2019 INFINITI QX50 ESSENTIAL 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

Purchased the QX 50 AWD Essential; Lunar White, tan interior a couple of weeks ago. Have driven it over 1,000 mikes already and loving it. The ride is exceptionaly smooth, quiet, and refined. The Bose audio is spectacular and the zero gravity front leather seats rival Volvo’s best. If you are looking for a spacious CUV that is not too large with luxurious appoiments and great MPG, this is the one. Terrific value.

New engine needs work

Test drove this new model at the dealer and was not impressed. I have been driving Infiniti products for almost 30 years and it seems that the more tech that they put into new models the worse the product becomes. The style of this new model was a plus along with the interior room and look. The problems showed up in the driving. I found the power to be surging while in city traffic and while on the highway the power was slow to show up when I needed it. The feel of the wheel just feels artificial due to the intelligent steering system. The same problem I experienced on my Q50 when that model was first introduced. Braking felt soft and I just didn't trust it. This vehicle is just not for me.

We have this car about 3 months now. Have approximately 3500 miles on it. We experiencing a hug defect on this car. In October, I drove the infinity to the gym in the morning 5:20am. It was less than 1 miles away, parked the car outside about 70 minutes. Went home, parked the car in the garage 2 hours. When I got in the car and started, the fan came on. It was so loud that we can hear it inside the car with all windows up. It was on over 40 minutes from my house to work. Got to work, shut off the engine, restarted the car, the fan immediately came back on. This happened 4 times now. We do believe something is not right. Took it back to the dealer, they cannot fix it, said it is per design, not a defect. Bought this as a luxury car, not luxury at all. Now, I am worrying about the safety of myself and my passengers. Not sure when or if the engineer is going to die on the highway. If anyone has the same problem please report it. We are at a loss regarding what to do next. Would not recommend to buy, there is still a lot of problems on this vehicle to work out.

Having engine fume smell others are experiencing

The car is overall super nice looking inside and out. Gas MPG was a let down, but overall would be happy with it if it did not emit fumes into my garage from the hot engine, which ends up coming into the house for hours. The fumes have caused runny eyes, sneezing and sore throat for us to name a few. I now HAVE to park the car outside and I have to deal with the elements when getting into my "Luxury" car I paid a lot of money for! There is something wrong with this new engine, and Infiniti needs to take action. If you have this issue, post your review so Infiniti can't tell others they are not aware and continue to do nothing.

Scared to Drive

I've had my car for a little over 4 months now and I'm terrified to drive it. Let me start off with I am a big Infiniti fan and have never had any issues with my previous cars. The driver-assist controls/ Emergency braking have been malfunctioning to where i'll be going down the road at 30-40 miles per hour and it will automatically break. It's not a slow break, it's a full on from 30 to 0. I have been very lucky that the few times it has happened know one was behind me. It's a very scary and dangerous situation. It's currently in the shop, but they have already called saying everything is checking out fine. Be cautious with buying this model!
