Worst car I ever owned

While the mechanical issues on this car range from major to minor, the real problem is the lack of parts. From windshield replacement that took over two weeks to the navigation/radio unit that I’m still waiting for 15 days and counting, it’s like Infiniti just doesn’t care. I’ll never buy another Infiniti and I can’t wait to get rid of this one,

Check out the tires before you buy.

After leasing the QX50 I was told that it came with run flat tires, had no idea what these tires were. You can run 50 miles And a good chance of distorting the rim. The car comes without a spare and no jack. If you make it to a tire repair place 90% they will not have a replacement tire since they sell very few. Plan to spend time while they find the same brand and size. If you get a blow out you screwed. A new tire cost around $300 each. If I knew this I would of thought twice about the purchase.

Defective Glass

All the windows in the car had defects in the glass. The windshield was so bad it affected visibility when driving into the sun. Infiniti replaced the windshield but the new one had the same defects. So at this point in time I would avoid Infiniti vehicles, or at least the QX50. Update: I was never able to get the glass issue resolved and even had a Nissan engineer try to blame acid rain! On a new vehicle and a new windshield? Really? Based on his evaluation Nissan refused to do further repairs. I had to get a lemon law layer and sue Nissan. Nissan refused to take the vehicle back but I did get a bit of a settlement and then got rid of the vehicle. I now refuse to ever deal with Nissan/Infinity ever again. Besides the glass the vehicle had a few issues including a constant rattling noise in the rear. The same Nissan engineer told me there was only so much QA could do during the manufacturing process. The issue turned out to be a faulty exhaust system hangar.

Love My QX50

I’ve had my QX50 for six months now. I think it’s a great car. It’s one of the best looking SUVs on the road. I’ve noticed other drivers speeding up to check out what I’m driving. I’m 6’4” and I have lots of leg room. I love the car’s interior too. I’m getting 26 mpg city/highway. I hear about drivers getting 20 mpg. I think they have a very heavy foot. It depends on how any car is driven. The controls are simple and logical. It does have soft braking but it’s dependable. The is very quick and I have the steering set to sport mode which gives more feel for the drive by wire steering. Acceleration is smooth and constant. The shifter takes a bit of getting used to as pushing forward is reverse and back is forward. I think Audio’s have the same setup. The run flat tires are a bit unforgiving on very bumpy roads but great on smooth roads. If you need an OEM replacement tire go to Tire Rack. I’ve read a lot of negative comments about the driver assist braking system on the car. I’ve had no problems with it. If it’s on and your driving very fast before you brake with another ahead the car will brake hard. I’ve found the car will automatically brake at different speeds depending on how fast on coming up on the car in front on you. So if you usually speed and brake late the car will engage much quicker and harder on automatic braking. It’s not the system’s fault. I think it’s a great system when I see so many drivers texting while they’re driving and paying attention to the road. Good work Inifiniti!!! But again. The system can be turned off easily if it annoys you. Ive never had gassy smells in my car. Certain states use higher blends of ethanol in their gas. That may be the problem. Finally. The car has be very reliable. I’ve had 3 other Infiniti cars. Kept each at least six years. Never had a problem with any if them. My car is extremely comfortable, looks great inside and out, rides like a champ and it has excellent mpg.

2 times a charm

After leasing a 2016 Infiniti qx50, we decided to lease a new 2019 qx50, not as powerful as the original dinosaur V6 in the 2016 model, but very impressive 4-cylinder VVT engine with CVT trans. the interior is very luxurious and we are overall satisfied with the vehicle so far. Less than four thousand miles, crossing our fingers not to have any issues moving forward. Update 2/5/19 Infotainment system will freeze at will. Need to turn the ignition off and back on again for it to reset. Called and spoke to service department regarding the issue said that they have a software update for that. Hopefully solves that problem we'll see?
