2014 Infiniti Q50 brakes problems

Filed Apr 5, 2026 · Brakes, Driver assistance · FL

On April 2nd I took my vehicle into the dealer for recall servicing. After leaving the dealer I had my vehicle inspected the next day by a third party repair shop and my brake caliper was missing the main bolt that connects to the brake pad. Brake pads were also less than 5% wear remaining. Myself and others were put in serious danger if my brakes had failed due to this serious oversight and disregard. My suspension also was unsafe in the rear but the dealer carried out a multi point inspection stating everything passed.

Traction Control did not function when needed. I had my breaks and rotors replaced two days prior to the accident, which may have had an impact on the performance of the vehicle. Insurance representatives did look over the vehicle, as it is now in their possession. However, I do not feel as though they took the time to look into my concerns. There was no warnings on the Dash.

My vehicle has had to have my rotors replaced 5 times or more in a single year. The dealer said that these rotors get hot and create hot spots which in turn requires new rotors and brakes every 2-3 months. This is an expensive cost for such a luxury vehicle. There is a risk that these rotors will continue to burn through the pads leaving drivers without proper braking systems.

Vehicle would not start and determined that battery was dead. Arranged for jump start (through my roadside assistance program) but vehicle would still not start. Had vehicle towed to infiniti dealership. They figured out a way to charge car (wasn't accessible via front hood since a hybrid) and found a way to open truck to direct access and charge battery. Upon car starting, various error codes appeared. Car dealership had no knowledge of what they meant as they had not seen them before. I contacted infiniti corporate and they associated the codes with a previous das voluntary recall. However, upon further investigation by dealership, it was determined that das update was already applied. To determine the root cause, I was told it would require the car to be partially disassembled. As two of the codes points to a braking system issue, and one to the chassis system, I wanted to verify if this is a safety issue and if a recall is needed. (see attachments for reference)

While driving my vehicle today approximately at 4:20 pm mst, my steering and braking system stopped working while I was driving and as I was approaching an intersection located here in colorado springs, co. This scared me and I thought I was about to die. Is there a recall on the 2014 infiniti q50 hybrid steering and braking system? If so, what do I do about these issues? So many lives are at danger with this vehicle and its steering and brake systems. This must be fixed immediately! I'm in law enforcement and this could be catastrophic for infiniti and nissan.

While driving, the car lost all power, steering and breaking capabilities. All of the dash warning lights lit up. Infinity replaced the ABS system.

I was pulling off from the grocery store and my car stalled like it didnt wantto go. So I stopped and put it back in park and then started to proceed again....thats when I got all the flashing errors for my awd and the chassis system. The rear right ABS sensor is the problem per the dealer. My awd error light and chassis system error light are on along with the ABS light. I've read up on alot of peoples comments about the same problem. This issue needs to be dealt with with the manufacturer as this seems to happen more often after the warranty runs out. This is my second infiniti car, and was hoping not to run into these expensive sensor issues all over again. My next car will not be an infiniti.

My infiniti q50 2014 has intermittent brake booster pump failure that causes diminished braking power at all speeds and at a slips at a stop. The diminished braking affects stopping distances and triggers emergency collision warnings and impact mitigation like seat belt tightening while driving. The condition has happened for the last 24 months. Infiniti refused to address until they witnessed the condition. In late 2016 I was able to show them when it was happening. Their tech diagnosed the brake booster as the issue and repaired. In may 2017 the conditions are now repeating. Infiniti again is refusing to address unless they can witness. The car braking is unsafe with this condition, particularly as you have no ability to know when the intermittent condition will occur. I have email trails of all reports each one it happened and service communications with the dealership. Updated 10/11/17 *bf updated 12/11/2017

This vehicle has an electronic braking system that has made this car handle erratically and extremely unsafe in traffic situations. While traveling at speed if traffic in front of you happens to brake or swerve in front of you this car will brake uncontrollably without notice making it nearly impossible to avoid a collision or change lanes to maneuver around on obstacle or car. Myself and my wife are very scared to drive this car and in freeway traffic you cannot safely change lanes. We feel it is only a matter of time before this poorly designed system which cannot be disabled will result in collisions or death. This has happened more than a dozen times since purchase in april 2014. We no longer feel safe driving this car.

Unsafe vibration and uncontrollable steering when breaking over 40 MPH. Sonar sensors doesn't not work at all. When traveling on the highway or streets and above 20 MPH when breaking for a traffic light there is an intense vibration that shakes the car and steering wheel, also make turning, controlling the steering wheel and staying in the lane extremely difficult!
