2018 Infiniti Q60

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.

Something is malfunctioning in the steering of this car...About a month ago I was driving my car and noticed it would not accelerate, it kept stalling but not shutting off, as well as it was swerving on it's own with the slightest bumps in the road, and I am not able to control the steerring. I called the service dept. at Colter Infiniti in Mesa Az where I purchased it and they towed it to their service center. They said that the battery was dead which caused the CAMS malfunction, they replaced the battery(infiniti battery) fixed the CAMS and I picked up my car. At first it seemed to function normally, the next day I drove to work and noticed it still swerving whenever I would drive on any uneven pavement or try to switch lanes and have to cross over any bumps, the car will oversteer. This happens at speeds higher than 35-40 mph however, It happens under 35-40, but is controllable... I also took it to another Infiniti dealer Infiniti on Camelback, and they checked everything and said I should lower the tire pressure, I lowered them to 31(35 is recommended) and it still continues. I have checked car forums and they are saying it could be the Direct Adaptive Steering(DAS) , I asked the service department at Camelback to check that and they said they ran all tests and couldn't find a fault. No warning lights or codes come on, and dealer can't find the fault. I believe this issue is a computer failure and it will not throw a code since it is not a part or mechanical issue, it is computer issue. I also asked them to reset my computer and they said that wasn't necessary. I have reported this issue with Infiniti Consumer Affairs, I feel this car is a danger if i drive faster than 35-40 mph as it becomes uncontrollable.

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/Infiniti company.

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.

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, I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND TURNED IT ON AGAIN. WARNING LIGHT OFF. I MOVED THE CAR AND IT BEHAVED NORMALLY. AS IF IT NEVER HAPPENED. . I HAVE EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THIS WAS FAR WORSE. WITH NORMAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING, IN MY EXPERIENCE, YOU HAVE A HEAVY AND SLUGGISH RESPONSE TO STEERING. BUT IT IS A RESPONSE, NONETHELESS. UNNERVING, YET YOU DO NOT FEEL A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL. IN THIS SITUATION, I DID NOT KNOW IF I WOULD BE ABLE TO EFFECT THE CAR AT ALL. IT WAS VERY DIFFERENT THAN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. IT WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL. IF THIS FAILURE HAD HAPPENED IN MOST ANY OTHER DRIVING CONDITION, IT MAY VERY WELL HAVE RESULTED IN A CATASTROPHIC EVENT. IF NEEDED, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE ANY EVASIVE MOVES. THE RECALL STATES: "MAY CAUSE THE WARNING LAMP TO ILLUMINATE AND THE EPS TO GO INTO FAIL-SAFE MODE AND INCREASE DRIVER STEERING EFFORT." THIS STATEMENT GROSSLY UNDERSTATED THE DANGER. I DOUBT I COULD HAVE NAVIGATED IN ANY CONDITION BESIDES STRAIGHT ROAD. THERE IS A FAR MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM HERE.
