Steering problem #1

Vehicle is tramaling or wandering at 50+ mph speeds. Making it dangerously difficult to keep between the lines without constant steering corrections. I have had car aligned and changed the tires. Still issue persists. There are several post online about this issue with the Infiniti q60 and Q50 models.

Steering problem #2

This car has been drifting to the right since bought causing premature tire wear which has now been 5 sets of tires in 36k miles. The front right tire always seems to blow out. Alignment has always been knocked out inwithin weeks. Several independent shops point to defective bushings while infinit doesn't see the issue. This same issue was recalled for the 2016 models. Ive replaced the knuckle and lower control arm and now stays aligned but seems to causing premature tire wear and blowing the right front tire. I cant get more than 10k miles out of a set of tires and constant fighting with the car drifting to the right. I have several more documents.

Steering problem #3

Car started no dash lights, no navigation lighting, and no power steering. I was able drive car but extremely difficult to turn steering wheel. New car approx. 580 miles had car towed to pepe infinity from my driveway 1/31/2019 car returned 2/5/2019 only problem detected was battery low. I am 71 taking care of 3 grand children afraid of reoccurring power steering malfunction.

Steering problem #4

This car has always drifted to the right. Now it is drifting to the right and left. Constantly having to correct steering to keep straight. Car pulls hard to the left when braking. Going over bumps or at high speeds the car feels very loose and getting harder to keep in control. The car also shifts at 2 rpms and feels like its jerking. Has been taken in for alignment 4 times and the dealerships refuse to inspect or fix car. The toe specs are constantly being thrown out of spec in less than 4 weeks when hitting bumps the steering wheel shifts and stays shifted. It is harder to turn left than it is to turn right.
