2014 INFINITI Q50 Complaints

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

ON A USUAL MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK IN NH DRIVING MY Q50 HYBRID SPORT AND APROX. 2 MILES FROM GETTING OFF THE 93 INTERSTATE MY CAR SUDDENDLY PULL ME FROM THE LEFT LANE TO THE RIGHT ONE! SO HARD, I COULD NOT CONTROL IT AND ENDED UP HITTING THE CONCRETE FENCE ON THE REST LANE. THE CRASH WAS SO BAD THAT CAR SPINS AND STOP RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 2 ONLY LANES OF THAT ROUTE WITH THE WHOLE LEFT DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR EXPOSED TO THE UPCOMING TRAFFIC. ONE GUY DRIVING A DODGE RAM HIT ME RIGHT IN THE CENTER. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT I HAD MY SEAT BEALT ON AND THE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. LUCKY ME, I JUST SUFFERED MUSCLE PAIN ON MY LEFT ARM, NECK AND BACK. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND TRAUMATIC. I JUST HAD THE CAR FOR 3 MONTH AND IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. IT IS SO DISSAPOINTING THAT I DECIDED TO INVEST IN SOMETHING MODERN, RELIABLE AND WITH ALL THE SECURITY PCKG AND THIS HAPPENED. WHEN THE CAR DID THIS, DIDNT ADVISE ME OF ANYTHING ON THAT MORNING, NO LIGHTS ON OR ANYTHING TO BE CHECKED ON, NEITHER A BEEP WHEN THE CAR WAS CHANGING LANE ETC..IT WAS LIKE A SUICIDAL TURN! IT COULD OF BEEN WORST..EITHER ME HITTING ANOTHER INNOCENT OR A BIG TRUCK COULD OF KILLED ME RIGHT THERE AT THE SCENE AND NOBODY WOULD OF KNOW OF THIS. I SWEAR I WASN'T SPEEDING OR ANYTHING. I AGAIN REPEAT, THE CAR PULL/SWERVE ME ABRUPTLY TO THE RIGHT SIDE. NOBODY BELIEVES ME, I REMEMBER EVEN THE POLICE OFFICER ASKING ME ABOUT THE HORSE POWERS?!! NOT VERY APPROPIATE. THEN MY WIFE AND I DID AN ONLINE SEARCH AND FOUND THOSE RECALLS AND THEN OTHER PEOPLE MENTIONING THEIR EXPERIENCES HERE. IT IS SO FRUSTRATING THAT WE COULD NOT PROVE OF THIS AND THE INFINITI DOESNT WANT TO ADRESS THIS PROBLEM, IT IS LIKE THEY'RE WAITING FOR SOME ONE TO DIE, TO FINALLY DO SOMETHING. SHAME!!!
