For those who have issues with slow windows, DO NOT GO TO THE DEALER. Buy a lubricant silicone spray and spray along your window frame , give it 5 min and then put your window up and down a few times and bam brand new fast as hell.
Awsome share bro, my 18 redsport is starting to do this.
Bro my shit got stuck a couple days ago I was just about to buy a whole new regulator….
Driver window started happening when cold for 1st use in day of window; only time it happens. No other issues. Had G35 for 10 years and only 10-yr battery went out but that's standard...and life. Other than driver window issue with Q50, no issues in 4 years.
Depending on how bad it is when we have that issue come in most of the time we just clean the track and then spray it with DRY spray lubricant if you don’t use dry spray it will work for a little bit then actually get worse more and more debris will build up (Infiniti technician)
@@tomz-5129 thank you!! what do y'all end up charging it as though? haha
I like how minor these issues are, the Q50 is a very loyal luxury car compared to its competitors.
You’re talking about audi, BMW ?huh 😂
Transmission failure isn't minor
@@cyb3rs3c Nor is turbo failure
Word unless his mom's is paying for his car failures 😂
wdym minor issues? I don't think having to change your turbos, rear sub frame, and transmission valve body are minor issues lol
My valve body went out and had to change my transmission. 2015 Q50s, went out around 79k miles
Dealership price
New transmission: $9,445.15 (labor and part)
Used transmission: $6,568.15
Local mechanic : $3200 with everything included
*just for those who wanted to know , those are actually numbers that I was quoted *
Mine at 79,800
For the belt failure you need to loosen the the a/c compressor and push it back and tighten it that’s why the belts would fail when you do that if you catch it early enough you won’t have to change the belt but if you still hear chirping then replace the belt (I’m an Infiniti tech and I own a 17 Q50s)
@tomZ-512
Have you guys ever ran into the issue with the 2016 q50s red sport where there is a delay when the car is put in reverse?
I need a way to contact you my belt failed
It did the chirping and popped
i had this issue. 2 infiniti dealers turned me away telling me they couldnt duplicate and they wouldnt warranty the repair just becuase. paid nissan to change the belt and look at it. running fine ever since.
I have a question I have a Q50 I can't figure out why the compressor won't ingag I changed the clutch and pressure switch what else could it be is there more than one persure switch
@Speed Culture Studios Thanks for the info! I'm preparing for the valve body. Local Nissan dealer just quoted me ~ $2,500 out the door for replacement. Coming from Audi and BMW, this is a small price to pay. Love my Q50 Sport!
For those of us w/ just lowering springs, Tein now has an adjustable shock option (in case your factory shocks go you don't have to choose between oem and coilovers).
What’s your feedback on those?
^^^^^ I’m deciding on rsrs or TEIN

I personally purchased a universal 10 row single pass fluid cooler from Mishimoto and used -6AN hoses to cool the ATF in my 16' 3.0t Red Sport 400 awd, currently odometer is showing 93,346 miles and it was one of the best mods I've ever done. The cooler does the job perfectly, by matching up the hoses to the oem hoses i don't see much pressure loss or increase of pressure in the valvebody, it's not cooling the ATF too much or not enough. I can beat on here and drive it hard, or be sitting in traffic in the summer and it's working perfectly. I monitor my ATF temps just to be sure. My next upgrade will more than likely be another Mishimoto universal fluid cooler to replace the OEM oil cooler, but I'm monitering oil temps, just to be sure, since the red sport models have a thermostatically controlled oil cooler, guess we'll see in the next month or so.
Yup, my 2017 q50 has a blend door problem on the driver's side. To fix it I have to turn the temp all the way high and then all the way cold. Then it works.
This video helps alot. I was having A/C hot on one side and cold on the other side. and I know how to fix now. Thank you
I was trying to figure out why my A/C was doing that, glad you listed that actuator in this video I can finally fix the problem.
This is a pretty spot on list but I will say the injector/fuel rail issues seems to be more common to those running ethanol blends especially those going up to E85….91,93 guys have been pretty safe from this issue . This a pretty short list compared to bmw,Audi, and Mercedes so your so right on just keeping an eye on things ….great video 💯
Your statement about the German manufacturers is 100% correct lol
Great Vid man...lol u got me at the end, I hate those small issues on the interior, and I had the window issue on my G35,G37 QX60 and both my Q50 smh its a common problem.
In my view, your videos need to be required viewing for any Q50 owner. Your videos have saved time and money. Most recently I changed the blend door actuator and I am now ready to change the trunk struts and later serpentine belt. Thank you!
I appreciate that, Frank. I try to bring as much value as possible as I go through some of these things myself. I'm glad you've found them useful!
Bought my '17 Q50 Sport CPO. Purchased the Wrap Policy Elite Warranty through Infiniti. HIGHLY recommend it if you're looking to buy an Infiniti. Covers bumper to bumper for 8 years from date of inception with zero deductible. I have had almost everything this video talked about mechanically done at no charge out of pocket.
Can you get this warranty if you bought from dealership other than Infiniti?Just bought a 2018 silver sport with 87k I want to protect myself
@@Skilly713 I don't think so. It was only available on Certified Pre-owned vehicles sold through Infiniti. Could be worth a call though. If not, there are aftermarket warranties that are really good though.
My 14 q50 3.7 base (no sunroof) had 111k miles 🦍 still going strong 💪🏽
Never had issues with the valve body?
@@lordofthehearth2740 I did with my 2015
I’m at 86k and my 2014 Q50 is currently at the dealer having the blend door actuator and the radiator/engine coolant fan assembly replaced. $2000 poorer, but this is the most significant thing I’ve had to get done so far.
You lucky this damn sunroof gets on my nerves
thank you sir have a 15’ awd limited 3.7 in black with 120k miles 2 tone 19 inch wheels , just bought it. picked it up for 9800 cash its had the differential fluids changed / trans so far and spark plugs. It’ll be a fun project. starting with coolant flush. Pretty fun. Been taking it easy, shifts smooth. Still daily my 400 hp taurus it just feels like a cross over to drive and sits higher and it’s a little more convenient. i don’t like how heavy the pedal is in the q50. My g35 was reliable and I had a g37 for a short time and was missing that VQ. Very happy with the q50’s sound system and interior capabilities. Sounds good on cold start ! Probably going to just replace the rear dif bushing when i go in for rotors here soon. Having a slight strut-pop kinda noise from the rear when I launch, but 5 seconds to 60 and gets great fuel mileage around 75 compared to my taurus.
This video is on point I am from Jamaica and I have had some of these issues with my 2015 Q50, most I have fixed
* Break Rotator
* AC
* Noisy Widow When Wet
* Shocks
* Interior Trim Issues
* Deck Lid Struts (trunk)
* * * Maybe Valve body Failure trying figure this out.
Recently found your videos, they are great.
Thanks a lot for watching!!
3.7
-Cam and crankshaft sensors
-power steering pump
-front end links (especially if you have aftermarket rims)
-valve body/speed sensor (especially if you have aftermarket rims)
I got hit with the valve body 🤦♂️ $1,500. The dealer gave me good warranty doing it with them.
Power steering pump 🙋🏽♂️
What's the relationship to the valve body/speed sensor and aftermarket wheels?
@@Chris-ww9uo different size. Creates different outpit
@@tristanoliver2911 oh ok your referring more to different over all diameters.
Currently Diagnosing my 15 Q50. Misfire on cylinder 4, Mass Air Flow 1 & 2 Low circuit voltage and random multiple misfires. Changed the plugs and noticed a tad bit of oil on a few so now going to replace the injectors and valve cover gasket. Fun.
I'm having multiple misfires on cylinder 1, replaced the plugs. Running ok at the moment
can't believe that I just watched this video couple days ago, and today my q50 blend door actuator get failed~ thanks for the info, so I can save the money for bring the car to the dealer.
Mine is out now too!
Hey I’m from NC and am an Infiniti tech. Yeah turbo failure and also engine failure is very common on the OLDER VR30, think they fixed it 2018 and afterwards. Mostly an oil starvation issue similar to what the RB motors had from what I’ve heard, very rare issue is having a porous engine block that allows coolant to leak.
The blend door motor is a bitch to get too, just a tight space.
The slow window issue is most likely a window run needing replacement, easy to do.
And as you said lots of valve body’s but I don’t see it as often. Great video as always!!
Thanks for the input!!
@@maxziplock possibly yes a smell. Best way to tell is by pressure testing it and lifting the vehicle up. If you see coolant seeping through the block then it’s porous. I’d start by checking all hose connections first tho and seeing if I can find a trail of dried coolant
Thanks for posting on here.. i have a 2018 q50 redsport and i have an oil smell in the car when driving. Not driving hard at all but just oil smell inside the car... i had Infiniti come pick up the car but they could not find anything wrong.. does not use any oil but i have also noticed quite a bit of black oil gunk on the tail pipes.. i have a catch can and check it regularly but want to get ideas on where this oil smell is coming from because its not normal.. Oh im a long time g35, g37 and q50 owner. Its still under warranty and i am in alabama so my closest dealer is 4 hours away... any thoughts on things to keep an eye on? I think its injector or turbo related..
@@_mathtutor3334 if it’s a vr30 chances are probably turbos
slow window .. how is that fixed ? i am having that issue on driver side
Keep the content coming. Your vids come in handy. I have a 2018 q50s and for every part that breaks I will use it as an excuse to upgrade it. 😈 Don’t tell my wife 😂🤫
Thanks a lot big jay!
I’m geting the same car in a teen is it worth it?
one I've experienced on the VQ37 and I've seen others having this issue as well is the plastic coupler for the heater hose. It gets brittle and can leak or full on fail causing coolant to leak every where. I replaced mine with a metal one to avoid this "ticking time bomb".
Happened to me 3 weeks ago
You have a link for a good metal one?
@@Trent_Moorman look up “Dorman - Help Heater Hose Connectors - 3/4 In. X 3/4 In. Connector - Metal” on advance auto part.
Happening to me right now. It sucks cause i kept buying coolant just for it to leak back out. Even changed the thermostat and radiator cap. Came down to that damn connector thing.
@@The_sTress yea is a common issue but no worries you’ll be good man once changed
Our Q50 the left driver window started going down slow a month ago. We took it into Infiniti service when we got an oil change and they fixed it no charge, but didn't explain what they did to fix it. Thinking still either it just needed to be lubricated or leaves got stuck down there or dirt buildup not sure.
wow my old q50 3,7 had the trans value body and ac blend actuator go out within the first 2 months but luckily the warranty covered both
What were your symptoms with the trans? Mines acting funny. Shifting hard and feels like it’s drag in the transmission. Seems like the torque converter is always in play
Dang shoulda watched this before i bought my 2019 q50..., its warranty is till 110k for all mechanical and electrical, yeah i paid a bunch extra, im glad i did...
My valve body is beginning to show signs of failure. Luckily. We can upgrade our transmission to a vr30 trans relatively easily. And that’s what I plan to do
Might as well right!
What year is your Q ? And how much would the upgrade be? Thank you
i have a q50 base model. had the rotor problem also.
I have 2008 g35xs vqhr fbo and I never have any problem is very solid only ting I do is the maintenance
Awesome content. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Useful content, I just bought my first car and it happens to be a 2017 Q50s hybrid
Just bought mine… 2018 q50🙈
Thanks, man. Important stuff. Btw, at about 40k miles, my deck-lid struts also failed. I tried aftermarket replacements, but ultimately had to get pricey OEM parts.
One of the first things I had to replace!
Lollll i’m scared asl. You mentioned the valve body which I see A LOT of in the Q50/Q60 group. I’m between that 65k-75k miles. I’m sitting a 77k miles, out of warranty margin. Fingers crossed for my baby. My hood struts also failed… Fell on my head. And the chrome trim on cupholder peeling.
I’d like to add one though. The heater hose coupler. The plastic piece inside the hose becomes brittle and fails causing a small coolant leak. If this happens, i recommend the Z1 coolant bleeder port. Way better than a piece of plastic.
Good addition
My Q50 has the same exact problem, the rear heater hose is leaking a little bit of coolant. I'm scheduled to bring my car into the dealership next week Thursday to replace it. Did you fix yours yourself ???
Im a 2018 q50'er, 3 sensors out so far, cam shaft sensor (lower right), speed sensor and windshield fluid sensor. 125k miles.
my 2014 qx50 journey awd was made in Japan, 3.7l , 7spd. they have not been made in Japan in a long while, Mexico is my understanding now, im hoping this fact makes a difference in longevity and reliablity.
I just purchased a 3-year old q50 and read they were very reliable. Had 2 g37’s before this and never had a problem. Of course I had to replace the rotors after 10 years but that’s expected. I just hope the q50 lives up to the g37 reputation.
They are great cars!
Had the same thing happen in my 14. Blowing heat on the driver side and cool air on the pass side. At least I stayed warm loll
They must have fixed most of them. Only problem I have had in a 125k is the ac Actuator and brake rotors
Rear abs sensors I see pretty common also. I’m nearing 70k and so far so good with the trans, keeping my fingers crossed haha
I’m with ya!
my car acted up on a downshift and the check engine came on one day. it went into limp mode and stopped shifting past 3rd gear. the valve body went bad on my 2014 3.7 at 90,200 miles
@@adrianbrothers6925 mines went bad at 115k miles I’m using my income tax to get it fixed since I have the title to the car I don’t wanna sell it
Definitely had the deck lid struts, front & back rotors and A/C actuator go belly up. I've got 65k on my 2015 so I'll start watching for the other things. Great video!!
The motor just siezed up on my 2014 q50 with 88k so yea fuck these cars
@@ryanharvey9800 damn sorry to hear that bro, i’m at 125k rn and no major issues other than a radiator going out, suspension on all 4 sides, trunk and hood struts, and my oem battery just went out a few weeks ago, i also have a 2014 but still going strong !
I agree, my 370 has a warped stock rotor. It also just lost the fuel sending unit at 64K. So I am guessing till next month. I ain't working on it until the holiday is over. I need all new rotors and pads, lines. it is a 2010 model, so all the electronics are showing the bad Nissan years. You know which parts the gaijin approved.
I replaced my m37 rotors for about $400
@@theglassarrow_ I am going to go with the stop tech calipers and EBC rotors carbon ceramic pads. Metal lines. it is a base model Z so it needs the full gambit.
2015 Q50 Premium AWD definitely showing the slow window thing, especially on drivers side 🧐
my 2017 signature edition is doing the same lmao
Check my comment
@@EpicRudeDude I have a ‘17 Signature and my driver side window is slow as hell too man, only in cold weather though
My 2018 q50 driver side window is so slow sometimes 😂
@@PodHubExcerpts For those who have issues with slow windows, DO NOT GO TO THE DEALER. Buy a lubricant silicone spray and spray along your window frame , give it 5 min and then put your window up and down a few times and bam brand new fast as hell.
Knocking on wood as I type this, but nearly 200k miles on my 2015 Sport Hybrid RWD, and so far the only things I have had repaired were the transmission replaced for a cracked bell housing at 63k miles(they replaced with a different part number, transmission from 2016+ maybe? Happened in March 2019), and I had a rear sway bar replacement when I ran over some debris on the highway and it somehow snapped one end of the sway bar loose without breaking anything else. Both were done under warranty(I had the 8 year unlimited mile bumper to bumper up until a month ago).
Do get the slow driver window occasionally, but just hit it with lubricant once or twice a year.
Great run!
New subbie when you said ac cold on one side... I'm experiencing that now!!! I'm waiting to see if you mention speed sensor...
I’ve heard a couple people mention speed sensor lately!
On my 2013 g37 my passenger cat is going bad should I get some berk test pipes or what u guys recommend .. car is still stock jst got kn typoon intakes
Love how the most replayed is the part about serpentine belt. For good reason too lmao, he is NOT lying about that shit either, it will shred, just a matter of time. Get a Gate®️ replacement belt, pretty sure they’re cheaper. Back in December 2023 mine shredded while I was driving on the highway, not fun.
Surprised the Steering rack wasn’t mentioned but overall very good information to note.
I don’t think the steering issue is as prevalent as the issues mentioned. I’ve heard some complains over the last several years, but not near as many as other issues.
I got a 3.7 2015 q50s.
The suspension is trash as fuck , it’s super common to have that issue . Lookin to replace mines .
The chrome peeling inside is true . Mines is peeling.
Factory rotors are true on my sport , got them resurfaced and once they ruined I’m have to replace them.
Transmission is still good at 85k.
But he’s right with the common issues. I got a backup 3.7 belt in case it shreds.
That’s why I traded my 2014 q50 for a 2016 Lexus IS 200t f sport I was having transmission problems already with the q50 with only 38000 miles my lexus it’s slower but more reliable and more fan to drive
1. Definitely true I have a Q50S and just ordered some drilled and slotted rotors because of the vibration from the factory rotors.
Yea bro same problem here
what was costs??
U nailed it with this video! Blend door actuator was about to be replaced on our 17 q50 Signature with 49k miles the other day. Dealer quote was around $518. Please post a video on how to replace that, I would greatly appreciate it. Already replaced belt once & rotors resurfaced too. Dealer couldn’t confirm my suspension concern so, I’ll keep an eye out on that next 😧
Keep up the great work! Thank you 💯 😃
The video he referenced on my channel will get you all set till he commits to doing the replacement himself. The link is in his descriptions and It’s super easy!
I bought a 2014 with 1 year warranty left. For that 1st year it was a good daily while warrantied. Within a week or 2 past warranty, that car fell apart on me like it was on a stop-watch. Will never touch Infinity crap again. Acura reliability for the win, every time.
Yah my 3.7 2015 q50 my trans blew everything u said I pretty much I encountered But I just can’t let go I love my car
They are great cars!
Have had to replace rotors and trunk struts on my 2014 Q50S hybrid. I only have 50k miles on it, but it's great to get your observations.
Thanks for watching!
2014 q50 premiums hybrid all wheel drive 75k around 55k dealer did back suspension subframe. I had extended warranty so didn’t pay or this. Nothing else done bullet proof . Off-course oil filters tires. My wife car she says is too old now 😂 to many miles 🤣🤣. I am on the fence to let it go as a trade in.
My rear struts were done by 30k miles, replaced them with new ones but preferred the broken ones because it was much easier to close.
Hey Maybe you can help me out. I have the exact same car...im getting a pulsing in the breaks that feels like the abs is kicking in for no reason. happens about 45% of the time i'm coming to a stop. Also getting really sensitive breaking sometimes. most of the time its good but then maybe 15% of the time it comes to an aggressive halt with the slightest touch of the break.....very intermittent. Any thoughts?
I have a 2010 Altima with the slow window issue. 12 years and 200k miles later, they haven't stopped but they're still slow.
Lol, as long as they’re still working!
Every single one of these I’ve had to get replaced except rear diff but maybe I need to check that too 😂
Hit you hard 😂
I bought my 15' Q50 with 70K at 81K my Valve body failed, When I opened the tranny up the fluid Looked like TAR, Infiniti says tranny is maint free for 100K BS!!! CHANGE YOUR FLUID REGULARLY , I swapped the entire trans from a salvage Car 30K. Good Video!!!! Keep em coming!
My car 2015 q50 AWD has 42k. And it’s showing symptoms of failing what should I do? Would changing the fluid help or do I need a whole new valve body. I’ve seen people swap it out for a 3.0 trans
2017 Q50S 113.000 km and only fluids and brake replacement ;)
Thanks for this video! Have you needed to replace the transmission valve body yet? How much would that typically cost?
No I haven’t. It’s quite expensive and doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t happen again. Many people are simply upgrading to the vr30 trans
Is the there fix for the super loud squealing when rolling down wet windows?
Great video as always! Did you experience all of these failures or which ones have happened to you on your q50 so far?
List was made from what I have seen in the groups and forums and based on the questions I have gotten from people in regard to repairs
I have a 15' q50s 3.7 awd and it has 150k miles on it and here is whats broke so far: power steering high pressure line leak, front tie rods, front shocks slowly starting go, steering lock (i just disabled it). That's it asides from maintenance. I track it and drive it spiritedly quite alot. Car is stock tho asides from exhaust. Otherwise it still runs and drives great and transmission running great too
Very good!
Very true..... just don't go to the dealership for parts...... please, it's getting up there with Merc parts.... 🤯🤦♂️
So same with my q40- I have changed my valve body, my diff is leaking as well. My rotors warped at around 50k miles. My door actuator failed as well 🤣. I have changed all these so I’m not worried anymore
Got them all out of the way lol
@@SpeedCultureStudios lol
2015 q50 3.7 sport (motordyne exhaust motordyne Advanced Resonance Tuning Test Pipes k&n cold air intake) Ecutek n dyno tune at around 40k. Haven’t had a single maintenance issue running smooth @110,000 only thing I’ve done for preventative maint is changed rotors brake pads spark plugs and serpentine belt and change the oil every 4,500 miles🤞any recommendations?
Rotors came first for me at 80,000 and I’m worried about the rear differential…damn but the rest is chillin cause I’ve actually modified quite a bit, my struts are not stock and I did this because the car is heavy AF let’s be honest the whole deal with the stock struts is probably because it’s a heavy yacht of a sedan with cheap struts. Also my injectors are not stock did that cause figured they didn’t ratio properly or use the right injectors for a big engine like a 3.7 as most other car companies have as well failed to improve on, and I upgraded my oil pan, got an oil cooler, heat exchange, carbon fiber hood to lessen the weight of the car a bit, upgraded sway bar, and lastly with the rotors I did not use the stock rotors I upgraded those and the break caliper as well.
Sounds like you have a nice platform you're working with. It's a solid car over all. Just like any car, they are bound to have their quirks.
You make great content
I really appreciate that!
Kind of late but I recently had to replace the heater hose connector. Little tiny piece of plastic that is destined to go out. Infiniti says they replace those very often
How much they charge you? It’s an inexpensive fix if you do it alone part is only 10-15 bux. They where charging me a couple hundred like 500-700 on my GTI until I saw many videos on how to do it. It was a bitch getting through all the stuff and firewall and took me an hour or so even though I think it would of been less if I had more experience, but it was well worth it
I’m planning on getting a used infinti but as a daily driver ig 🤔
My valve body just went out all of a sudden yesterday... Was leaving the supermarket and got some really hard shifts and now it's stuck in 1st gear
I put a set of Drilled Rotors on my QX50 man made a big difference
It’s a good upgrade!
glad we watched this so we know what the flaws are
Thank u so much for the video. I recently bought a Q50 2.0 2015 model and sometimes when I accelerate it seems that the power does not go to the right gear. RPM goes high quickly to 4000-5000 but vehicle does not move fast as it suppose to be. Can u pls tell me what could be the problem?
Sounds like the valve body issue mentioned in this video
I have those same wheels on my Jaguar XJL Supercharged. Looks great on the Infinity.
Great choice!

2014
#3 has fail on me a couple months ago
My wife’s 2014 3.7 Q 50 had a lot of those problems but one I didn’t hear you mention or haven’t seen in the comments that I believe is fairly common is the infotainment center going out and there really isn’t much of a fix aftermarket wise. And it seems like every one of these problems is $2500 … damn
I haven't heard of the infotainment issue--at least not on a large scale. I know the 2014 system was a little laggy, but I haven't heard many talk about the thing just going out completely.
2017 Q50T
Literally started hearing the "chirping" sound especially when it's warm or after getting the car washed with undercarriage spray! Everything else mentioned, slow windows, heavy trunk.. hell I think you were talking about my car overall! 🤣 BTW I had to replace my blend door Actuator!
lol such common things!
I just changed my rear diferential fluid and noticed a stained diferential and the bushing is cracked, dried out. At this point I'm just leaving it alone. Car drives just fine
What are you running for your wheels
Listen to him the belt is highly recommended and rotors just all the way right
Hello my 2014 q50s is showing signs that the valve body is going bad. I just wanted to know if you would happen to know of any private shops in socal that would be able to do the repairs ? Or do you think I should go straight to the dealer? Also I’m at 85k miles so I’m passed the warranty sadly
Dealer will be super expensive but wouldn’t hurt to check with both
All of what you stated has happened. Got a turbo replaced, windows squeal, and is slow rolling up. Struts on hood , gone to shit…. Low key I fuckin hate this car. But love it
Lol I know the feeling!
Hello sir! how do you feel about the rear mounted turbo kit made for the q50 3.7? Worth it?
It’s awesome!
Where do you get that?
Couple honorable mentions: 1 - Driver seat squeak/creak. Thankfully the radio is loud to mask this. The squeaky seat makes me insane. Of course the recommended fix is a new seat. Not happening with an out of warranty car. There are internal memos concerning this complaint but no real solutions to my knowledge. 2 - Wheel speed/ABS sensor failure. This one is fun because it causes a bunch of errors to pop up. When one of these go, the ABS isn't functional, the AWD/traction control goes bye bye and you're back to RWD only. The errors are for AWD System, ABS and Chassis Control. Car still runs and drives fine but without the traction control and my heavy right foot, I'm squealing tires like a 16 year old kid. Getting this fixed in a couple days.
some infiniti suv's also have a problem with that same diff bushing
I’m sure it’s the same subframe used, unfortunately
The comment that chrome flashing on the dashboard trim will eventually flake reminds me how bad the plastic parts in automobiles was 50 years ago. I had a 1975 Chrysler Cordoba that I purchased new. Pretty soon, and well out of warranty period, which was much shorter back then, the plastic shelf on the top of the dashboard developed a large crack. Later one of the tail light lens assemblies fell off. At least that occurred sitting in the driveway, and I was able to glue it back together. Cars were much simpler back then and thus more reliable but the cosmetic plastic used in those cars was much inferior. I may be somewhat biased now that I am able to keep my cars sheltered in the garage and out of the sun most of the time. These days we are accustomed to drive trains lasting hundreds of thousands of miles with only routine maintenance while the engines and transmissions are much more complex than what we had then.
great perspective!
Need help with issues on my 16 Q50 premium 3.0T awd. Installed aem intakes and jb4 tuner, then car went into limp mode after 3 days. Threw throttle position sensor code. Not sure if related. I removed it and no issues since. Then replaced aem intakes with stillen and did a muffler delete with straight pipes, months after, car randomly died on highway. Very scary. Then tried installing Z1 motorsports hotbox piggyback tuner and it threw throttle position sensor codes and engine started up hard and running rough. Turned it off then engine wouldn't fire back up. Removed it, then it fired back up. Z1 asked if its been tuned. I have no idea. Doesn't seem tuned. Also, when I accelerate from a stop and then let off the throttle, the car jerks and gives me whiplash, I can't tell if valve body, back pressure, or something else. I have to let off the throttle very slow or it jerks. It almost acts like it gets stuck in gear. Please help. I've taken it to a Nissan dealer and they couldn't find anything. There are no Infiniti dealers anymore in my area. Also, owners manual says transmission is maintenance free. Is that true? U never have to service it?
My 2019 q50 with 24k miles does a little rev up sometimes when its going to upshift so maybe that could be the valve body going out?
Possibly but I don’t think it’s as common in the newer Q
Rear wheel speed sensors. Also any updates on diff bushing???
No updates yet on the bushing that I have heard-other than “soon.”
2017 q50 RS here. Got a check engine light a few days back, car ran fine until I noticed revs were hanging on longer around 3k. Took it to Infiniti and unfortunately my valve body is no bueno. I was told that the parts and labor would cost me over 3k but luckily my car has 47k miles on it and that it was still covered under warranty!
Dang! Don’t hear about valve body issues much with the vr30 trans.
@@SpeedCultureStudios happened out of the blue! Just a normal commute to work one morning and the check engine light nonchalantly popped up...
Im having tranny issues also, first it was a bad tcm, now im throwing the same code and its in limp mode again, luckily i have 47k also on my 2016 q50 rs so my warranty is close but its still there so im getting it fixed this week
My shifts are a bit boggy while going slow around 1-2.5k rpm’s I wonder if my trans is starting to fail.. 2016 rs
I had the belt fail it didn’t shred but it was squeaking and I replaced it at 20,000 miles on a 2016 red sport. I now have 47,000 trouble free miles on my Infiniti so far, Minus the belt of course. I change my oil between 3-5k. Change my air filters every other oil change as well. I want this thing to last forever. You definitely left out the shitty run flat tires that come with it ,the Dunlops are terrible. They have terrible grip and they are noisy as any tire I’ve ever had. They are probably as noisy as the all-terrain‘s on my super duty.
Well, the run flats won't necessarily "fail" so I wouldn't include them, but they do suck! As do all run flats for the most part.
What did you replace then with?
Lol. I literally got notified that I'm getting new turbos on my 2018 q50rs like 3 hours ago. 😂
At least under warranty, right!?
@@SpeedCultureStudios yeah, covered under warranty. I had to take it to 2 different dealerships, but I finally won the argument. And of course the turbos are on backorder.
Please share this info bro... i have an 18 redsport also still in warranty. I get a slightly oil smell normal driving.. no oil loss that i can see anywhere...
@@_mathtutor3334 I got a 2018 redsport also my passenger side turbo got replaced under warranty and the tensioner pull with a belt. My driver side turbo sounds like the turbo turbine is rubbing against the housing I took it back to them they said they can't hear the sound and just to keep an eye on the noise.
Valve body went out on my Qx80 @ 75,060
Dang the QX isn’t safe either!
14 maxima nice car but CVT value body went out at 90k. I’m assuming the new q50 is more reliable than the old models with the 3.0t
Thank you I guess 🤣🤣🤣🤜🤛
Great video 👍
I'm living in New Zealand and I got a q50s Hybrid AWD. In her very hard to find spare parts and now I'm looking buy the front shock absorber. Would you be able to give an online store?
Thanks
Thank you for watching! I'm not sure of sites that ship international, but you could try infinitipartsdeal.com or check out moog's website.
@@SpeedCultureStudios thank you so much, I'll try....👍
I have a 2014 hybrid and I was told that the hybrid battery is going out and that cost over $10,000 I'm looking to buy a rebuild one so far the car is running good still with no problems it causes the check engine lights to come on time to time other than that the car has been faithful to me but I'm decided if I want to fix it or sell it 🫢🫣🤞🤞🤞
Pretty sure the diff bushings can be had directly from whiteline or there is no difference between it and the G35/G37/Q50 diff bushing
Z1 says they are not compatible with the Q50. Outer metal sleeve is different.
My valve body just completely failed on me out of the blue. 2015 q50 with 53,000 miles. Thank god I got the extended warranty because that would have been 4,000 dollars out of pocket otherwise
@ 91,000 miles on my 3.7 I'm receiving abs warnings and AWD high temp warnings. Apparently bad speed sensors are common with this platform as well.
These cars are known for the fuse box by the battery to short out too causing tons of problems
And theres 2 abs module fuses in that fuse box ehich will cause the awd to overheat and change timing. Air to fuel ratio sensors and throttle delay relays and everything
@@TonyG2012my g35 kept doing that
