ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
ENGINE HAS ROUGH IDLE WHILE IN PARK. EVEN AFTER THE FOLLOWING MAINTENANCE WAS DONE. REPLACING SPARK PLUGS, ENGINE SOFTWARE UPDATE, COOLANT FLUSH, POWER STEERING FLUSH, FUEL SYSTEM CLEAN, NEW MASS AIR FLOW SENSORS BOTH SIDES, SERPENTINE BELT, ALL NEW GASKETS ON TOP PART OF ENGINE, VALVE COVER, INTAKE MANIFOLD, SPARK PLUG TUBE SEALS. FLUSHED REAR AND REAR DIFF AND TRANSMISSION. STEERING IS HEAVY TO TURN. THE COLDER IT IS OUTSIDE THE WORSE THE ENGINE SHAKES. THROTTLE RESPONSE IS DELAYED AT TIMES. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD THE WORSE THE ENGINE SHAKES. COLDER IT IS THE SLOWER THE WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN ALONG WITH THE WIPERS. ENGINE DROPS RPM WHEN TURNING WHEEL WHILE IN PARK. WHEN DRIVING ENGINE DROPS ABOUT 100 - 200 RPM THEN KEEPS GOING BACK UP UNDER ACCELERATION BUT CAUSES TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT HARD. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES THE OUTPUT SHAFT SEAL TO BREAK AND REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSORS WERE REPLACED. AFTER A SHARP TURN CAR HESITATES TO ACCELERATE EVEN IF HARD ON THE GAS. EXTREME COLD TEMPS OUTSIDE MAKE THE ENGINE ALMOST SOUND AS IF SOMETHING INSIDE ENGINE INTERNALS IS NOT RIGHT. HOT AND HUMID WEATHER MAKES IT RUN THE BEST. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEM STARTED AT 90,000 MILES NOW IM AT 126,000 MILES AND STILL NO FIX AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. EVEN GOING UP THE SMALLEST HILL INCLINE MAYBE A COUPLE FEET OVER A DISTANCE OF MAYBE 3 BLOCKS ENGINE DOWNSHIFTS TO 5TH GEAR JUST TO MAINTAIN 70MPH EVEN THOUGH I CAN BE GOING 50MPH IN 7TH GEAR. CAR JOLTS FORWARD WHEN COMING TO A STOP AS IF THE OUTPUT SHAFT IS STILL SPINNING AT A DIFFERENT SPEED THAN THE ENGINE. CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF NOT FIXED. OTHER INFINITI CARS SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. EVEN THE G37.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY VEHICLE HAS HAD TO HAVE MY ROTORS REPLACED 5 TIMES OR MORE IN A SINGLE YEAR. THE DEALER SAID THAT THESE ROTORS GET HOT AND CREATE HOT SPOTS WHICH IN TURN REQUIRES NEW ROTORS AND BRAKES EVERY 2-3 MONTHS. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE COST FOR SUCH A LUXURY VEHICLE. THERE IS A RISK THAT THESE ROTORS WILL CONTINUE TO BURN THROUGH THE PADS LEAVING DRIVERS WITHOUT PROPER BRAKING SYSTEMS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND DETERMINED THAT BATTERY WAS DEAD. ARRANGED FOR JUMP START (THROUGH MY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM) BUT VEHICLE WOULD STILL NOT START. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO INFINITI DEALERSHIP. THEY FIGURED OUT A WAY TO CHARGE CAR (WASN'T ACCESSIBLE VIA FRONT HOOD SINCE A HYBRID) AND FOUND A WAY TO OPEN TRUCK TO DIRECT ACCESS AND CHARGE BATTERY. UPON CAR STARTING, VARIOUS ERROR CODES APPEARED. CAR DEALERSHIP HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT THEY MEANT AS THEY HAD NOT SEEN THEM BEFORE. I CONTACTED INFINITI CORPORATE AND THEY ASSOCIATED THE CODES WITH A PREVIOUS DAS VOLUNTARY RECALL. HOWEVER, UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION BY DEALERSHIP, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT DAS UPDATE WAS ALREADY APPLIED. TO DETERMINE THE ROOT CAUSE, I WAS TOLD IT WOULD REQUIRE THE CAR TO BE PARTIALLY DISASSEMBLED. AS TWO OF THE CODES POINTS TO A BRAKING SYSTEM ISSUE, AND ONE TO THE CHASSIS SYSTEM, I WANTED TO VERIFY IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IF A RECALL IS NEEDED. (SEE ATTACHMENTS FOR REFERENCE)

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.

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.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE TODAY APPROXIMATELY AT 4:20 PM MST, MY STEERING AND BRAKING SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND AS I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION LOCATED HERE IN COLORADO SPRINGS, CO. THIS SCARED ME AND I THOUGHT I WAS ABOUT TO DIE. IS THERE A RECALL ON THE 2014 INFINITI Q50 HYBRID STEERING AND BRAKING SYSTEM? IF SO, WHAT DO I DO ABOUT THESE ISSUES? SO MANY LIVES ARE AT DANGER WITH THIS VEHICLE AND ITS STEERING AND BRAKE SYSTEMS. THIS MUST BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY! I'M IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THIS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC FOR INFINITI AND NISSAN. *TR

STEERING
TODAY NOVEMBER 6, 2019, AT ABOUT 12:30 PM AFTER I STARTED MY VEHICLE THE STEERING WAS VERY HARD TO STEER AND MANEUVER. I DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK HOME BUT HAD A HARD TIME STEERING. MY VEHICLE HAS ADAPTIVE STEERING. I CALLED ABOUT A RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS MADE IN JULY OF 2016. IT APPEARS THAT THIS HAS NOT RESOLVED THE ISSUE AND MY VEHICLE MAY LEAD TO A POSSIBLE CRASH IF I DRIVE IT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED DESPITE THE FACT THAT I HAD AN ISSUE TODAY. THE WEATHER WAS ABOUT 36 F AND I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS A WEATHER RELATED. ISSUE. I WAS PARKED AT A SHOPPING MALL AT THE TIME IT OCCURRED THE VEHICLE WAS STILL WARM WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE.
