• Recall 2017375 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain vehicles, and incorrect fuel pressure map was used in the fuel pump control module (fpcm) software as a result, the pressure regulator may fail to open to send fuel from the sub tank to the main tank. Under certain conditions, the fuel level in the main tank could be too low for the fuel pump to send fuel to the engine resulting in a loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will update the software for the fuel pump control module.

• 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.

The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after march 1, 2021.The petitioner asserts that hybrid and electric vehicles to which the standard does not apply should be found to contain a safety defect. In support of the petition, the petitioner includes findings contained in a bill introduced in the house of representatives in 2009, the pedestrian safety enhancement act of 2009, h.R. 734, 111th cong. (2009). A related bill, the pedestrian safety enhancement act of 2010, became law in january 2011 (pub. L. 111-373). The petitioner requests that nhtsa require all electric and hybrid vehicles comply with fmvss 141, regardless of production date.The defect petition has been opened to evaluate the issue and determine whether to grant or deny the petition.The associated product list is not exhaustive and may contain vehicles that are equipped with pedestrian alert sounds.

Vehicle was stopped at the red light. This vehicle has a stop-start system. When i put my foot off the brake, i showed system failure and did not start the engine. I brought this to inifitni dealer, there was the same recall on different vin. They could not do anything about this safety concern.

The window regulator assembly is defective on a variety of infiniti q50 models. This is a very common complaint and some dealers are aware of it. This is more frequent on the driver's side from what has been posted online. This initially presents itself as a rattle which can be heard during bass notes with a frequency of 50-100hz. ~70hz from my test. The window basically gets off the track and this can cause a safety issue if the window shatters due to a mechanical failure of the window regulator assembly which can potentially put stress on the window. Also, this can be very dangerous if the window regulator fails during a day in which the weather involves rain or snow and the driver is unable to roll up their window. I took my car to a infiniti dealer and they stated that the manufacturer only pays them a flat rate to inspect the car so essentially it was not worth their time to inspect it.
