13 Complaints
There seems to be an issue with my 2018 Infiniti Q60 and I am not the only one. My allignment is perfect and my tires are new but the vehicle still tends to wander on the freeway which feels very unsafe and dangerous. I have spoken to others with this vehicle and they also have the same issue. Nobody can figure out what it is but it makes the car very uncomfortable to drive because you are constantly trying to steer the car back in its lane. Please do a recall in this vehicle before somebody gets seriously hurt out in the road. This is the Luxe 3.0t edition and Ive heard the same complaints on the Sport model aswell. We know for a fact that a new vehicle like this, especially stock with very low miles should not drive like this. This is could be a huge potential liability to the Nissan/Infiniti company.
I was driving down I59 just north of Hattiesburg MS with no one around me or going over an overpass when my sunroof exploded. There is no chance it was hit with anything, there was no one in front of me and no one beside me and no structures overhead. I was driving with cruise control on and not changing lanes or swerving. My wife was driving behind me and witnessed the event, glass just exploded from the top of the car. There is no chance anything hit it.

THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,100. *LN *DT*JB *DL
WAS TOLD MY SERVICE ADVISOR THAT I NEED NEW TIRES AT LESS THAN 20,000 DESPITE HAVING THEM ROTATED, BALANCED AND/OR ALIGNED ON A REGULAR BASIS AT DEALER. RIDE IS EXTREMELY LOUD AND TIRES SWAY ERRATICALLY AT SLIGHTEST DEVIATION IN PAVEMENT. REVIEWS STATE THAT THESE TIRES OFTEN BUBBLE UP AND EXPLODE CAUSING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
CO LEVELS (EXHAUST FUMES) BEING DETECTED INSIDE THE CABIN WHEN OPERATING VEHICLE. CO LEVEL INCREASE DIRECTLY CORRELATED TO ACCELERATION (WIDE OPEN THROTTLE). CO LEVELS RECORDED AS HIGH AS 19PPM WITH AC ON, WINDOWS CLOSED, AND RECIRCULATE ON WITHIN 1/2 HOUR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 INFINITI Q60. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CONTACT DROVE OVER BLACK ICE AND LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STRUCK THE MEDIAN ON THE HIGHWAY. NONE OF THE FRONTAL OR SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO A BODY SHOP.

LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHILE DRIVING 2018 INFINITI Q60S RED SPORT. AFTER A SEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN PREDICTED WITH THE DRIVE-BY-WIRE OR STEER-BY-WIRE SYSTEM. (DIRECT ADAPTIVE STEERING SYSTEM) MILEAGE AT TIME OF EVENT APPROX. 2,252 MILES. DRY ROADS, NO RAIN, OVERCAST, ABOUT 70 DEGREES. SPEED AT TIME OF STEERING FAILURE BETWEEN 65 AND 70 MPH. ROAD STRAIGHT. DRIVING IN RIGHT LANE OF THREE LANE, SAME DIRECTION TRAFFIC. STEERING SUDDENLY AND IMMEDIATELY CHANGED FROM NORMAL TO WHAT INITIALLY FELT LIKE BOTH FRONT TIRES COMPLETELY FLAT. QUICKLY REALIZED IT WAS NOT FLAT TIRES BUT RATHER A SUDDEN AND COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. MUCH WORSE THAN FLAT TIRES. WARNING LIGHT ON DASH. I HAD ALMOST NO REACTION ON THE STEERING WHEEL. ONCE PARKED, I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND TURNED IT ON AGAIN. WARNING LIGHT OFF. I MOVED THE CAR AND IT BEHAVED NORMALLY. AS IF IT NEVER HAPPENED. . I HAVE EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THIS WAS FAR WORSE. WITH NORMAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING, IN MY EXPERIENCE, YOU HAVE A HEAVY AND SLUGGISH RESPONSE TO STEERING. BUT IT IS A RESPONSE, NONETHELESS. UNNERVING, YET YOU DO NOT FEEL A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL. IN THIS SITUATION, I DID NOT KNOW IF I WOULD BE ABLE TO EFFECT THE CAR AT ALL. IT WAS VERY DIFFERENT THAN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. IT WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL. IF THIS FAILURE HAD HAPPENED IN MOST ANY OTHER DRIVING CONDITION, IT MAY VERY WELL HAVE RESULTED IN A CATASTROPHIC EVENT. IF NEEDED, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE ANY EVASIVE MOVES. THE RECALL STATES: "MAY CAUSE THE WARNING LAMP TO ILLUMINATE AND THE EPS TO GO INTO FAIL-SAFE MODE AND INCREASE DRIVER STEERING EFFORT." THIS STATEMENT GROSSLY UNDERSTATED THE DANGER. I DOUBT I COULD HAVE NAVIGATED IN ANY CONDITION BESIDES STRAIGHT ROAD. THERE IS A FAR MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM HERE.

2018 INFINITI Q60. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO DEFECTIVE STEERING WHEEL. *AS THE CONSUMER STATED THE STEERING WHEEL PULLED TO THE RIGHT. *JS
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY SAW SOMETHING ON MY LANE SO I TRY TO AVOID IT BY CHANGING LANE BUT MY WHEELS LOCKED AND POWER STEERING SIGN CAME ON SO I ENDED UP DRIVING OVER AN OBJECT. I FORCED MY WHEEL TO THE EMERGENCY LANE SAFELY AFTER VEHICLES ZOOMING BY ME ON BOTH LANES AND TO A COMPLETE STOP. SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, EXITED THE VEHICLE TO SEE SCRATCHES ON MY BUMPER. IT WAS RATHER HARD FOR ME TO FORCE THE WHEEL DUE TO MY MEDICAL DISABILITY FROM THE MILITARY. I DIDN'T DO A FULL INSPECTION SO WENT BACK INTO MY VEHICLE TURNED THE CAR ON AND THE SIGN WENT AWAY SO I KEPT DRIVING TO MY DESTINATION. WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE DIDN'T FEEL THE SAME IT KEPT STEERING TO THE RIGHT. THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS I GET IN MY CAR STARTED DRIVING BUT IT KEPT STEERING TO THE RIGHT SO I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND CHECKED AGAIN TO SEE THAT I HAD A FLAT TIRE RUNNING ON RUN FLATS AND SCRATCHED RIMS. SO I TAKE THE CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THAT THE CAR WAS ON RECALL ON JANUARY 18, 2018 AND I HAD LEASED THIS CAR ON MARCH 21,2018. THE DEALERSHIP THEN TOLD ME THEY CAN FIX THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM AND MY TIRES BUT THE SCRATCHES ON THE RIMS WAS MY FAULT AND I HAD TO PAY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. REMIND YOU THIS VEHICLE WAS TITLED NEW WITH 14 MILES TO START OFF WITH WHEN I LEASED THE VEHICLE. THE CAR NEVER WARNED ME OF A FLAT TIRE OR LOW TIRE PRESSURE ALSO A GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM WHILE ON REVERSE. THE REVERSE CAMERA MONITOR WILL BLACK OUT. FAULTY BACK UP CAMERA.
I LEASED AN INFINITI Q60 ON DECEMBER 9, 2017. ON DECEMBER 15, AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR, THE STEERING BECAME EXTREMELY TIGHT AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE STEERING WAS FINE. I DROVE THE CAR A SHORT DISTANCE HOME AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. AT THAT TIME THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 450 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING SYSTEM AND RETURNED THE CAR TO ME ON DECEMBER 30, 2017. ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 7, 2018, MY DAUGHTER TOOK THE CAR. SHE WAS ABOUT 3 MILES FROM HOME WHEN THE STEERING AGAIN BECAME DIFFICULT AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. SHE PULLED OVER BUT LEFT THE CAR RUNNING. COINCIDENTALLY, THE SAME TOW TRUCK DRIVER CAME AND ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT WAS ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO MOVE. AFTER HE SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON, EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. THE CAR WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM INFINITI REGARDING THE PROBLEM.THE CAR NOW HAS LESS THAN 750 MILES ON IT. I HAVE VIDEO AND PHOTOS OF THE LIGHT AND STEERING WHEEL ON MY PHONE. I USED MY TABLET TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT.
MY CAR IS BRAND NEW AND WAS PURCHASED ON 12/26/2017. 12/27: AFTER A 3+HOUR DRIVE W/ 350~ MILES ON THE CAR AT THIS POINT, AN INDICATOR LIGHT WITH A STEERING WHEEL AND EXCLAMATION POINT LIT UP THE DASH AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. I PULLED OVER TURNED MY CAR OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND CRANK IT BACK UP AND THE LIGHT WAS GONE. 1/5: APPROXIMATELY 650+ MILES ON THE CAR IT HAPPENED AGAIN- STEERING GOT EXTREMELY TIGHT AND HARD TO MANEUVER, I PULLED OVER AND REPEATED THE SAME OFF/REST/ON PROCESS!!! IT HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES IN THE COURSE OF THAT HOUR. INFINITI SENT A TOW TRUCK TO PICK IT UP ON 1/5 FROM MY HOME AND STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE OR GET SOME RESOLVE ON THE ISSUE. I AM FRIGHTENED BECAUSE I WAS TRULY BLESSED TO BE IN AN AREA EACH OF THE 5 TIMES TO GET TO SAFETY. THAT MAY NOT ALWAYS BE THE CASE. I AM EVEN MORE MORTIFIED THAT MY CAR SIENA EVEN HAVE 1000 MILES ON IT AND IT'S CAUSING A SEVERE ISSUE ALREADY. THE SERVICE TEAM AT INFINITI OF TAMPA ARE WORKING DILIGENTLY ON IT BUT AS OF YET HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE A SOLUTION WHICH IS MORE PETRIFYING.
