2015 Infiniti Q50

P0500 vehicle speed sen/cir P0720 a/t veh speed sen/ circuit-or- output speed sensor P1574 ascd vhcl apps sensor - or lcc vhl spd sen (icc models) My safety was put at risk when the vehicle hesitated and stop changing gears while traffic was behind me. The vehicle was inspected by a local dealership which was Nissan and also Infiniti including a transmission shop named ammco. There were no warning lights that would indicate the vehicle was failing until April the 5th

Transmission valve body failed and is a common problem for 2014-2016 I was on a busy road and the car threw check engine light and wouldn’t accelerate any more. I risked my safety and others because I was stopped in the middle of the road and lots of commuters passing by and the vehicle was fully registered and inspected by the state prior that happened but it’s a common problem that you’ll never know when it will fail.

The valve body went bad at 164k miles. Im not the only one. On all the forums and fb groups im on, there are hundreds of valv bodys going bad on the q50s for this general area of the year. On my facebook group i have seen 4 people in the past 2 days with theirs going out. Code p0720. Mine is being hauled to the shop right now so i dont have paperwork of replacement at this time for a few days

Power steering failed while driving in parking lot looking for parking spot. Unable to turn wheel without hitting parked car. I was able to drive to end of the lot where there were less cars. Noticed that I was able to turn wheel so long as didn’t step on brakes. The steering wheel was also off alignment. This happed on a Saturday evening, next day car was fine all the warning were off. Spoke to service person explained what happened. He basically said if the car is running fine they can check it out but may not find the problem. Since the car was running fine until it wasn’t. Car was parked in garage turned on the car all warning lights go on. Made appointment for 4/3/24 drove car to dealership which is not to far. The warning lights still on and no power steering.

Drove that evening and front splash guard fall off had to tie wrap to hold whatever pieces are left. Took it to dealership they took no responsibility. I will need to replace it. I have all my receipts from them they are the only ones who have worked on my vehicle.

My engine light came on at 115,946 miles causing my vehicle not to accelerate or shift properly which could have resulted in a accident. The vehicle was diagnosed at local Nissan dealership with code P0720 and P0500 stating vehicle need a transmission. Prior to this diagnose this vehicle was diagnose twice by a Nissan and Infiniti dealership concerning the shifting and acceleration issues but could not duplicate the issue at the time. I see where numerous car buyers are stating they’re having the same issues with the Infiniti brand at low miles and high miles.
