Description of the problem | I have a 2015 infiniti q50. I believe i'm experiencing the same fuel pump eco mode problem as the 2016-2017 q50. Me, my wife and newborn daughter were on our way home on the express way during rush hour in eco mode with approximately 35 miles before empty, we were about 2 miles away from the nearest fuel station. We were traveling east doing about 40 mph due to heavy traffic when all of sudden my q50 started to bog down and then eventually stalled . Luckily we were right next to the shoulder. I pull over pop the hood looked everything over and all seemed fine. Tried to restart and car would turn over, start, and then stall as if there was isn't any gas in the car. After calling my father in law , while waiting, i looked up the symptoms and saw the same issue in the 2016-17 models, recall #17v476000 recall date 07/27/2017 component electrical system: software. I mean symptoms were spot on exact. I believe this needs to be investigated as i'm probably not the only person with a 2015 q50 experiencing this. With the caliper of this car this should not be happening and i most definitely don't want this to happen while my wife and daughter are traveling together without me. I also called the infiniti dealership for them to only make me feel like they didn't want to deal with it. Please help safe car. Gov |
