2017 Infiniti Q60

I NOTICED A CONTINUOUS GRINDING SOUND WHILE DRIVING THAT WAS COMING FROM SOMEWHERE. LOWERED MY WINDOWS AND DETERMINED THE SOUND WAS COMING FROM THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL. UPON INSPECTION THE BRAKE PAD WAS CRACKED INTO 2 PIECES AND JAMMED ONTO THE ROTOR. MADE AN IMMEDIATE REPAIR OF ALL BRAKE PADS ON THE CAR BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS. NEW BRAKE PAD STILL MAKES CONTINUOUS CONTACT WITH THE ROTOR WHILE DRIVING AND NOISE GETS WORSE WITH BRAKING. THIS IS NOW CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLIGHTLY PULL TO THE LEFT AT ALL TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 INFINITI Q60. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PARK IN A NEARBY PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND WAS TOWED TO INFINITI OF LAS VEGAS (LOCATED AT 5555 W SAHARA AVE, LAS VEGAS, NV 89146, (702) 829-5975) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING BELT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

I GOT IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE VISITING COLORADO WITH MY SON ON 7/15/2018 I WAS DRIVING FROM BOULDER TO DENVER PASSING THROUGH BROOMFIELD ON HWY 36. THE RENTAL CAR THAT I PICKED UP WHICH WAS SEMI-RANDOM AS I BELONG TO HERTZ PRESIDENT CIRCLE - THEY HAVE SEVERAL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM AS YOU GET OFF. SINCE MY SON WAS WITH ME WE PICKED THE COOLEST LOOKING CAR (BAD MISTAKE ON MY PART - BUT IT WAS FOR JUST 3 DAYS) - IT ENDED UP BEING THE INFINITI COUPE Q60 2017. UNBEKNOWN TO ME AT THIS TIME IT HAS ADAPTIVE STEERING TECHNOLOGY. THERE WERE NO INSTRUCTIONS OR INFORMATION ON THIS FEATURE. THIS FEATURE DID NOT BECOME APPARENT UNTIL THE RAIN ON THAT SUNDAY 7/15/2018. AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS FROM NEDERLANDS TO BOULDER TO DENVER I DID NOTICE SOME STRANGE STEERING MOVEMENTS FROM THE CAR, BUT I MANAGED. THEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN HWY 36 ' I WAS PLANNING/WANTING TO SHIFT FROM THE FAR LANE TO THE MIDDLE LANE WHEN THE STEERING TWITCHED ON ME AND PUT ME INTO WHAT I DESCRIBE AS HYDROPLANING ' THEN IT STEERED ME FAR RIGHT INTO THE GUARD RAIL. THE GOOD THINGS IS THE SAFETY FEATURES IN THE CAR ALLOWED MY SON AND I TO COME OUT UNHARMED ALSO I AVOIDED HITTING ANYONE OTHER THAN THE GUARD RAIL. AFTER THE ACCIDENT I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE CAR AND DID FIND ANOTHER PERSON NOTING A SIMILAR ISSUE BUT THEY WERE ABLE NOT TO HIT ANYTHING. I WENT AHEAD AND POSTED MY OWN REVIEW TO SUBSTANTIATE HIS REVIEW (BOTH CAN BE SEEN - HTTPS://WWW.EDMUNDS.COM/INFINITI/Q60/2017/CONSUMER-REVIEWS/) THE FIREMAN AT THE SCENE DID NOTE MY TIRES WERE NOT AT THE BEST LEVELS - BUT THE TECHNOLOGY THAT INVOLVES STEERING SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE ALL TYPES OF CONDITIONS ELSE THERE NEEDS TO BE A TURN OFF FEATURE THAT IS OBVIOUS. I HAVE A CLEAN DRIVING RECORD. I GOT INTO AN INTERSECTION ACCIDENT BACK IN LATE 90'S AND DO NOT HAVE A SPEEDING TICKET SINCE THE EARLY 90'S.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH 19' RIMS AND DUNLAP RUN FLAT TIRES. THIS IS NOT AN OPTION. I HAVE GOTTEN 5 FLAT TIRES WITHIN A AVERAGE OF 3800 MILES FROM POT HOLES. THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND IS HAZARDOUS AS WELL. EVEN THE SMALLEST POT HOLE CAN CAUSE THE TIRE'S SIDE WALL TO BLOW OUT. YOU CONSTANTLY HAVE TO CHECK THE ROADWAY FOR POT HOLES AS YOU ARE DRIVING ESPECIALLY ON HIGHWAYS WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING 55 MILES AN HOUR. THESE BLOWOUTS HAVE OCCURRED WHEREVER I HAVE ENCOUNTERED A POTHOLE, WHETHER IT WAS IN A SMALL PARKING LOT, SIDE STREET OR HIGHWAY. I WAS TOLD BY DUNLAP THAT THESE TIRES ARE NOT MADE TO DRIVE IN NEW YORK BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS AND INFINITI KNOWS THIS. THEY ARE TRYING TO SAVE MONEY ON THESE CARS BY ELIMINATING THE SPARE AND HAVE NO CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE ON BOARD. I HAD A BLOWOUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BLIZZARD AND FEARED FOR MY LIFE THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE MAKE IT HOME SINCE YOU CAN ONLY DRIVE 25 TO A MAXIMUM OF 50 MILES WITH THE BLOWOUT. THIS HAZARD WAS NEVER DISCLOSED TO ME WHEN I LEASED THE CAR. THESE TIRES NEED TO BE RECALLED IN NYS AND REPLACED WITH SAFE TIRES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 INFINITI Q60. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS AN ODOR OF FUEL PRESENT. AFTER PARKING AND LATER RETURNING TO THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT FUEL HAD LEAKED FROM UNDER THE MIDDLE/REAR OF THE VEHICLE UNTO THE GROUND. THE TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE AND AS THE VEHICLE WAS BEING LIFTED ONTO THE TOW TRUCK AND MORE FUEL SPILLED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LAUDERDALE INFINITI DEALER (900 E SUNRISE BLVD, FORT LAUDERDALE, FL 33304) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200.
