2014 INFINITI Q50 Complaints

I PURCHASED A 2014 INFINITI Q50 NEW FROM THE DEALER. THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 6,500 MILES ON IT WHEN THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE SIDE WALL CRACKED. THE REPAIR SHOP NOTICED THAT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE HAD A BUBBLE AND ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. BOTH FRONT TIRES WERE REPLACED THE WEEK OF 5/17/15. ONE MONTH AFTER THE REPLACEMENT ON 6/24/15, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE SIDEWALL CRACKED AGAIN.

I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE TIRES ON MY INFINITI Q50. THEY ARE DUNLOP P245/40 RF19 DOT U28T. I HAVE 20,500 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND HAVE BLOWN 6 TIRES. ALL TIRE FAILURES HAVE BEEN CAUSE BY THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRES BLOWING OUT. THE MOST RECENT EVENT HAPPENED 6/4/2015 AND THE TIRE WAS IN SERVICE SINCE 4/18/2015. ALL FOUR ORIGINAL TIRES FAILED AND NOW TWO MORE HAVE FAILED. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE I HAVE AGAINST THE TIRE MANUFACTURER AND/OR CAR MANUFACTURER. THESE ARE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE TIRES AND SHOULD NOT BE SOLD.

I WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH ON A STRAIGHT PARKWAY WITH ONE HAND LOOSELY ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WHEEL WENT TO THE RIGHT AS DID THE FRONT WHEELS AS IF I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. I PULLED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT IN ORDER TO CONTINUE GOING STRAIGHT AND PLACED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. A FEW SECONDS LATER, I INTENTIONALLY TOOK MY HANDS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL AND, AGAIN, THE CAR WANTED TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. THIS PHENOMENON WITH THE STEERING LASTED ABOUT 15 MINUTES AT WHICH TIME THE STEERING WAS NORMAL. ..UPDATED 05/07/15 *BF UPDATED 9/16/2015 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 INFINITI Q50 HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, WHILE GOING INTO A RIGHT CURVE THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED TO THE LEFT WITHOUT WARNING. THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO A GUARDRAIL. THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND ACTIVE LANE CONTROL SYSTEMS WERE ACTIVATED AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. THE DRIVER STATED THAT THE ROADS WERE TREATED DUE TO THE INCLIMATE WEATHER, WHICH HE FELT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE CRASH. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.

FIRST INCIDENT OF THIS HAPPENING WAS DURING A TRIP TO WHITE PLAINS, WHERE THE NAVI AND INFO TOUCH SYSTEM WOULD RANDOMLY RESTART. WITHIN THE 45 MINUTE DRIVE THE SYSTEM HAS RESTARTED TWICE ON ME, AND AT THE MOST INCONVENIENT TIMES, WHERE I REALLY NEEDED TO SEE THE DIRECTIONS. I DIDN'T PAY IT ANY MIND AT FIRST SINCE IT WAS ESSENTIALLY AN ELECTRONIC ITEM AND LIKE ALL ELECTRONICS, IT REBOOTS FROM TIME TO TIME. BUT NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT IT HAS BEEN MORE THEN INCONVENIENT, TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS USELESS. I HAVE USED THE NAVI SYSTEM ON MY PHONE MORE THEN THE NAVI SYSTEM ITSELF, BECAUSE IT IS UNRELIABLE! I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE ALREADY AND ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP "IF WE CAN'T REPRODUCE THE ISSUE, INFINITI WON'T TROUBLESHOOT IT". EVEN THOUGH I HAVE VIDEO FOOTAGES OF THE ISSUE HAPPENING AS I WAS DRIVING, IN DIFFERENT TIME STAMPS AND LOCATIONS. UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T HAVE EVERY INCIDENT, BECAUSE I USE MY PHONE AS MY MAIN NAVIGATION SYSTEM. THEY STATED THIS IS NATURAL FOR THE SYSTEM TO REBOOT AT LEAST 2 TO 3 TIMES A MONTH, WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE, BUT 2 TO 3 TIMES A DAY? I HAVE LEASED 2 OTHER INFINITI'S PRIOR TO THIS Q50 AND LOVED THEM ALL, BUT NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. THE ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING. *TR
