What owners wrote

When I bought my 2014 infiniti q50 I put it on the road and then I started receiving recalls. I also had several lights on. I brought it back to dealership they did something like clearing the lights without even looking at it. 45 days after I bought this vehicle I was in a serious motor vehicle accident. I almost died and I lost my spleen. One of the airbags didn't deploy which was the reasoning for losing my spleen. I believe my steering locked up and ended up hitting guardrail. Total loss.

Reported at 70,000 miles, July 2020 CrashInjury

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.
