Car will stop accelerating with no warnings then will start back move when you let the sit for and hour. Engine light will not light up when the incident happened so the problem can not be diagnosed until the engine come on. However when the engine light does come you can take to dealership and they will tell that the transmission speed sensors need to be replaced in which the sensor is located inside the transmission and in conjunction to that it is recommended that the valve body should be replaced also. This has been a problem with a lot of the infiniti's with years ranging from 2014-2019 with 3.7 liter engine.

Headlamps low beams do not illuminate properly. The is absolutely no illumination above a very low horizontal plane when going down a hill or up a hill. In some cases, there is no light visible beyond 30-40 feet. This creates an extremely dangerous situation when navigation hilly roads. In fact it is downright scary to drive this car at night. Spoke to dealer and they adjusted the beams as high as they could, but this did not help. Just last night i almost hit a deer. I could not see far enough in front to the car. Luckily, i was driving slowly and i was able to stop in time.

Steering is dangerously unsteady. car reacts to road surface and will pull right or left without warning. Dealer denies a problem. this problem is repeatedly reported to NHTSA.

Both my wife and i feel that the heated steering wheel gets too hot to comfortably hold continuously. This encourages the driver to turn off the steering wheel heater while driving. Unfortunately, the switch is located in the lowest bank at the drivers left knee where it is very difficult to see. It is also in close proximity to the switches to turn off the vehicle dynamic control, back-up collision intervention and warning systems. All of the above combined result in the driver having to direct their attention away from the road and to the lower control panel and, in addition, makes it likely that they will inadvertently turn off a vehicle safety system. The service manual provides a range of 68f - 86f. The dealer measured mine at 120f. Since this closely matched another q70 on the lot it was deemed "normal". I submit that it is not and believe that it needs to be attended to before it results in an accident. *tr
