Was making a left turn when the steering stopped working and the motor lost power, the adaptive steering quit working after approximately 15 mins. I started the car and it was working. Went a half mile made a right turn and it went out again. Shut off the motor tried to start it and could not. 20 mins later it started and has been working since. Dealer couldn't find the problem and wouldn't fix it, they also said that their were no recalls but I know that is not true. Infiniti had a law suit brought against them for the adaptive steering issue. If they fixed it why doesn't it work right.

Adaptive steering clicks and looses control. Steering wheel jerks back when self aligning. There was a recall for this I believe in June 2016. For 2015 infinity Q50’s but my VIN says that it wasn’t recalled but is the exact description of what is happening.

Car starts up and a little like the battery is having issues with loss of power. The dash board then shows multiple warning lights such as a batter, steering, and stability control. I turn the car back off and then back on and the steering light stayed on. The steering wheel is stuck but the car still moves forward and backwards with very stiff steering. In the past I had the issue checked by getting the steering wheel fluid exchanged and had multiple alignments since . The car would show signs of stiff steering when parking it will get wonky and like won’t move and bumping into a curb with the rear wheels will trigger it every once in a while. The steering has been an ongoing issue for the last year and I can’t figure out what it is but I did find out by Google searching that there was a recall on other models like mine with powering steering assist .

I was driving and tried to turn but had lost complete control of the steering and hit the curb infront. Luckily i was only going 5-10 MPH so the impact was not terrible. My biggest concern is a lot of times my mother drives that car who is permanently disabled in one hand so I can only fear what might happen if she was the one driving the car.

LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AFTER START OF CAR, STEERING PULLS HARD TO ONE SIDE. HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT OTHER Q 50 HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS INTERMITTENT STEERING PROBLEM. I DO HAVE VIDEO OF THE LAST OCCURRENCE, BUT IT EXCEEDS 5MB.

TURNED THE VEHICLE ON, PULLED OUT OF PARKING SPOT AND HEARD A NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AS STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED. THE STEERING WAS VERY TIGHT AND THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. AS THE SPEED INCREASED, THE STEERING LOOSENED, AND AS THE VEHICLE DECELERATED, THE VEHICLE BECAME NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO MANEUVER. THE POWER STEERING FLUID IS FULL, AND THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION. THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS OR INCIDENTS PRIOR TO THIS ISSUE, AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED WITHOUT ISSUE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT.

THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY PULLS VERY HARD TO THE RIGHT REQUIRING FORCE TO KEEP IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE VEHICLE DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY ALIGNMENT ALTERING POTHOLES OR ROAD BUMPS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SOFTWARE MALFUNCTION WITH THE DAS. I AM VERY LUCKY THIS OCCURRED AT LOW SPEED AND WITHOUT MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR.
