SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH WITH ACTIVE CRUISE ENGAGED. THE INSTRUMENTATION ALL WENT BLACK, CRUISE CONTROL RELEASED BUT ENGINE CONTINUED RUNNING AND I USED MANUAL ACCELERATION IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN SPEED IN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS THE SYSTEM RE BOOTED. INSTRUMENTATION CAME BACK ON AND I RESET ACTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND ALL APPEARED OK. AFTER A FEW DAYS WE WERE RETURNING HOME AND AS DESCRIBED EARLIER THE SAME EVENT OCCURRED ON THE INTERSTATE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, DESCRIBED THE INCIDENT, THY REPORTED THEY HAD SEEN THAT BEFORE, CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND SAW NO CODES AND SAID IT MUST HAVE BEEN A SYSTEM REBOOT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE PHONE/BLUETOOTH CONSTANTLY DISCONNECT DEVICES THAT ARE ADDED TO BLUETOOTH. OFTEN WHEN CALLS ARE MADE FROM YOUR CELL THROUGH BLUETOOTH, THERE IS A FRYING/STATIC SOUND THAT OCCURS. YOU HAVE TO HANG UP AND PLACE YOUR CALL AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHILE DRIVING AND STATIONARY.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE IN A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT, AFTER GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP AND MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN INTO THE SPOT THE CAR ACCELERATED AND WOULD NOT STOP. PUSHING ON THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. CAR HAS A SYSTEM TO PREVENT CRASHING IN TO AN OBJECT IN FRONT OF THE CAR BUT THAT DID NOT WORK. THE CAR STRUCK A POLE IN THE PARKING LOT DOING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE CAR.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY (I95, SPEED 55 MPH) THE ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED, WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE ENGINE, WHICH NOW MADE A TERRIBLE MECHANIC NOISE. COULD DRIVE OFF TO A SMALLER ROAD WHERE THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN. HAD TO TOW THE CAR TO THE DEALER, WHO ADVISED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. TWO WEEKS LATER THE ENGINE WAS FINALLY CHANGED BUT NOW THIS TIME THEY STATED THAT THE TURBOS NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THE PARTS WERE, HOWEVER, ON BACK ORDER - DEALER CANNOT SAY HOW LONG BEFORE IT CAN BE REPAIRED. AFTER 3 WEEKS AND MANY PHONE CONVERSATIONS I STILL DO NOT HAVE A CAR. THIS IS AFTER ALL A NEW (18000 MILES) >50K CAR BUT APPARENTLY IT WAS NOTHING BUT A LEMON.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I ORIGINALLY OWNED THIS Q50 2018 VIN [XXX] AND INFINITI REPLACED IT WITH THE ONE I HAD LISTED. THE FACT IS I OWN NEITHER OF THEM ANY LONGER BUT FEELI SHOULD REPORT IT BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH INFINITI REFUSED TO DEAL WITH. THE BLIND SPOT LIGHT DID NOT WORK ON EITHER CAR . BETWEEN 10 AM AND 8 PM YOU COULD NOT SEE THE LIGHT AND AUDIBLE SIGNAL YOU COULD BARELY HEAR. I AM REPORTING THIS PROBLEM IN THE HOPES OF SAVING LIVES. IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE IT COST ME $$ THE SECOND REPLACEMENT BUT NEVER FELT COMFORTABLE IN THE CAR . YET INFINITI COULD CARE LESS THOUGH THE DEALER WAS VERY HELPFUL INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT *TR

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
DUNLOP SP SPORT 5000 DSST P245/40RF19 DEVELOPED SIDEWALL BUBBLE SPONTANEOUSLY. THESE TIRES WERE STANDARD WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS OF SIDEWALL BUBBLES FOLLOWING POTHOLE ENCOUNTERS. TIRES HAD ONLY 17,500 MILES ON THEM. THE FACT THAT THERE ARE SO MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE.
