2014 INFINITI Q50 Complaints

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!!

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 INFINITI Q50 HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE "CHASSIS SYSTEM MALFUNCTION" MESSAGE DISPLAYED AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE DEALER (RAY CATENA INFINITI IN EDISON, NEW JERSEY) WAS NOTIFIED, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

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.

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.

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?
