The contact owns a 2017 Infiniti Q50. The contact stated that while his son was driving at approximately 45 mph, the vehicle shut off without warning. Due to the failure, his son lost complete control of the vehicle and drove into a ditch. The air bags did not deploy. The contact's son was not injured as a result of the accident and did not seek medical treatment. The police were not called to the scene and a report was not filed. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed from the scene to an independent auto repair shop. The contact was informed by the auto repair shop the serpentine belt had shredded inside the engine which caused the failure. They also informed him that there was a service bulletin on the vehicle in relation to the failure. The contact's son reached out to the manufacturer where they both agreed to an unknown settlement. The vehicle had been repaired. The failure mileage was 28,097.

SINCE MARCH OF 2020 I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE DISPLAY SCREEN AND THE GPS SYSTEM. THESE PROBLEMS ARE ONGOING AND THE DEALER CANNOT REPAIR THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I HAVE ELEVATED THIS COMPLAINT TO INFINITY CUSTOMER AFFAIRS AND WAS ISSUED CASE# 43115404 TODAY. I HAVE TAKEN ATTEMPTED TO HAVE MY INFINITY DEALER FIX THE PROBLEM FOR ALMOST A YEAR AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPAIR THE TWO ISSUES.THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE AS THE FREQUENCY OF THE PROBLEMS IS OCURRING MORE OFTEN NOW.THE DEALER CONTACTED THE CORPORATE TECH ASSISTANCE DEPARTMENT WAS WAS DISAPPOINTED BY THE LACK OF SUPPORT AND THE REFUSAL TO APPROVE ANY REPAIRS. THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ONLY OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN.

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 INFINITI Q50. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE SHOOK ABNORMALLY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MIKE WARD INFINITI (1800 LUCENT CT, HIGHLANDS RANCH, CO 80129, (303) 350-4300) AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE CONTROL ARMS ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

CAMSHAFT POS SENSOR WENT OUT DURING DRIVING. CAR LOST POWER AND JERKED. HAD CAR LOOKED AT BY INDEPENDENT SERVICE STATION AND HEARD KNOCKING. BROUGHT CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS DETERMINED TO HAVE A BLOWN ENGINE. WAS SPECIFICALLY TOLD THAT THE TURBOS WERE 'EATING' THE OIL AND NOT ALLOWING OIL TO FLOW TO LOWER END OF MOTOR. WHICH CAUSED FAILURE TO MAIN BEARING IN CYLINDER 3. CAR NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS SEEN THIS BEFORE WITH SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE

NO AIR ON DRIVER SIDE BLOWING HOT AIR! BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR NOT WORKING DO NOT WORK AT ALL

DUNLOP SP SPORT 5000 DSST P245/40RF19 DEVELOPED SIDEWALL BUBBLE SPONTANEOUSLY.HAD TO REPLACE TWO TIRES AT LESS THAN 30,000 MILES. BOTH TIRES HAD PLENTY OF TREAD LIFE LEFT (> 6/32)

THIS CAR SOME WITH AN INTERNAL REAR VIEW MIRROR THAT IS SUPPOSED TO AUTO DIM (NO FLIP LEVER) MIRROR DOES NOT AUTO DIM. LIGHTS OF CARS BEHIND ME ARE FULL STRENGTH WHEN VIEWED THROUGH THE MIRROR I HAVE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR THIS AND I HAVE WORKED WITH INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS IS HOW THE MIRROR WORKS. IT IS VERY UNSAFE I HAVE TO TILT THE MIRROR UP AT NIGHT AND AM UNABLE TO USE IT TO SEE ANYTHING BEHIND ME WHILE DRIVING.

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 INFINITI Q50. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RAY CATENA INFINITI OF EDISON (900 US-1, EDISON, NJ 08817, (732) 603-9600) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE CONTACT FELT UNEASY ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE. SHE SPOKE WITH HER STATE'S ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE BEFORE CALLING NHTSA. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,276. *TT CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THE POWER STEERING FAILED/MALFUNCTION THE FIRST 2 TIMES, THE THIRD TIME ON MAY 2ND I WAS LEAVING THE BANK PARKING LOT WHEN IT FAILED AGAIN. IT WAS TOWED 3 TIMES TO THE DEALER (RAY CATENIA INFINITI IN NJ) THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER. I DID CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER AND AFTER THE FIRST 2 FAILURES THE OFFERED ME AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 7 YRS/ K100 MILES, I WAS ABOUT TO ACCEPT WHEN IT HAPPENED THE FOR THE 3RD TIME AGAIN. I AM VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, THE NEXT TIME I MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. I DON'T HAVE THE TIRE INFO SINCE THE CAR IS IN THE DEALER'S SHOP. *JB *DT*JB

I HAVE A INFINITI Q50S REDSPORT 2017 ACTUALLY HAVE 34000 MILES IN THE ODOMETER. THIS CAR HAVE A FACTORY DEFECT THAT INVOLVES ENGINE PARTS IN THIS CASE SERPENTINE BELT, BELT TENSIONER AND PULLEYS. THERE IS A TSB AT THIS TIME FOR THIS ISSUE BUT IN THE MAJORITY OF CASES THE CARS STILL SHOWING UP THE ISSUE. MAJOR ISSUE AT THIS TIME IS THAT SERPENTINE BELT BROKES WHILE CAR IS ON MOVE. THE CAR NEEDS TO BE STOPPEND SINCE ENGINE OVERHEAT AND ALSO BATERRY LIGHT GOES ON. THE BELT TENSIONER GET STUCK AND PULLEYS IN SOME OF THE CASES MELT DOWN. IN MY CASE MY CAR HAS VISITED 2 TIMES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THERE IS A TSB THAT PRETEND TO FIX THAT ISSUE REALIGNING THE AC COMPRESSOR. AT THIS TIME THERE IS FEW HOUNDREDS MAYBEE MORE CARA AFFECTED. I THINK THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE SINCE THE SERPENTINE BELT BROKE AND ENGINE STOP BEING FUNCTIONAL DUE OVERHEATING. THIS CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR OTHER SECURITY PROBLEM.

I PURCHASED MY 2017 INFINITI Q50 AS A CERTIFIED DEALER OWNED VEHICLE WITH 4710 MILES ON IT FROM AIRPORT INFINITI ON 12/31/2018. SINCE TAKING POSSESSION OF THE CAR, I HAVE HAD THREE SEPARATE INSTANCES WHERE MY CAR LOST POWER DURING ACCELERATION, IN WHICH ONE OF THE INSTANCES NEARLY CAUSED ME TO BE HIT BY A SEMI-TRUCK WHEN CROSSING A DIVIDED HIGHWAY. I HAVE PROVIDED VIDEOS TO THE MANUFACTURE BUT THEY HAVE REFUSED TO TAKE ACTION BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SET ANY DTC CODES. WHEN THIS CONDITION HAPPENS MY 3.0T Q50 ACCELERATES EXTREMELY SLOW EVEN WITH 100% THROTTLE. THE NET RESULT IS THAT WHEN I INTEND TO CROSS A DIVIDED HIGHWAY, I EXPERIENCE A 1-1.5 SECOND DELAY FROM THE TIME I PUSH DOWN THE ACCELERATOR TO WHEN THE CAR BEGINS TO MOVE, THEN THE ACCELERATION FROM 0-15MPH CAN TAKE UPWARDS OF 5-6 SECONDS. THE RESULTING FEELING IS A CAR THAT ROLLS INTO A DANGEROUS INTERSECTION AND EXHIBITS STALL LIKE CONDITIONS. ONLY ONCE DID THE CAR SET DTC CODES DURING THIS INSTANCE. THE CODES SET WERE B130D, C1A16 AND PO340. THESE CODES SET THE FIRST INSTANCE, BUT HAVE NOT SET DURING THE PAST TWO OCCURRENCES OF THE SAME ACCELERATION ISSUE. THESE INSTANCES ARE COMPLETELY RANDOM WHICH MAKE THEM EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. FOR INSTANCE, THE CAR WILL BE DRIVING COMPLETELY NORMAL, I WILL STOP AND AN INTERSECTION AND THEN WHEN I GO TO TURN OUT INTO THE INTERSECTION, I GO INTO THIS STALL CONDITION WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE CAR 4 SEPARATE TIMES AND EACH TIME THEY HAVE REFUSED TO FIX ANYTHING ON THE CAR, DESPITE HAVING A VIDEO OF THE OCCURRENCE AND CONFIRMING THAT THE ACCELERATION WAS ENTIRELY ABNORMAL. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THIS CAR IF INFINITI REFUSES TO FIX IT, BUT FEEL IT IS LIKELY THAT IT WILL CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH TO ME AND MY FAMILY IF I DRIVE IT. I HAVE ATTACHED A SUMMARY OF THE DAILY LOG I HAVE BEEN KEEPING SINCE I PURCHASES THE CAR ON 12/31/2018.

I PURCHASED MY 2017 INFINITI Q50 ON OCTOBER 06 2018 FROM CARVANA LLC. THE VEHICLE WAS USED AND HAD APPROXIMATELY 38K ON THE ODOMETER. WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE THE REAR BRAKES PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE RESURFACED. THIS WAS EXPECTED DUE TO THE HIGH MILEAGE ON A 1 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THEN ON JANUARY 11TH 2019 I TOOK MY 2017 INFINITI Q50 IN FOR ITS OIL CHANGE AT 43,000 MILES WITH GLENDALE INFINITI IN GLENDALE CALIFORNIA. WHEN THE SERVICE WAS COMPLETED THE SERVICE ADVISOR HAD NOTIFIED ME THAT MY REAR BRAKE PADS WHERE AT 4/32'S AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED WITHIN 6,000 MILES. I HAD THE BRAKE PADS REPLACED WITH THE FACTORY RECOMMENDED BRAKE PADS AT FIRESTONE IN ALHAMBRA ON 6 OCTOBER AS STATED ABOVE. I DID TAKE THE CAR BACK TO FIRESTONE IN ALHAMBRA CA FOR SQUEALING BRAKES MID DECEMBER 2018 AND IT WAS ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT BRAKE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE ROTORS NEEDING TO BE RESURFACED. THE REAR BRAKES NOW SQUEAL AND WILL NEED REPLACEMENT FOR THE 2ND TIME IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS. MY CAR IS USED TO DROP MY SON OFF AT DAYCARE AND MY WIFE AT WORK AND THEN TO PICK THEM BOTH UP AND SOME OCCASIONAL TRAVEL AND WORK FOR MY PART TIME JOB AS A RIDESHARE EMPLOYEE WHICH TOTAL 859 MILES IN DECEMBER. I HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS ABOUT HAVING THE REAR BRAKE PADS WEAR PREMATURELY. I ASK ED THE SERVICE ADVISOR WITH GLENDALE INFINITI ABOUT IT AND HE SIMPLY STATED IT IS DUE TO HARSH BRAKING. I RESPONDED WITH IS THAT SO BECAUSE THEY WHERE REPLACED WITH FACTORY BRAKE PADS IN OCTOBER 2018. SINCE THE FIND THE SQUEALING IS INTERMITTENT WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND MY STOPPING DISTANCE HAS INCREASED EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS ON CITY STREETS.

DRIVING 62-67MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, SUNROOF SHATTERED. LOUD SOUND OF SHATTER. I WAS IN THE VERY LEFT LANE (PASSING LANE). THERE WAS A VEHICLE THAT CUT ME OFF AND PASSED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME ON THE LEFT SHOULDER WHICH MAY HAVE KICKED UP DEBRIS WHEN IT GOT IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME FROM SHOULDER, BUT VIDEO DOESN'T SHOW IT. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SMALL PEBBLE OR SOMETHING. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/8MBEKWTGYQW

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 INFINITI Q50. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AT 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED NECK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (INFINITI OF MANHASSET, 1225 NORTHERN BLVD, MANHASSET, NY 11030) TO HAVE THE BRAKES DIAGNOSED, BUT NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REQUESTED A REPORT OF THE VEHICLE'S DATA RECORDER. THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE DATA RECORDER REPORT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000. *TT

I RENTED A VEHICLE FROM HERTZ AT GEORGE BUSH INTERCONTINENTAL AIRPORT IN HOUSTON, TEXAS FRIDAY MAY 18, 2018. ABOUT 2 HOURS INTO MY TRIP I CHECKED THE VEHICLE INFORMATION AND DISCOVERED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS NOT AT MANUFACTURES SPECIFICATIONS (35PSI). THE FRONT TWO TIRES WERE AT ABOUT 44PSI, THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE WAS AT 59PSI AND THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE WAS AT ABOUT 40PSI. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED HERTZ EMERGENCY ROAD ASSISTANCE (8006544174) AND NOTIFIED THEM OF THE ISSUE. I WAS ADVISED TO NOTIFY THE LOCATION UPON RETURNING THE VEHICLE. AFTER MAKING THIS CALL I WAS IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HYDROPLANED AND SLID ACROSS THE HIGHWAY, EVENTUALLY MAKING ONE OR MORE 360 TURNS UNTIL STOPPING. I CALLED HERTZ EMERGENCY ROAD ASSISTANCE TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE INCIDENT AND WAS ADVISED TO DRIVE TO THE CLOSEST OPEN LOCATION WHICH WAS OVER 130 MILES FROM THE ACCIDENT, SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL OPERABLE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS INCIDENT WAS A RESULT OF MANUFACTURE ISSUES, I DO HOWEVER BELIEVE THAT NEGLIGENCE ON BEHALF OF THE RENTAL CAR COMPANY IN MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE HYDROPLANING. WHEN I RETIRED TO THE HERTZ LOCATION AT BUSH INTERCONTINENTAL, I SPOKE WITH ALEC, A MANAGER AT THE LOCATION, AND HE CONFIRMED THAT IT IS STANDARD PROTOCOL THAT TIRE PRESSURE IS CHECKED FOR ALL RETURNED VEHICLES. IF THE TIRE PRESSURE ON THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT CHECKED I AM CONFIDENT THERE ARE OTHERS WITH THE SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUES. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE PROPER AUTHORITY TO HANDLE THIS MATTER BUT I DO BELIEVE AN INVESTIGATION OF SOME SORT IS NECESSARY. ATTACHED TO THIS COMPLAINT ARE PICTURES OF THE CAR TRIP INFORMATION WITH PSI. THE PICTURE FROM FRIDAY WHEN I ORIGINALLY NOTICED THE ISSUE. THE PICTURE FROM SUNDAY AT 3:12 WAS SHORTLY AFTER THE INCIDENT AND THE PICTURE AT THE MOBILE AIRPORT IS WHEN I RETURNED THE VEHICLE. THERE IS ALSO A PICTURE OF DAMAGE
