Phoenix is demanding on a Infiniti Q50. Extreme heat, stop-and-go traffic and long highway miles on the I-17, the 51 and the Loop 101 all show up as wear. Below are the Infiniti Q50 problems owners report most often, what each one looks like from the driver's seat, and how we fix it.
Most Common Infiniti Q50 Problems in Phoenix
Ranked by owner complaints filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for the Q50. Counts reflect reports filed, not the share of vehicles affected.
1. Steering
133 NHTSA owner complaints for the Q50 mention steering (25% of 512 reviewed).
What it looks like:
- Loose or wandering steering
- Noise when turning
- Hard-to-turn wheel
- Steering warning light
What we do: Steering complaints deserve prompt attention. We inspect steering components and alignment so the car tracks straight and responds predictably. See our suspension & alignment page.
2. Electrical System
91 NHTSA owner complaints for the Q50 mention the electrical system (17% of 512 reviewed).
What it looks like:
- Slow cranking or clicking when starting
- Dim or flickering lights
- Battery or charging warning light
- Random electrical glitches and dead accessories
What we do: Electrical problems are made worse by desert heat, which ages batteries, cables and connectors. We test the battery, starter and charging system and trace faults to the actual part. See our battery replacement and starter & alternator repair pages.
3. Engine
82 NHTSA owner complaints for the Q50 mention the engine and cooling system (16% of 512 reviewed).
What it looks like:
- Check engine light or rough idle
- Overheating or coolant smell
- Loss of power or poor mileage
- Oil leaks or low oil
What we do: Engine and cooling complaints are best caught early in Phoenix, where heat pushes cooling systems and engine oil to their limits. We diagnose warning lights and check coolant, hoses and oil condition. See our check engine light diagnostics and oil change & maintenance pages.
4. Power Train
81 NHTSA owner complaints for the Q50 mention the powertrain (15% of 512 reviewed).
What it looks like:
- Rough, delayed or harsh shifting
- Slipping or loss of drive

What it looks like:
- Airbag or SRS warning light
- Seat belt that will not latch or retract
- Open safety recall notices
- Seat or restraint warning messages
What we do: Airbag and restraint issues are often tied to open safety recalls, which are repaired by the manufacturer at no cost to you. Check your VIN on NHTSA's recall lookup first, and we can help with related warning lights and diagnostics. See our auto repair page.
Infiniti Q50 Check Engine Codes to Know
When a Q50 owner mentions a trouble code in a complaint to NHTSA, these come up most: P0720 (output speed sensor circuit), P0500 (vehicle speed sensor), C1138 (manufacturer-specific chassis code), C13E9 (manufacturer-specific chassis code). We scan and test before replacing parts. See the full Q50 code list and our check engine light diagnostics.
Infiniti Q50 Maintenance in Phoenix Heat
- Test the Q50 battery before every summer, and replace it proactively around the 3-year mark
- Follow the severe-service schedule for oil and fluids, since Phoenix heat and traffic count as severe use
- Inspect Q50 brakes and tires twice a year; heat and stop-and-go driving wear both quickly
- Check coolant level and condition, and inspect belts and hoses for cracking
- Service the A/C early; a weak system rarely fixes itself
- Replace wiper blades and check lights, since sun destroys rubber and plastics
