Owner report 11568300 · 2024-01-28 (January 28, 2024)
My vehicle was stolen by theives using some kind of device to gain access because I have both key fobs that came with the vehicle but somehow they were able to gain access and start it and drive off. I believe this is a security and safety concern for Infiniti vehicles. it should not be easy to steal a locked, secured vehicle.

Owner report 11623454 · 2024-11-04 (November 4, 2024)
Vehicle was parked in my driveway with the engine running for about 5-10 minutes while I was going into the house to turn off my alarm, then return to take out 2 of my elderly dogs; & finally to take out my other dogs. I then returned to the car, opened the driver's side front door & reached in to push the "stop" button on the dash. As soon as I did, the vehicle immediately went into reverse & pulled me down the driveway by the open door. The vehicle continued down the driveway & crossed the street, hitting a fire hydrant in my neighbor's yard …

Owner report 11660788 · 2025-05-13 (May 13, 2025)
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…

Owner report 11715599 · 2026-02-04 (February 4, 2026)
While driving my vehicle on 12/06/2025, a wheel separated from the vehicle at the knuckle/ball joint area. This resulted in an immediate loss of safe operation and required the vehicle to be taken out of service. The failure involved the wheel/suspension/steering assembly. This event created a serious safety risk, as loss of a wheel while in operation can cause loss of control and endanger the driver, and other motorists. The vehicle became unsafe to drive and has not been operated since the incident. The vehicle has not been repaired. It rem…

Owner report 11751084 · 2026-07-17 (July 17, 2026)
I am reporting a potential safety defect involving my leased 2023 Infiniti Q50, VIN [XXX]. In 2024, I brought the vehicle to the dealership because the passenger seatbelt warning activated even when the passenger seat was unoccupied. I was told the condition was caused by objects triggering the passenger seat sensor, and no further repair was performed. On XXX, I returned to the dealership for a routine oil change and again reported that the seatbelt warning problem was continuing. I was initially informed that a component in the passenger se…

Owner report 11753215 · 2026-07-28 (July 28, 2026)
The Steering Assembly is faulty in the vehicle. I purchase this vehicle as a used Certified preowned vehicle from Hart Infinity in Connecticut. I looked at several one year old Infiniti's as I had an accident in my 2019 and it was totaled. As I was looking, I notices that several of the vehicles had curb rash on the front rims as well as the one I purchased. After I bought mine in July 2024 I noticed that on uneven pavement the vehicle would pull left and right an I had to fight the steering wheel to keep the car in my lane. My safety was …

Owner report 11761550 · 2026-09-02 (September 2, 2026)
I took my car in for a steering problem to the dealer. The car is weaving out of the lane when it hits uneven pavement. They looked at the car and did a wheel alignment. After that I noticed that the car was still weaving on uneven pavement. After some months I took it back to another dealer. They again tried to do an alignment. I told them to look deeper because that didn't fix it last time. After I pushed them to keep looking a senior tech came back and said it was the steering assembly and that he just fixed one like that. My car was…
