2015 Infiniti Q50 brakes complaints

Filed Nov 2, 2015 · Brakes, Engine · 3,000 miles · PA

On numerous occasions while in motion at various speeds the vehicle will audibly alert, brake, steer, and deaden throttle response. These are related to enhanced safety features of the vehicle. The problem is that these occur when there is nothing to avoid or any danger present. These have occurred at high speeds and in situations where they could have caused an accident. My local dealership blamed all issues on the placement of an ez pass transponder. I find this to be completely absurd. Infiniti customer care will not assist. I have disabled all of these systems to avoid potentially dangerous situations. I note in the dates that this occured on 10/10/15, however there have been multiple instances. On 10/10/15 the vehicle steering had to be held at 30-45 degrees to the left to keep the vehicle in a straight line.

Recently I was sitting at a stoplight about 3rd in line behind a ford explorer. I live in atlanta so stoplights are extraordinarily long. I had the car in drive obviously and my foot firmly on the brake. About 5 minutes into the red light my car starts to slowly move forward while my foot was still firmly on the brake. The movement was similar to if the brake had been released and the car was coasting in drive. Fortunately I left some distance between myself and the explorer in front of me, but obviously a moment of panic comes over me when my car is moving forward with my foot on the brake. I attempted to push even harder on the brake with no results, my car is still inching forward closer and closer to the explorer in front of me. The brake felt firm like it should be working. I had to think fast and then slammed the gear shift into park. This finally stopped the moving vehicle in what seemed like only millimeters in time to avoid rear ending the SUV in front of me. This is the second time this has happened to me where the car starts to move at a prolonged stop while my foot is on the brake. I'm going to try to replicate the incident in a controlled safe environment today, but needless to say it was a very scary moment and I'm truly worried about the safety on this vehicle.
