Common 2015 Infiniti Q50 hybrid problems
The Infiniti Q50 Hybrid 2015 has been reported to have several common problems by its owners. Although the car is known for its above-average reliability, it can develop various issues as it accumulates mileage. Here are some of the most frequently reported problems with the Infiniti Q50 Hybrid 2015:
- Transmission Slippage: Some owners have reported that their transmission slips from time to time, which can be a sign of a more serious problem. Transmission slippage can be caused by a variety of issues, such as low fluid levels, worn clutch plates, or a damaged torque converter.
- Brake Master Cylinder Failure: The brake master cylinder is a critical component of the braking system. When it fails, the brake pedal can become spongy, and the stopping distance can increase, making it more difficult to stop the car safely. This problem can occur in 2014-2016 Infiniti Q50 models and is often caused by the seals in the master cylinder deteriorating prematurely.
- Premature Brake Wear: Some owners have reported that their brake pads wear out much faster than expected, sometimes in less than 5,000 miles. This problem can be caused by a variety of factors, including driving habits, brake system design, and the quality of the brake pads themselves.
- Premature Tire Wear: Some owners have reported that their tires wear out much faster than expected, sometimes in less than 10,000 miles. This problem can be caused by a variety of factors, including driving habits, tire quality, and the car's suspension and alignment.
It is important to note that these problems may not affect all Infiniti Q50 Hybrid 2015 models, and some may not experience any of these issues at all. However, it is essential to be aware of these potential problems and to address them promptly if they do occur to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle.

STEERING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-03-24
- VIN: JN1BV7ARXFM
- Components: STEERING
- Summary: 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 .
2024-03-07
SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-10-05
- VIN: JN1AV7AP4FM
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: My braking system completely failed while I was driving with no warning of sound or dash safety indicators. The only way I was able to stop my vehicle is by shifting into park while I was in motion. Two days prior to my car losing all ability to brake, my car was routinely serviced by the local dealership. All check points were green, including my brakes. The dealership towed my car back to the service center to inspect. The diagnostics came back as the break actuator unit (computer sensor) shorted which led to no communication to the brake control assist unit (computer sensor). This loss of communication between these sensors basically caused my brake functions to fail. I was fortunate to have been leaving a parking garage and not on the open road. This could have been a fatal incident. The repairs are $7000 of which Infiniti has only offered to cover $3000. This is a safety issue and a loss of faith with Infiniti as a vehicle manufacturer. There needs to be an investigation so no lives are lost. My vehicle is still not fixed.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-01-20
- VIN: JN1BV7AP5FM
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: My car has 60,000 miles on it and multiple mechanics as well as the Infiniti dealership tell me it needs a new transmission. $8,000. It will not shift above 2nd gear. I took the valve body and manifold out of the transmission and was surprised to find that the output speed sensor plug is actually a dumby plug that connects to nothing. I've had cars with hundreds of thousands of miles on them still driving with the same transmission they were born with. I've rebuilt a lot of engines, but never had to replace a transmission, especially not after 60,000 miles. Any, I searched the internet and noticed that it's a very common problem with this vehicle.

The car would barely move and could have become a dangerous situation for multiple people had it been typical traffic. The issue seems to be that although the sensors are corrupted, the entire valve body or transmission must be replaced to solve the issue leaving the car inoperable. The car is currently at a repair shop. The engine light did come on shortly after. PLEASE ISSUE RECALL. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10168892-0001.pdf

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-04-16
- VIN: JN1BV7AR7FM
- Components: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE
- Summary: 4/16/2023 Sunday 5pm With my wife and daughter in the car, I started the vehicle in my driveway and selected Sport mode as usual. Selected reverse and backed into our turnaround then forward to the end of our driveway. Driveway is approximately 4 car lengths long with a 20 ft long apron turnaround. Almost immediately after braking at the end of the driveway while waiting for passing traffic to exit drive, vehicle suddenly accelerated and I immediately pressed the brake as hard as I could to prevent driving into passing vehicles. I could hear the tires trying to grip/spin while I was fighting to press the brake harder to hold it t back. I then panicked and selected the gear shifter to anything other than drive and it immediately did the same in reverse. After getting in into park, I immediately selected Standard mode and the vehicle performed normal afterwards. There were no warning lights or anything to indicate any issues. Previously I had noticed minor intermittent issues of high RPMs when slowing or braking while in Sport mode but it would immediately correct itself. I have not had a chance to take it for inspection as it's now Monday morning April 17. We were all very shaken. Please advise.
