Q50 is a disappointment

We purchased the Q50 because we loved our G35X so much. When we purchased the Q50 in early October 2013, we knew there were issues with the computer system. The salesperson told us that there would be a fix in November and we would be contacted. During October and November, we experienced a range of issues with the navigation system and one touch system. We had to reboot the system almost every time we drove the car. We were not contacted for the fix in November or December and we started to experience many steering issues. My wife contacted the Pittsburgh Infiniti dealer to no avail. I guess they were waiting for someone to be killed by the steering problem before taking action. Review update - 8/12/2016: we have owned the car now for almost three years. It has never lived up to our expectations. Cochran Infiniti (where we bought it) has not helped with liking the car. There have been many recalls on the steering and overall technology package on the car. The updates to the computer are poor or simply do not work after they have been performed. Either the dealer has poor techs or the updates suck. Not only will I never buy another Infiniti, I will not buy anything from Cochran. I believe that the majority of the issues we experienced were due to the new model, but neither the dealer or Infiniti have done right with resolving the issues.

Q50 IS A PIECE OF JUNK

I wouldn't recommend this car to anyone. Within the first 8 months of ownership, my Q50 had software problems, a leaking differential seal, 2 bad sensors which produced daily error messages. One even stated to shut the car down. It also had 2 recalls for a steering issue and the OCS system was incorrectly calibrated. Infiniti has refused to take back this lemon, so now I have to try to receive fair treatment through my state's Lemon Law. I should have purchased a LEXUS!

Run Flat Tires

I'd avoid the Q50 like the plague - I've had 7 flat tires in 2 years. Can't wait for the lease to end. Dealership and Infiniti USA don't want to acknowledge or deal with the issue but do your research - there are enough stories like mine to educate consumers about this proble..

Probably My Last Infiniti

2014 INFINITI Q50 Hybrid Premium 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid 7A)

I traded my G37 (that I loved) for the Q50. At first, I commented that I enjoyed the car more than I thought I would. Steering issues that others reported were not an issue with me. Electronics and tech are cool but finicky and can be distracting. After just three months in the car it died on me on the highway. Infiniti Connections was not a help in getting a tow truck. Two weeks plus at the Infiniti dealer no results in getting issue resolved. Two visits from Infiniti engineers and they want to run more tests. I'm told Hybrid battery discharged and the transmission is bad. But no resolution. Local dealer is trying to help but no word or help from corporate.
