Have a 2017 Infiniti Q50. Really love the car. Despite being over 7 years it is in great shape and still looks great. Tons of fun to drive. Hardly had any problems with it as it approaches 100k miles.
This year I have had some issues with bent rims causing annoying vibrations and ended up buying new wheels. The Discount tire kids were really excited for me. Me not so much. Also had a few other check engine lights that led to it going in for warranty work. Warranty goes through Feb2025 since it was a CPO.
Ideally wanted to keep it longer term or give it to the college kid to upgrade her ride a few years and 50k miles.
Last time it was in for work at Sewell, I asked my service guy, whom I trust, what are the biggest concerns for this car over 100k and out of warranty. The G37 the college kid inherited is basically bulletproof drivetrainwise. Was this one similar? He said the biggest concern would be the turbos. That if they go it is a 8 to 10k repair (yes I understand that is a dealer price, but it would still be really pricy) on a car that is worth about that much. Looked up what was involved with the repair and it is insane. They have to drop the whole engine to get to them. After that conversation I started to rethink the idea of keeping it longer term.
Monday the check engine light came on along with some icons that seemed to indicate proximity sensor problems. The icons went away, but the check engine light stayed. So I took it in Tuesday.
Heard back yesterday that the turbos had oil in them and were being replaced!!!!
Don't think I have ever been that happy about a repair diagnosis! All the more because I thought it was in for some sort of electrical sensor issue.
Now I might just rethink my rethinking about keeping it and/or giving it to the college kid.
