FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
I PROCEEDED FROM A STOP SIGN AND ONCE I MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION WHICH WAS LESS THAN A 1/4 MILE THE CAR STARTED SPUTTERING ONCE I PULLED IN THE YARD. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SO I LEFT TO GO BACK TO MY HOUSE AND IT STARTED ACTING FINE. I COULD SMELL FULL IN THE CABIN. I WAS COMING HOME ONE NIGHT AND IT DID THE SAME THING EXCEPT THE ENGINE LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON. THIS IS THE SECOND Q50 THAT HAS DONE THIS. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO COME GET THE FIRST ONE BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T CRANK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
OUR FRONT RIGHT BUMPER WAS JUST SLIGHTLY DAMAGED WHEN BACK OUT OF OUR GARAGE. IT WAS VERY MILD COSMETIC DAMAGE THAT OCCURRED AT ONLY A SPEED OF PERHAPS 5 MPH. ORIGINAL BODY WORK ESTIMATES CAME IN AT $2,000 ONLY TO SPIRAL OUT OF CONTROL WITH THE STEERING MODULES BEING REPLACED THEM STEERING RACK BEFORE THE CAR WAS ULTIMATELY TOTALED AS THE STEERING PROGRAMMING WAS STILL OFF. UPON RESEARCH WE FOUND OUT THAT THIS PARTICULAR MODEL WAS PLAGUED WITH ELECTRONIC STEERING ISSUES WHICH APPEARED TO BE ADDRESSED UNDER MULTIPLE RECALLS. THE INSURANCE COMPANY STATED THAT THEY HAVE VIDEOS OF THE STEERING WHEEL GOING CRAZY BACK AND FORTH WILDLY AFTER THE MODULES WERE REPLACED. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT SUCH AN INSIGNIFICANT BUMP COULD NOT ONLY RESULT IN TOTALING A VEHICLE BUT COULD JEOPARDIZE A DRIVER'S SAFETY WITH THE STEERING ISSUES.

STEERING
WHEN STARTING UP FROM BEING PARKED THE WHEELS STEER THE CAR TO THE RIGHT WHILE I HAVE TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO KEEP THE CAR DRIVING STRAIGHT. THE MOMENT I REMOVE THE PRESSURE FROM PULLING THE WHEEL LEFT THE CAR TAKES AN IMMEDIATE RIGHT TURN. THIS IS NOT A FRONT END ALIGNMENT ISSUE AS THE PROBLEM WILL CORRECT ITSELF. IT HAS TAKEN AS SHORT AS A COUPLE OF MILES OR AS LONG AS A FEW SHORT TRIPS FOR IT TO CORRECT ITSELF. IT HAS HAPPENED FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS SAFETY ISSUE STARTED WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS STILL WARM. WHEN THE STEERING DOES CORRECT ITSELF I CAN FEEL THE STEERING WHEEL BEING PULLED TO THE RIGHT AND THEN THE CAR DRIVES STRAIGHT AGAIN WITHOUT ME APPLYING PULLING PRESSURE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

POWER TRAIN
ON SEPTEMBER 5TH, I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 INFINITI Q50 AND ONCE IT REACHED 2ND OR 3RD GEAR, THE TRANSMISSION REVVED UP AND THE CAR LOCKED THE TIRES UP AND THREW US FORWARD LIKE IT WAS SLAMMED INTO A LOW GEAR. I HAD TO TOW THE CAR HOME 400 MILES AND DROPPED IT OFF AT THE INFINITI DEALER ON SEPTEMBER 7TH 2020. AS OF OCTOBER 24TH 2020, I STILL DON'T HAVE MY CAR BACK. I WAS INFORMED BY THE PARTS MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WERE OVER 700 VALVE BODY'S ON BACKORDER. HE CLAIMED THAT NISSAN/INFINITI WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WAS BEING VERY PICKY WITH THE QUALITY CONTROL OF THE NEW PARTS TO INSURE THERE WOULD BE NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THEY ARE QUOTING $2400 PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX THE CAR. WAS ADVISED BY THE PARTS MANAGER TO CONTACT INFINITI CUSTOMER AFFAIRS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WAS DRIVING MY INFINITI Q50 ON A NORMAL DRY DAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT DOWN SHIFTED OR FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING A STANDARD MODEL VS AUTOMATIC... I PULL OVER MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON.. I TURNED OFF ALL SENSORS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTELLITOUCH SYSTEM THINKING IT WAS NOT JUDGING THE DISTANCE CORRECTLY BETWEEN CARS BECAUSE IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY SLOW YOUR CAR DOWN... CONTINUED DRIVING AND I'M NOTICING AS I TRY TO ACCELERATE MY CAR IS NOT SHIFTING INTO 3RD GEAR... SO I GET TO ABOUT 35-40 MPH AND NOW I CAN TELL IT'S REVVING IN THE SAME GEAR..GET HOME GOOGLE THE ISSUE AND IT SEEMS THE VALVE BODY ON THE 2015 Q50 HAS A THREAD... GO TO YOUTUBE THIS GUY HAS A VIDEO ABOUT HIM BEING TOLD IT'S THE SPEED SENSORS... BUT WHEN HE WENT FOR REPAIR INFINITI INFORMS HIM THE VALVE BODY NEEDS REPLACING. I TOOK MY CAR INTO AN INFINITI DEALER , SPENT $180 TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC RUN AND WAS TOLD THEIR IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE SPEED SENSORS THAT THEY SHOULD JUST REPLACE THE VALVE BODY. THE VALVE BODY IS $1635 AND ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER AS OF AUGUST 2020 WHEN I'M EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE.. CALLED INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND I'M TOLD WELL UNLESS YOU PAY FOR THE PART WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO GET IT EXPEDITED... IT'S BEEN 45 DAYS... SO I HAVE TO TIE UP $1700 AND DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS PART MAY BE AVAILABLE.. CAN'T DRIVE CAR BECAUSE I'LL BURN MY TRANSMISSION UP... THE VALVE BODY IN 2015 Q50'S NEED TO BE RECALLED...I COULD HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY OR DRIVING TO OR FROM LOUISIANA FROM HOUSTON.. LUCKILY I WAS WITHIN 15 MILES OF MY HOME.. CALLED THE OTHER 2 INFINITI DEALERS IN HOUSTON NONE OF THEM HAVE IT IN STOCK AND HAVE AT LEAST 1 Q50 WAITING FOR REPAIR.. CALLED THE DEALER IN AUSTIN ALSO NO STOCK WITH 2 VALVE BODIES ON RESERVE... I HAVE 106000 MILES ON MY Q50 AND IT'S NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED AT FEWER MILES LIKE 30K-50K SO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AGE OF THE CAR.

ENGINE
ON 6/13/2020 THE DRIVE BELT SHREDDED WHILE DRIVING UNDER 30MPH, UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION. AT FIRST, THE BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, FOLLOWED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WHITE SMOKE BEGAN TO COME FROM THE ENGINE. THANKFULLY, I WAS NEARBY MY HOUSE AND MADE IT THERE SAFELY. FURTHERMORE, THE ENGINE OVERHEATED DUE TO A COOLANT HOSE BEING KNOCKED OFF BY THE SHREDDED BELT. ADDITIONALLY, THE WATER PUMP AND A/C COMPRESSOR FAILED. THE PULLEY TENSIONER ASSEMBLY AND BELT WERE REPLACED UNDER MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY, ALONG WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED FAILED COMPONENTS. ALL WORK WAS DONE AT GRUBBS INFINITI OF GRAPEVINE, TX AND THE REPAIR TOOK EXACTLY THREE WEEKS TO FIX. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,660. PREVIOUSLY, ON MARCH 6, 2019, INFINITI OF VAN NUYS, CA, TIGHTENED THE PULLEY TENSIONER ASSEMBLY DUE TO A SQUEAKING NOISE I WAS HEARING WHILE ACCELERATING. VEHICLE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,000. I WAS INFORMED THAT IF I HADN'T HAD THIS ISSUE FIXED BEFORE MY DRIVE BACK TO TEXAS, MY DRIVE BELT COULD HAVE SHREDDED. AFTER THE DEALER ADDRESSED THE CONCERN NO FURTHER NOISE WAS HEARD AT ALL. THE DEALER ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN AND HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED IN INFINITI SERVICE BULLETINS. ALTHOUGH, THIS POSES A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE STALLED AT HIGH SPEED RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT AND OR LOSS OF LIFE. I WORRY THIS ISSUE WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. TWO TIMES, TWO MANY!
