2015 Infiniti Q50 Complaints

Unknown. Started to make left turn steering made loud banging noise then lost all power. Stepped on gas pedal would not go lost steering control and coasted to a stop. Adaptive steering went out. Almost got hit by on coming traffic.

Transmission valve body failed while driving which caused shifts to be limited. It could have caused an inability to shift at all, which is a safety issue. This issue has been inspected and confirmed by an independent shop. No warning signs were present before the failure. Furthermore, this issue is well known to Infiniti. It’s caused by breakdown of the transmission fluid overtime, causing a reduction in the cooling capacity of the fluid. But Infiniti says that the fluid should be lifetime. This overheating causes the TCM on the valve body to fail. If it failed while I was going at a highway speed I could have been injured.

The car just slowed down super fast on freeway almost got rear ended. It would not go past 3rd gear. Poor acceleration. Could have caused a huge accident. I got it diagnosed and they said it is valve body/speed sensor/tcm and they said this is a COMMON problem for 2015 Q50. I replaced this part 2 years ago and here we go again. Shop diagnosed and said this tcm (transmission control module which is in the transmission) but they have to change whole transmission. Everything happened all the sudden then check engine light came on.

P07200 code came up, transmission is no good because of a cheap sensor that's impossible to fix. seems to be very common and very inconvenient

i’m reporting issues with the valve body on a 2015 Q50. I have had to replace the valve body already at cost of $1700. Many others have had same issue as this is a common defect with the TMC part. This needs to be addressed as a recall.
