Subject: Safety Complaint: 2017 Infiniti Q60 - Recurring P052E Fault (Engine Shared with Mercedes) Vehicle Information: Make: Infiniti Model: Q60 Year: 2017 Engine: (Insert Engine Size, 2.0L) Incident Details: Code: P052E (Crankcase Ventilation Valve Performance) Symptoms: Check engine light, strong burnt oil smell, rough idling, low engine output/lack of acceleration. Problem Description: "I am filing this complaint to report a recurring, serious defect in my 2017 Infiniti Q60 regarding the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system, throwing OBD-II code P052E. The vehicle experiences severe loss of power while driving, rough idle, and a strong odor of burning oil inside the cabin, which poses a fire risk and inhibits safe operation. …
Air bags
The contact owns a 2017 Infiniti Q60. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the seat air bag sensor, requiring the entire passenger's side seat to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related it to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V244000 (Air Bags) but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 48,000.
Airbag Occupant Sensor for passenger seat ceased to function. "Passenger Airbag Off" indicator light remains on even with passenger in seat. Check airbag light in dash remains lit. Took car to infiniti dealership to diagnose. They quoted $8000 repair price to replace entire seat frame. They claim the sensor is built into the seat frame and individual sensors can not be replaced. The quoted price is more than half the value of the car and is cost prohibitive to repair. I have read many posts where this is a common problem for this car. There was a recall for earlier car models with similar problem but this car is not covered. See Infiniti bulletin [redacted] . It is the same problem. I feel unsafe driving this car now but the repair cost is unreasonable and infiniti should not make the repair so expensive as it compromises the safety of the consumer.
Fuel & propulsion system
Car malfunction light comes on spontaneously and runs rough and losses power and rpm can go to 4 at 35 mph and usually happens when car is idling parked for a little while. Them I cut it off and let it sit it goes back to normal. I also had prior problems with it smoking from tailpipe and it's documented at dealership in Columbia SC and they said it wasn't smoking enough to replace the turbos at the time but I got a notification from manufacturer about turbo malfunction.
1. The engine and turbos failed making the car un-driveable. 2. My safety was put at risk because I had to immediately pull my car off the road in fear that my car would completely fail or catch fire. 3. Yes 4. There were no warnings prior to the failure. It failed out of nowhere. Proper maintenance was done.
