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.

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.

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.

WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MILES PER HOUR ON 4/1/16 IN SOUTHERN WISCONSIN MY Q50 HYBRID WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY PULLED TO THE RIGHT AND BEGAN HEAVY SHUTTERING ON THE RIGHT SIDE. I HAD TO AGGRESSIVELY HOLD THE WHEEL BETWEEN THE NINE AND TEN O'CLOCK POSITION TO KEEP THE CAR GOING STRAIGHT AND THE CAR FOUGHT ME AND WANTED TO STRONGLY KEEP PULLING RIGHT. THE RIGHT SIGHT OF THE CAR ALSO FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WERE BEING PULSED OR APPLIED WITHOUT MY INTERVENTION WHICH MADE KEEPING THE CAR IN-LANE EVEN MORE DIFFICULT. THE PULL TO THE RIGHT WAS SO SUDDEN THAT THE CAR WAS DIRECTED INTO THE NEXT LANE - THANKFULLY NO CAR WAS PRESENT. I THOUGHT A TIRE WAS BLOWN OUT SO AFTER PULLING THE CAR OVER FOR INSPECTION ALL 4 TIRES WERE FINE. I TRIED DRIVING THE CAR AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE, SO I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED 90 MILES FOR SERVICE. MY Q50 HAS ABOUT 16,000 MILES AND I AM STILL AWAITING A FULL REPORT FROM THE DEALERSHIP. TEMPERATURE AT TIME OF ISSUE APPROX 45F TIME 2:30 PM CDT

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HAVE OWNED MY CAR FOR ABOUT 2.5 YEARS AND DRIVEN ABOUT 27,000 MILES. IN THIS TIME I HAVE HAD 7 TIRES FAIL. FIVE WERE BLOWOUTS ON THE ROAD AND TWO I CAUGHT WITH BUBBLES IN THE TIRE. I HAVE NEVER HAD A BLOWOUT ON ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED FOR 35 YEARS. THE TIRES ARE VERY LOW PROFILE AND SEEM TO BE VERY SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE SIDEWALLS FAILING. SEVERAL OF THE BLOWOUTS HAVE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I WAS GOING 55-65MPH WHICH IS WHY I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THAT OTHER OWNERS ARE BRINGING IN THE SAME CAR WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND WHEN SPEAKING TO INFINITI CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS COMMON TO OCCUR IN THE NORTHEAST OF THE COUNTRY.
