2015 Infiniti Q50

TURNED THE VEHICLE ON, PULLED OUT OF PARKING SPOT AND HEARD A NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AS STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED. THE STEERING WAS VERY TIGHT AND THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. AS THE SPEED INCREASED, THE STEERING LOOSENED, AND AS THE VEHICLE DECELERATED, THE VEHICLE BECAME NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO MANEUVER. THE POWER STEERING FLUID IS FULL, AND THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION. THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS OR INCIDENTS PRIOR TO THIS ISSUE, AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED WITHOUT ISSUE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT.

I WAS SIMPLY DRIVING ON THE STREET WHEN MY VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD CAUSING CARS TO ALMOST HIT ME. I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT BUT INFINITI HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE EMERGENCY SHUT OFF WAS ACTIVATED FOR UNKNOWN REASON CAUSING MY AC COMPRESSOR TO BLOW AND ENTIRE FUSE BOX TO BE DESTROYED. MY CAR ONLY HAS 70K MILES ON IT SO THIS A SAFETY HAZARD. THESE PARTS NEED TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY THERE'S NO LEGITIMATE REASON FOR A NEW CAR TO DO THIS. ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL THE EMERGENCY SHUT OF FOR INFINITI HYBRIDS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN INVOLVED IN MAJOR CAR ACCIDENTS. THIS IS NOT RIGHT.

MY VEHICLE HAS AN OPTIONAL TECH PACKAGE THAT PROVIDES FORWARD BRAKING, LANE DEPARTURE AND BACKUP BRAKING. APPARENTLY WHEN I HIT A POTHOLE, THESE SAFETY FEATURES OCCASIONALLY TURN OFF. IV'E HAD THESE CAR FOR 4 1/2 YEARS AND BECAME AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. I'M HAVE BECOME DEPENDENT ON THESE SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS AND NO-LONGER FEEL COMFORTABLE WHEN DRIVING. I HAVE COMPLAINED THE DEALERSHIP SINCE NOVEMBER 19 AND STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A POSITIVE RESPONSE ALL I WANT IS TO HAVE A WORKING SAFETY SYSTEM..

ENGINE AND/OR TRANSMISSION LOST TORQUE POWER. SINCE 2016 WHILE CAR ONLY HAD 11,000 MILES ALL OF THE SUDDEN CAR LOST TORQUE POWER WHILE ACCELERATING. CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR HAS NEVER LIGHT UP AND DEALER CONSULT SCANNER HAS NEVER FOUND THE ISSUE. STILL CAR DOESNT HAVE SAME ACCELERATION NOR TORQUE WHILE GOING 0-60MPH. ALREADY I'VE SEEN SO FAR 4 CARS OF THE SAME YEAR WITH SPEED SENSOR PROBLEMS AND REPLACEMENT. MECHANICS SAY IT BEGINS BY LOOSING POWER UNTIL STOPS WORKING AND CAR WONT MOVE.

CARS STEERING WHEEL WILL CLUNK AND TURN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS WILL REVERSING INTO PARKING SPOTS OR SLOWLY TAKING OFF FROM BEING STATIONARY. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF 4 MONTHS AND I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT 7. LAST NIGHT I WAS PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHARPLY TURNED RIGHT, I SHIFTED THE CAR TO PARK, AND THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY DIED. NOTHING HAD WORKED AT THAT POINT, NO LIGHTS, IGNITION, KEYS, NOTHING. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND SHUT THE DRIVER DOOR AND EVERYTHING TURNED BACK ON EXCEPT NOW THE STEERING WHEEL WON'T TURN UNLESS USING UNREASONABLE FORCE. POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, CHASSIS CONTROL. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON MY TEST DRIVE WITH THE VEHICLE IN DECEMBER OF 2018 WITH 54,000 MILES BEFORE PURCHASING . THE STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY TWITCHED AND I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN TO THE DEALER AND HE SAID IT WAS NORMAL. IT WAS VERY LIGHTLY THAT YOU COULD HARDLY TELL IT DID IT SO I WASN'T SUSPICIOUS OF THE CAR HAVING PROBLEMS. THIS HAS NOT ALMOST CAUSED IN ACCIDENTS BUT I HAVE A 3 MONTH OLD GIRL AND THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND ALSO MY ONLY CAR.

I HAVE A 2015 INFINITI Q50. I BELIEVE I'M EXPERIENCING THE SAME FUEL PUMP ECO MODE PROBLEM AS THE 2016-2017 Q50. ME, MY WIFE AND NEWBORN DAUGHTER WERE ON OUR WAY HOME ON THE EXPRESS WAY DURING RUSH HOUR IN ECO MODE WITH APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES BEFORE EMPTY, WE WERE ABOUT 2 MILES AWAY FROM THE NEAREST FUEL STATION. WE WERE TRAVELING EAST DOING ABOUT 40 MPH DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN MY Q50 STARTED TO BOG DOWN AND THEN EVENTUALLY STALLED . LUCKILY WE WERE RIGHT NEXT TO THE SHOULDER. I PULL OVER POP THE HOOD LOOKED EVERYTHING OVER AND ALL SEEMED FINE. TRIED TO RESTART AND CAR WOULD TURN OVER, START, AND THEN STALL AS IF THERE WAS ISN'T ANY GAS IN THE CAR. AFTER CALLING MY FATHER IN LAW , WHILE WAITING, I LOOKED UP THE SYMPTOMS AND SAW THE SAME ISSUE IN THE 2016-17 MODELS, RECALL #17V476000 RECALL DATE 07/27/2017 COMPONENT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: SOFTWARE. I MEAN SYMPTOMS WERE SPOT ON EXACT. I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AS I'M PROBABLY NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH A 2015 Q50 EXPERIENCING THIS. WITH THE CALIPER OF THIS CAR THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AND I MOST DEFINITELY DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN WHILE MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER ARE TRAVELING TOGETHER WITHOUT ME. I ALSO CALLED THE INFINITI DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO ONLY MAKE ME FEEL LIKE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH IT. PLEASE HELP SAFE CAR.GOV
