Vehicle Speed Control Problems of Infiniti Q50 - part 2

I am experiencing software related issues that have become increasingly dangerous. In sum, the Infiniti software shuts down or locks up forcing me to become an it technician while driving. When the software shuts down, I lose the speedometer, tachometer, climate control and audio control. Here's an overview of my experiences for the past 3 years: randomly, the software will shut down leaving me without my instrument panel (speedometer, tachometer), climate control and audio control. Randomly, the software will lock up leaving me without climate control or audio control and the only resolution is to pull over, shut down and restart the car randomly, climate controls are set to 60 degrees w/ ac yet hot air is blowing out of the vents. Most recently, the onboard clock that displays the date and time will reset to 01-01-2012 and the clock will start at 6:00 am. The only resolution is to reset the date and time. This seems to occur every 3 or 4 weeks. When I call the service department I'm asked to bring in the vehicle only to be told that all updates have been applied and the issues cannot be duplicated. I have taken and posted several youtube videos showing the problems-which I'll admit is very dangerous to do while driving. In fact, I firmly believe that when these software issues occur, I am forced to play the role of an it technician and troubleshoot the issues while driving which is incredibly dangerous. These issues occur randomly while driving. This is a lease vehicle and I plan to return early as the continued issues put me and my family in danger.

I have complained to Infiniti several times throughout the 6 months I've had the vehicle. I noticed after a few weeks of leasing the car that when I steer almost to a 90 degree angle whether it be out of a right or left turn the car loses acceleration. This happens on a daily basis, not every time I turn, but more times than none it loses considerable acceleration which has almost caused a wreck. To me this is a major safety issue. I've never experienced this in an other vehicle I've driven. Infiniti says it's a traction control issue that disengages the throttle when the computer feels the rear wheels will spin out of control. This loss of acceleration happens at low speeds and usually pulling out of a shopping center either right or left. At low speeds this should not be a safety response.

Came to a slow stop at a red light in my 2015 Infiniti Q50. My foot was directly on the brake. Within seconds the car began to pull forward and I applied additional pressure on the brakes by using both feet. The engine was racing out of control and the tires were screeching. Sifting the gears did not help. I let off the brake and turned right instead of straight in order to avoid hitting cars. Shifting violentlky the car finally went back to normal. The dealer denies the car is at fault and says this is a case of human error.

The contact owns a 2015 Infiniti Q50. While driving at approximately 30 mph around a curve with the brakes engaged, the accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle decelerated without warning. The issue recurred multiple times. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The technician inspected the vehicle and stated that it was working up to standards. The failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

This vehicle has an electronic braking system that has made this car handle erratically and extremely unsafe in traffic situations. While traveling at speed if traffic in front of you happens to brake or swerve in front of you this car will brake uncontrollably without notice making it nearly impossible to avoid a collision or change lanes to maneuver around on obstacle or car. Myself and my wife are very scared to drive this car and in freeway traffic you cannot safely change lanes. We feel it is only a matter of time before this poorly designed system which cannot be disabled will result in collisions or death. This has happened more than a dozen times since purchase in April 2014. We no longer feel safe driving this car.
