What owners report
On October 11, 2026, while driving my 2019 Infiniti QX50, I experienced a sudden loss of engine power. The check-engine light began flashing, the engine started shaking and making a knocking noise, and the vehicle would not accelerate beyond approximately 20 mph despite pressing the accelerator. This unexpected loss of power created a serious safety concern because I could no longer maintain normal driving speeds. In February 2026, at approximately 170,450 miles, my vehicle underwent an inspection at Infiniti of South Atlanta under NHTSA safety recall 25V437, involving defective engine bearings. The dealership informed me that the vehicle passed because insufficient metal debris was found in
While driving on the highway, all of a sudden I heard a very loud boom and then heard some wind/air movement. The sunroom shade was closed but when i pulled over and got out, the sunroof was shattered and the sunroom framing was coming off the car. The glass that fell into the car was caught by the sunroof shade but there were large chunks of glass on the outside too with some pointing outward (as if explosion from inside and pushed it out). If the shade was open, glass would have fallen into the car and potentially caused injury to me and my dog.

While driving my 2019 Infiniti QX50, the engine suddenly lost significant power and entered failsafe (limp) mode due to a diagnosed VCR actuator fault (diagnostic codes P11A8-00 and P11AC-00). The sudden power loss caused a single-vehicle accident. No injuries. The vehicle had recall 25V437 service performed at Infiniti of White Plains on 08/27/2026. The check engine light was documented as ON during that visit. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether the VCR actuator failure mode can cause sudden power loss creating a crash risk.

While driving on the highway the vehicle would not accelerate and the oil pressure light came on. After pulling over we noticed a slight burning smell and cut the engine. After a few minutes we tried to start the car again and it would not start. Vehicle was towed to independent repair shop who told us the engine had seized. We then learned of the current recall effecting this make model and year of vehicle. The vehicle experienced the same series of events outlined in a service bulletin for the recall. Vehicle was then towed to local Infiniti dealer and they were told the engine is seized and asked to drop oil pan per recall guidelines to confirm and diagnose. After not hearing from dealer
