NHTSA Complaint #10787579 — 2015 INFINITI Q50

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.
