STEERING:AUTOMATED/ADAPTIVE STEERING
If the vehicle does not steer as the driver anticipates, there is an increased the risk of a crash.
5 safety recall campaigns, 2 defect investigations, 30 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
If the vehicle does not steer as the driver anticipates, there is an increased the risk of a crash.
If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
The stall-like condition that occurs when the electric motor stops working may increase the risk of a crash.
The damaged housings could crack and fracture, creating road debris and disabling the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The vehicle may gradually accelerate due to the throttle chamber reopening. This unexpected acceleration may increase the risk of a crash.
Two 2014 INFINITI Q50 HYBRIDs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
