RECENTLY I WAS SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT ABOUT 3RD IN LINE BEHIND A FORD EXPLORER. I LIVE IN ATLANTA SO STOPLIGHTS ARE EXTRAORDINARILY LONG. I HAD THE CAR IN DRIVE OBVIOUSLY AND MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE. ABOUT 5 MINUTES INTO THE RED LIGHT MY CAR STARTS TO SLOWLY MOVE FORWARD WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE. THE MOVEMENT WAS SIMILAR TO IF THE BRAKE HAD BEEN RELEASED AND THE CAR WAS COASTING IN DRIVE. FORTUNATELY I LEFT SOME DISTANCE BETWEEN MYSELF AND THE EXPLORER IN FRONT OF ME, BUT OBVIOUSLY A MOMENT OF PANIC COMES OVER ME WHEN MY …

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.

I’m reporting a recurring safety issue with my Infiniti Q50 involving the brake, steering, and acceleration systems. While driving, I’ve experienced the brake pedal becoming unresponsive, the gas pedal not reacting, and the steering wheel locking or feeling stiff, making it extremely difficult to control the car. The most recent incident occurred today, [XXX]. I had to stop driving immediately and had the car towed to an Infiniti dealership, where a full systems check was performed. However, since the issue didn’t replicate while there, the de…

Recently, the turbochargers on my vehicle failed prematurely and had to be replaced. Shortly after this repair, and with the vehicle still under 60,000 miles, the engine exploded and failed while driving. This incident posed a severe safety hazard not only to me but to other drivers and pedestrians as I lost propulsion and had to swerve to the shoulder to avoid oncoming traffic. Fortunately, no one was injured, but the sudden failure could have led to a much worse outcome as not only did it fail but hot oil and coolant both poured out of the ho…

This problem has occurred more than once and creates a serious safety risk in traffic, especially when merging or crossing intersections.

It damaged my BCM. Infiniti has quoted me 3,700 dollars to fix. I’ve done lots of research and this seems to be a very common problem with the Infiniti q50 models. I believe this is a manufactured defect. This could of left me stranded because car wouldn’t crank.
