Hello, I purchased my Infiniti Q60 Red Sport brand new in 2028. About a year after that I started to have electrical issues with the car. I've brought it in to the Infiniti dealer in Valencia, CA numerous times during the warranty period (and a few times out of the warranty period), to have these issues addressed. Some were resolved and some were not. So In the past 4-5 years I've brought my vehicle in about 15 times or more to be fixed. The latest issue is a safety problem. About a week ago I noticed that the passenger seat belt sign on the dash does not come on when a passenger is seated without the belt engaged (normally I get a red warning sign that the seat belt is not buckled for the passenger). At the same time I also noticed that there's a red airbag indicator light that stays on

In-dash airbag light stays on as well as the passenger side airbag. Took the vehicle to Infiniti dealership who recommended to change the OCS Unit and OCS Sensor which costs over $18,000+. Of course, the vehicle in question is not in warranty and we are not going to pay for the repair due to the fact cost to repair is equivalent to the value of the vehicle. This is a safety hazard and have looked at Infiniti forums with my model having the same issue. A disaster waiting to happen with airbag not deploying when front passenger is sitting there in case of an accident. This should be a mandatory recall! It appears Infiniti have had similar issue with other models. Links to forums below - [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] PREVIOUS RECALL [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATIO

Loss of steering control while driving 2018 Infiniti q60s red sport. After a search online, I found that this problem has been predicted with the drive-by-wire or steer-by-wire system. (direct adaptive steering system) mileage at time of event approx. 2,252 miles. Dry roads, no rain, overcast, about 70 degrees. Speed at time of steering failure between 65 and 70 MPH. Road straight. Driving in right lane of three lane, same direction traffic. Steering suddenly and immediately changed from normal to what initially felt like both front tires completely flat. Quickly realized it was not flat tires but rather a sudden and complete loss of steering control. Much worse than flat tires. Warning light on dash. I had almost no reaction on the steering wheel. Once parked,

There seems to be an issue with my 2018 Infiniti Q60 and I am not the only one. My allignment is perfect and my tires are new but the vehicle still tends to wander on the freeway which feels very unsafe and dangerous. I have spoken to others with this vehicle and they also have the same issue. Nobody can figure out what it is but it makes the car very uncomfortable to drive because you are constantly trying to steer the car back in its lane. Please do a recall in this vehicle before somebody gets seriously hurt out in the road. This is the Luxe 3.0t edition and Ive heard the same complaints on the Sport model aswell. We know for a fact that a new vehicle like this, especially stock with very low miles should not drive like this. This is could be a huge potential liability to the Nissan/Inf

I was driving on the freeway saw something on my lane so I try to avoid it by changing lane but my wheels locked and power steering sign came on so I ended up driving over an object. I forced my wheel to the emergency lane safely after vehicles zooming by me on both lanes and to a complete stop. Shut the vehicle off, exited the vehicle to see scratches on my bumper. It was rather hard for me to force the wheel due to my medical disability from the military. I didn't do a full inspection so went back into my vehicle turned the car on and the sign went away so I kept driving to my destination. While driving my vehicle didn't feel the same it kept steering to the right. The next couple days I get in my car started driving but it kept steering to the right so I stopped the vehicle and checked

I leased an Infiniti q60 on december 9, 2017. On december 15, as I was driving the car, the steering became extremely tight and the power steering warning light came on. I pulled over, turned the car off and back on and the steering was fine. I drove the car a short distance home and had it towed to the dealer. At that time the car had approximately 450 miles on it. The dealer replaced the entire power steering system and returned the car to me on december 30, 2017. On sunday, january 7, 2018, my daughter took the car. She was about 3 miles from home when the steering again became difficult and the power steering warning light came on. She pulled over but left the car running. Coincidentally, the same tow truck driver came and also confirmed that the power steering warning light was on

I was driving down the road heading to work on a regular street, not even the highway or anything. I heard a loud bang like a gun shot and I almost swerved and crashed from how loud it was. I immediately pulled over to see if maybe I ran something over or anything else, when I had noticed my sunroof glass had exploded like completely dismantled from some type of force from the inside. The glass looks pushed out from the inside. I’ve been calling the dealer ship to ask about recalls. I have looked online and their is a whole forum page about other cars that had the same issue and there’s one specific to Infiniti models. Please help I just don’t want to fix it right now and have it keep on happening if it’s some type of manufacturing defect

I was driving down I59 just north of Hattiesburg MS with no one around me or going over an overpass when my sunroof exploded. There is no chance it was hit with anything, there was no one in front of me and no one beside me and no structures overhead. I was driving with cruise control on and not changing lanes or swerving. My wife was driving behind me and witnessed the event, glass just exploded from the top of the car. There is no chance anything hit it.

On Feb 5, 2025, I received written confirmation from Infiniti Consumer Affairs (Case #[XXX]) that my vehicle was eligible for recall repair. However, on Jan 27, 2025, my Infiniti dealer (Stevens Creek Infiniti) informed me that Infiniti had denied the recall, despite this being necessary for California emissions compliance. This contradicts their initial confirmation and leaves me unable to legally smog or register the vehicle. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The vehicle was subject to an active manufacturer safety recall involving the oil pressure control system and diagnostic trouble code P06DA, which requires inspection and replacement of the Engine Room Sub-Harness if the condition is present. The defect was confirmed by an authorized dealer, DTC P06DA was verified, and the Engine Room Sub-Harness was replaced in accordance with the recall remedy instructions. However, the manufacturer failed to fully remedy the recall, as the consumer was required to pay a significant portion of the repair cost out-of-pocket. While the manufacturer provided partial reimbursement, the remaining balance was charged to the vehicle owner despite the repair being performed solely to address a safety recall condition.

Was told my service advisor that I need new tires at less than 20,000 despite having them rotated, balanced and/or aligned on a regular basis at dealer. Ride is extremely loud and tires sway erratically at slightest deviation in pavement. Reviews state that these tires often bubble up and explode causing a serious safety issue.

The Infiniti Q60/Q50 has issues with the accessory belt. The belt is known to break without any warning or major signs of wear and tear. When the belt breaks it makes the car difficult to drive and poses a safety risk. This issue affects the 2017-2022 models. When the belt break it causes additional problems such as faulty water pumps, and engine over heating leading to major engine problems. These cars should have been recalled years ago. Drivers on social media have reported the problem with less that 10000 miles and up.
