Infiniti Q50
Model Overview
The Infiniti Q50 is a relative small-time player among upscale compact sedans, but it brings big value to the segment. It's standard with features many of its competitors charge extra for, including a powerful V6 engine that makes this one of the most potent cars in the class. Infiniti was among the first to introduce a dual-screen dash display, but it's less sophisticated than what you'll find in, say, an Audi A4.

Red Sport 400
Overall Score
I bought the infinti q50 red sport 400 after I test drove it for the first time. The motor is explosive. I have owned mine since it had 50km and I very recently traded it in after an amazing 100 000kms. This is an amazing vehicle. I loved every second driving it. My wife and I took it on a 10 000km road trip across Canada and everything about this perfect gt car showed. Amazing fuel economy (avg 7.8l/100km) for such a monster of an engine. Not only is the car amazing, the infiniti dealer service was surprisingly affordable and a step above, especially when you compare to any of the German brands. If you can find one that was well maintained, it is a great bargain used. I find the Infiniti brand gets a bad rep in the auto industry for some reason but when you are looking for a great all-round, good looking car, the red sport does everything very well.

Manufacturer Recall Number:
Units Affected:
247
Notification Type:
Compliance Mfr
Issue:
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the navigation screen/multifunction control touch screen not to work when the vehicle is started. If this happens, the rearview camera image will not appear on the display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear.
Note: This can happen if the "privacy mode" feature is activated and the vehicle is not started in the following 14 days.
Safety Risk:
A rearview camera image that does not display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action:
Infiniti will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the telematics control unit (TCU).

Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the front steering knuckles may not have been properly heat-treated. As a result, a strong impact (such as hitting a curb) could cause a steering knuckle to bend or break. If this happens, the steering wheel may become off-center or there could be a loss of steering control and a wheel could separate.
Safety Risk:
A loss of steering control and/or a wheel separation could increase the risk of a crash. A wheel that separates could also hit another person or vehicle.
Corrective Actions:
Nissan will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the production date on the casting stamp of the front steering knuckles. Parts that are affected by this problem will be replaced.

Notification Type:
Compliance TC
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the rear view camera system does not return to the default setting when the transmission is shifted to reverse. This could cause a reduction in rear visibility if a driver had previously adjusted the camera display. Canadian regulations require that the rear view image returns to its original setting each time the camera is turned on.
Safety Risk:
Reduced rear visibility could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the software for the rear view camera.

Certain vehicles may have been equipped with an out of specification frontal driver airbag inflator. As a result, the airbag may not deploy property in the event of crash, increasing the risk of injury or the driver. Correction: Dealers will replace the driver frontal airbag inflator.

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.

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.

On certain vehicles, a defect in the occupant classification system could allow an adult sitting in the front passenger seat to be classified as a child or an “empty seat”. This would suppress the airbag, which could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Correction: For affected Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue and Sentra vehicles, dealers will reprogram the airbag control unit and the occupant classification system control unit. For affected Leaf, NV200, Pathfinder, Q50 and JX35/QX60 vehicles, dealers will replace the occupant classification system electronic control unit.

On certain vehicles, the front passenger seat occupant classification system software may incorrectly classify the passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult. If this occurs, the passenger airbag would be deactivated without the illumination of the airbag warning lamp. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the occupant classification system. This is an expansion of recall 2014-093.

On certain hybrid vehicles, the transmission housing may have been damaged during manufacturing. This could allow a crack in the housing to form, and could eventually result in a transmission housing fracture, which would result in debris being spread onto the roadway, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the transmission assembly if cracks are found during inspection.

On certain hybrid vehicles, a defect in engine control module programming could cause a gradual throttle increase without driver input, which could cause vehicle speed to increase. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update vehicle software. Note: Applying the brake would allow the vehicle to be slowed or stopped.

On certain vehicles equipped with Direct Adaptive Steering (steer-by-wire), cold weather operation could cause the system to malfunction on startup, and delay the engagement of the mechanical backup system. This would result in a loss of steering, which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Direct Adaptive Steering module.
