, SO I WAS BARELY MOVING. I HAD MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WITH ME. WE BOTH SAID THAT THE CAR ACTED ALL ON ITS OWN AND WE BOTH NOTICED THAT NO OTHER CARS WERE SLIPPING OR SPINNING OUT AT ALL. THE SNOW HAD JUST BEGAN TO FALL SO THERE WASN'T TOO MUCH ON THE ROAD MAYBE 1-2 INCHES (ESTIMATED). THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE DRIVERS SIDE BUMPER AND QUARTER PANEL (WHICH WE HAVE YET TO GET ESTIMATED). WE TOOK THE CAR INTO THE INFINITI DEALERSHIP, I HAD THEM RUN A DIAGNOSTICS ON THE COMPUTER. THEY SAID THERE WAS A FAULTY "CHASSIS CONTROL MODULE" THAT DETERMINES THE POWER APPLIED TO THE WHEELS AND WHICH ONES. THE SERVICE ADVISORS MECHANIC MENTIONED THAT THIS "MOST DEFINITELY COULD HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM WE EXPERIENCED". HE RECOMMENDED I CALL INFINITI'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND FILE A CLAIM. INFINITI ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO NOT WORK ON THE CAR, THEY SENT THEIR MECHANIC TO INVESTIGATE. THE CLOSED THE CASE AND SAID THE CAR HAD NO ISSUES AND REPLACED NOTHING AND RETURNED THE CAR BACK AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT. INFINITI WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AND WON'T PAY FOR BODY DAMAGE OR ANY REPAIR. *TR

THE TELEMATICS CONTROL UNIT MY 2014 INFINITI Q50 WILL BE INOPERABLE BY 12/31/16 BASED ON A NOTICE RECEIVED FROM INFINITI ON 12/6/16. INFINITI HAS INDICATED THIS IS BECAUSE ATT WILL DISCONTINUE SUPPORT OF THE 2G TECHNOLOGY THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO USE. HOWEVER, ATT ANNOUNCED 2G SUPPORT WOULD SUNSET TIMELINE WAY BACK IN 2012 - IN THIS PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT (HTTPS://WWW.SEC.GOV/ARCHIVES/EDGAR/DATA/732717/000073271712000073/Q2_10Q.HTM). WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING TCU, THE VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO PROVIDE AUTOMATIC COLLISION NOTIFICATION - WHICH WAS A FEATURE ADVERTISED ON THE VEHICLE. INFINITI WILL RESTORE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE TCU AFTER PAYMENT OF $299. GIVEN INFINITI WAS AWARE (OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN) 2G SUPPORT WOULD IMMINENTLY BE STOPPED, THIS FIX SHOULD BE MADE VIA A SERVICE CAMPAIGN/RECALL.

BACKUP CAMERA SOMETIMES FAILS TO INITIALIZE AFTER STARTING THE CAR. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T COME ON AT ALL (ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT), AND SOMETIMES IT COMES ON SO DIM AT NIGHT THAT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ANYTHING (THERE SEEMS TO BE A DAY [DIM] AND NIGHT [BRIGHT] BRIGNESS/CONTRAST MODE AND IT'S LIKE THE DAY MODE COMES ON EVEN THOUGH IT'S NIGHT). BACKUP CAMERA ALSO ALWAYS TAKES AT LEAST 30 SECONDS AFTER THE CAR STARTS UP TO SHOW THE GRIDLINES AND "CHECK YOUR SURROUNDINGS" WARNING MESSAGE. WELL BEYOND THE 6 SECS RECOMMENDED BY THE NHTSA. INFINITI CLAIMS THAT THE CAMERA IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED AND CAN TAKE UP TO 90 SECONDS TO LOAD. I NEVER HAVE GRIDLINES OR THE PROPER WARNING LINES WHEN I BACK OUT OF A SPACE (THE SYSTEM IS SIMPLY TOO SLOW). THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME AS THE CAMERA DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK AT NIGHT WHEN I NEED IT THE MOST. EVEN MORE CONCERNING IS INFINITI'S COMPLETE REFUSAL TO INVESTIGATE AND REMEDY EITHER OF THE 2 SAFETY ISSUES I AM CURRENTLY WRITING COMPLAINTS ABOUT (THIS BACKUP CAMERA ISSUE, AND THE ISSUE WITH MY BRAKES WEARING OUT WAY TOO EARLY)

REAR BRAKE PAD LIFE IS DANGEROUSLY SHORT. I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE SQUEALING AND VIBRATION UPON BRAKING AFTER ONLY 25,000 MILES. THERE IS NO SUGGESTED REPLACEMENT INTERVAL SO I COULD EASILY SEE SOMEONE IGNORING THE SYMPTOMS OR PUTTING OFF THE PAD REPLACEMENT (MOST PEOPLE EXPECT PADS TO LAST AT LEAST 30,000 MILES). THERE ARE ALSO NO WEAR SENSORS FOR THE REAR BRAKES. SOMEONE COULD EASILY WEAR THROUGH THE PADS AND HAVE A DANGEROUS REAR BRAKE FAILURE SINCE THERE IS NO DISCLOSURE PROVIDED BY INFINITI OF HOW SHORT THE REAR PAD LIFE REALLY IS.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 INFINITI Q50. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE DEALER DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO DO THE RECALL, 16V-244. I ASKED WHEN THEY WOULD AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW.

MY 2014 INFINITI Q50 SPORT HAS AN UNRESOLVED REOCCURRING PROBLEM WERE AFTER APROX. 20 MILES OF DRIVING THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL SINK SUBSTANTIALLY TOWARDS THE FLOOR AFTER BRAKING. AS THE CAR WILL STILL STOP AFTER THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE BRAKING DISTANCE IS LONGER THAN NORMAL AND THE FEELING OF SECURITY IS GREATLY REDUCED. TO DATE THE CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME A FULL BRAKE JOB WAS PERFORMED AT MY EXPENSE. WITHIN A COUPLE MONTHS OF THE BRAKE JOB THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER IN JULY 2016 FOR FURTHER EVALUATION. AFTER 2 DAYS OF SHORT TRIAL ROAD TESTING THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME WITH THE EXPLANATION THAT THE DEALERSHIP "COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE" ONE WEEK AFTER THAT THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN AND I LIMPED THE CAR BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AS THE PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING. THEY SEMI ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE AND PROCEEDED TO ORDER A NEW MASTER CYLINDER THAT TOOK 1 MONTH TO COME IN AND GET INSTALLED. I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK ON 8/11/2016 AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE PEDAL WAS STILL LOWER THAN NORMAL BUT OPERATIONAL. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 50 MILES ON OPEN HIGHWAY THE PROBLEM REOCCURRED AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT LIES NOW WITH NO RESOLVE. AT THIS POINT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND THE MANY PAST RECALL ISSUES INVOLVING AIR BAGS AND THE ELECTRONIC STEERING SYSTEM. AT THIS POINT I AM LOOKING AT TURNING THE CAR IN WITH 10 REMAINING LEASE MONTHS LEFT AT AN EXPENSE OF $7,000.00. I AM NOT WILLING TO PUT MY LIFE OR THE LIVES OF MY LOVED ONES IN JEOPARDY.

PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

DAS (DIRECT ADAPTIVE STEERING) STEER BY WIRE SYSTEM LOSES CALIBRATION WHICH CAUSES STEERING LOSS. DEALERS RE-CALIBRATE SYSTEM BUT CALIBRATION LOSS CONTINUES. FAULTS AND ERRORS DON'T REGISTER AND BACKUP STEERING SYSTEM DOES NOT ENGAGE AS THE FAULT IN THE SYSTEM IS NOT TRIGGERED BUT MAKES THE CAR UNDRIVEABLE AND CREATES A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHEN CALIBRATION CAUSES THE CAR TO STEER (TURN) WITHOUT TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS HAPPENS FROM START AND IN MOTION, BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY. IN MY EXPERIENCE ALWAYS DURING WARM WEATHER AND WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT.

IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE CAR. SPECIALLY DURING CURVES/TURNING. A LOT OF FORCE MUST BE MAINTAINED IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CARS WANTS TO GO OPPOSITE TO THE DIRECTION BEING MANIPULATED BY THE DRIVER IN THE STEERING WHEEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 INFINITI Q50. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN JUNE OF 2016.

I HAVE A 2014 INFINITI Q50 SX AWD WITH RUN FLAT TIRES I.E. DUNLOP SP SPORT 5000 DSST CTT 245/40R19 ..THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS PRONE TO FAILURE FROM THE SLIGHTEST POT IF YOU SHOULD HIT ONE. AT LESS THAN 4K MILES I HAD A TIRE FAILURE AND JUST RECENTTLY ANOTHER FAILURE AAAAAT 14K MILES. I HAVE NEVER HAD TIRE PROBLEMS WITH ANY OF MY PREVIOUS AUTOMOBILES. PLEASE, LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE WHEN I DRIVE THIS CAR AND STILL HAVE 2 YEARS LEFT ON MY LEASE. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, IT HAS LOCKED UP ON ME. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT IN BECAUSE MY CAR LOCKED UP ON ME AFTER COMING OFF AN HIGHWAY AND I WAS HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. I TOOK IT BACK TO INFINITI WHO CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE. EVEN THOUGH I POINTED THEM TO SCORES AND SCORES OF SIMILAR ISSUES BEING REPORTED ON THE INTERNET. INFINITI'S RESPONSE WAS "ANYONE CAN WRITE ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET". I THOUGHT THIS COMMENT WAS INSENSITIVE AND DOWNRIGHT RIDICULOUS. EVEN THOUGH ANYONE CAN WRITE ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET, MOST PEOPLE WOULD NOT GET ON THE INTERNET TO COMPLAIN ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH THEIR CAR THAT WAS NOT TRUE - WHAT WOULD THEY GET OUT OF IT??INFINITI'S CAVALIER ATTITUDE HAS SHOCKED ME SINCE MY FAMILY HAVE BOUGHT FIVE INFINITIS FROM THEM OVER THE YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THESE TYPES OF COMPLAINT. ADDITIONALLY THIS TYPE OF ISSUE COULD KILL FOLKS! IS INFINITI TRYING TO BALANCE LIVES AGAINST A RECALL THAT'S NEEDED......I AM SHOCKED AND APALLED!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET WITH NO OTHER TRAFFIC, I HEARD A PROGRESSIVE CRACKING NOISE FROM THE MOON ROOF AREA. AFTER PULLING BACK THE SUN SHADE I SAW THAT THE MOON ROOF HAD CRACKS THROUGHOUT IT BUT WAS STILL ALMOST ENTIRELY IN PLACE. THE MOON ROOF WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE, I SAW THAT A SMALL SECTION OF GLASS WAS MISSING. THE SECTION WAS ALONG THE ACTUATOR BAR OF THE SUNROOF AND THERE WERE PIECES OF GLASS ON THE ROOF ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE REMAINING INTACT SECTION WAS BOWED UPWARD AND OUTWARD. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES IN THE AREA THAT COULD HAVE KICKED UP ROAD DEBRIS, NO IMPACT WAS HEARD AND NO POTENTIAL IMPACT ITEMS WERE FOUND.

I WAS BACKING UP INTO A SPACE AND LOST COMPLETE STEERING - AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNING FREELY AND THE FRONT TIRES REMAINED IN THE POSITION THEY WERE IN JUST PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. I STOPPED THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, I CONTINUED BACKING UP BUT FELT THE TORQUE OF THE STEERING WHEEL ALTERNATING BETWEEN POWER STEERING AND MANUAL STEERING. ...UPDATED 12/03/15 *BF

STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO RESPOND. WHEELS FELT DISCONNECTED WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. IT COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC IF I WAS DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED.....UPDATED 12/03/15 *BF THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. UPDATED 12/07/15.*JB
