• Recall 2016296 [Canada]: Steering
  On certain vehicles, a combination of low battery voltage at engine start up (~7 volts) and the vehicle being parked with the wheels turned could cause an error in the direct adaptive steering ecu. This could cause the steering wheel to be off centered and the vdc warning lamp to illuminate. If operated this way, this could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will update the direct adaptive steering ecu.

I was driving my infiniti q50 and puled up to a light. When it turned green i proceeded when i noticed my check engine light comes. It won't shift past 3rd gear. It seems to be in limp mode but there was a tractor trailer barreling down on me. So i get to 35 mph and ride the side of the road. Once i got home i did a search and apparently there are a lot of issues with this transmission. Most indicated it was the valvebody and that it could cost upward of $2,500.00 plus there is a back order on them. This is my only car and can't have it tied up to long. I have an appointment to have it diagnosed this coming wednesday, 06/09/2021. I can't drive it or i will burn up the transmission. If there is such a large problem i would think this would have a recall on it. My car only has 65, 624 miles on the clock. This needs to be addressed. I am hoping for a miracle when it gets diagnosed but with all the evidence out there about the bad transmission in these cars i am expecting the worse.

On 5-25-2021 while merging into traffic on busy i-75. My 2015 infiniti q50 did not change into a higher gear as it should have causing the vehicle to not accelerate and lose power then the check engine light came on a few seconds after failure.This failure of the vehicles drive train placed my wife’s life and my life in extreme danger in which we were not able to accelerate with the flow of traffic and was nearly ran over by several semi tractor trucks. The vehicle is in the repair shop for the transmission valve body failure and replacement. I’ve looked this issue up online where numerous owners of this type vehicle have complained and described this as a common problem with these vehicles.

My car pause and jerks then stops. This is the second time this has happened after being fixed. The mechanic said they had a recall on the 2016 models for this but not the 2015 but had to correct many of the 2015 models. The check engine light came on after it stopped. I was on the interstate the last time when it stopped. I am afraid that it might happen again without any warning. This is a life threatening defect that infiniti needs to correct asap.
