do not buy this car or the nissan rouge if they have run flat tires. I have had my car for 4 months and got a routine flat tire. i was perplexed when I found no spare in the car. i took the infiniti to the nearest dealership who told me the run flat tires cannot be patched. they must be replaced. the car does not come with a spare. so 12 days later I am still waiting for the OEM replacement from japan, india, or china-who knows. I get on average 3 flat tires a year because of the heavy home construction in southern CA, and 40k miles a year I put on any car. if you want a car that you cannot drive anywhere, this is the car for you! I cannot drive to vegas, phoenix, anywhere, because there are no services for 75-100 miles in the middle of the desert. I cannot wait in the 115 degree heat for a tow truck that will take 4 hours to get to me. this run flat no spare tire is an asinine idea, and a serious consumer safety threat. I now have to replace all 4 tires with Michelins that can be patched and I still will not have a spare... I do not want to lug around a 5th rim and tire in my passenger seat, or smell that stink in the cabin. so, if you want to pay $1300 for a rental car and $325 dollars for a replacement tire, and have no spare, and have the car down for 45 days a year THIS IS THE CAR FOR YOU. demand the tire replacement and a spare/jack b 4 buying. or die in the desert, get robbed, raped or murdered, waiting for a tow truck. I paid 41800 on an msrp of 47800.
Disappointed

The larger size is the improvement. That is all. The turbo 4 very noisy and no comparison to the former model V6. Infiniti is know for their performance/responsive engines; “why change”? Any change in gas mileage is virtually non existent. Lose the electronic transmission. Think about it; any time you have to read a manual to figure out how to put the vehicle in reverse, neutral or park is an issue. Going from my Q50 to the QX50 is always another learning experience. The lane departure warning sends a “vibration” up through the steering wheel. Very unsettling. Think about it; go back to a sound/beep. Now turned off! Heads up display; not needed, not wanted and a total distraction and turned off. Infiniti may want to try some focus groups next time. The previous model only had a size issue but much better and friendly high level performer. This new one will not be a flagship leader and hope some changes made (better fix this one and do same for the upcoming coupe which sounds same except you slant the roof...is there really a market for a coupe model?).

I just purchased QX50 a couple of weeks ago so far i love the car so i haven't had a chance to give it a good work out. I'm waiting for the weather to get better. This is my second Infinity the first was a 2007 fx35 so i do know Infinity is a good car. I had know problems with it at all. So i really excited about getting it on the highway. It's a lot of fun to drive. I do have a small complaint about the gear shift it takes a little getting used to it's different from the others. So i will be back to give another review when I put it to the test.

I'm driving around 40mph and BAM my car slams on the breaks! No one was in front or directly behind me, 2nd time this happened to me. This car is absolutely junk, the screens shut off while I'm driving and the system reboots.... it's cool, i wasn't relying on the GPS 🤦♀️... this car is a death trap!!! When i spoke to Infiniti about the issues they brush it off as it's not a big deal?!?!? Really? I'm so disgusted in Infiniti and sadly until someone dies, they won't address the problem!!!!

I have driven Toyotas, Hondas, Lexus, Mercedes and Lincolns before. I change my cars every 2-3 years, as I prefer lease them. I wish I had read some of these reviews before purchasing this 2019 QX50. I have had this car for a year now and for the amount of money I am paying, I expected something that had gone through extensive testing prior to being released. This car has several design flaws. First of all, why would you put the car in "park" with a button??? Yes, there is no "P" on the shift. It's a button right beside it. I think this is very unsafe. Second, putting the car in neutral is a whole other problem. You have to barely tap the shift back, but this doesn't always work. So every time I go through the car wash I have to tell the attendant to give me a few extra seconds until I can put the car in neutral. Very frustrating! I had several instances when I started the engine and the infotainment was off (I always have the radio on). I would press the on button but it wouldn't turn on. This gets fixed once the engine is turned off and then on again. The dealership was able to fix the issue with an update. I had to leave the car at the dealership for a few days for this. Another issue I had was that every time I would back out of the driveway, there was a sound in the sunroof track area like there was something rolling back and forth. At the dealership they said they disassembled and reassembled the tracks to fix the issue. Now the sound is like something hitting metal. I am tired of going back to the dealership. This is a lease and I am just waiting to hit 2 years to trade it in. My daughter-in-law has the same car and has had the same sunroof issue as well. Additionally, sometimes her car makes this weird sound like it's on first gear and it's on high rpm when it's on drive-standard mode. They haven't been able to replicate it at the dealership so she is having to deal with it. She is also having issues with Bluetooth calls. She is just as frustrated as I am! Another thing that I can't stand about this car (as others mentioned as well) is that it slams on the breaks for no apparent reason. I keep my distance from the cars in front so this is very annoying. There were only 2 instances when it actually reacted when it should have. Two days ago I was driving under an overpass (I drove through this area many times)and it suddenly stopped and "beeped" like crazy. Did it detect a ghost?? This car is just a nicely dressed Nissan Not worth what I'm paying for it :( NO MORE INFINITI FOR ME!!!
