Suspension Problems of Infiniti Q50

On April 2nd I took my vehicle into the dealer for recall servicing. After leaving the dealer I had my vehicle inspected the next day by a third party repair shop and my brake caliper was missing the main bolt that connects to the brake pad. Brake pads were also less than 5% wear remaining. Myself and others were put in serious danger if my brakes had failed due to this serious oversight and disregard. My suspension also was unsafe in the rear but the dealer carried out a multi point inspection stating everything passed.

I experienced an ongoing grinding/rattling noise from the wheel/brake area. The vehicle was serviced multiple times by a franchised dealer, which diagnosed the issue as brake-related and performed brake repairs. The noise was not resolved, and the vehicle was returned in the same condition. Shortly after service, an independent mechanic discovered a cracked/broken brake pad installed on the vehicle. Due to safety concerns, the manufacturer authorized inspection at a separate franchised dealership under different ownership. That inspection confirmed aftermarket brake pads, rotors, and related components of unknown origin installed on both the front and rear, missing oem hardware, improper lubrication, and wheel bearing issues contributing to the noise. The inspecting dealer documented that the braking system must be returned to oem specifications before safe operation and further diagnosis could continue. Despite this, the manufacturer has declined to require oem remediation, and the vehicle continues to operate with unauthorized aftermarket brake components. The grinding noise has continued and has since shifted toward the rear. The condition is reproducible, documented by video, and confirmed by independent inspection. I believe the vehicle was returned to service in an unsafe condition involving a critical braking system.

Front and middle crossmember rusted out to the point they have no more structural effects issues discovered while fixing a know issue to these models : rusted out and leaking engine and transmission oils pans I had confirmation from the dealership and other independent repair shop that leaking oils pans are common for those models and can cause engine and transmission failure. For the crossmembers they are important structural components that directly affect suspension/direction and drivetrain secureness. If the plastic shrouds/cover are not taken off during inspection those issues will goes undetected until one of them reaches failure.

Hydraulic bushing of the lower control arm leaking, very common problem amongst Q50 models.

The car sometimes turning - changing lanes - just various times the rear end will slide around - or skid. Just does it various times - does not matter if the road is wet or not. Infiniti service did not find an issue - but there is definitely an issue. No certain time so hard to pinpoint what is causing it.

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.

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.

Tl the contact owns a 2019 Infiniti Q50. The contact stated while driving at high speeds, the rear end became very unstable. The abs would not operate properly. While depressing the brake pedal, there was no pulsation to the brake pedal. Additionally, the collision avoidance system randomly activated causing the vehicle to stop abruptly with no object or vehicle nearby. The contact also stated that the high-pressure fuel lines were leaking causing an odor of fuel to be present. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 49.

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.

Campers. The car does not have any alignment issues. Does not steer left or right. No pot holes rolled over. But the car is burning the tires from the inside wear of the tires equally in both front tires. Inifiniti dealer suggested I buy 4 new tires since all four are about the same since I have been rotating. And they blame the alignment of the car. I see no issues with my alignment and they say everything looks good underneath the car it's just out on line.

Our 2014 Infiniti Q50 was involved in 2-car accident. Other vehicle/driver impacted driver side of 2014 Infiniti Q50 at high speed and caused considerable damage. Current damage estimate to Q50 is near $25,000. My wife, who was driving, sustained head injuries as a result of air bags that did not deploy.
