We have classified the 8 complaints from 2014 Infiniti Q50 about TIRES into the following categories.
This afternoon i had another blowout of a run-flat tire. this is the 7th blowout in under 17 months. over my driving career i have driven over a million miles, by my calculations, and have never had a blowout. i was traveling at highway speed on the long island expressway when i hit a small pothole. tires are bridgestone 245/40 rf 19 98w.
I purchased a 2014 infiniti q50 new from the dealer. the car had approximately 6,500 miles on it when the right front tire side wall cracked. the repair shop noticed that the left front tire had a bubble and also needed to be replaced. both front tires were replaced the week of 5/17/15. one month after the replacement on 6/24/15, the right front tire sidewall cracked again.
I would like to complain about the tires on my infiniti q50. they are dunlop p245/40 rf19 dot u28t. i have 20,500 miles on my vehicle and have blown 6 tires. all tire failures have been cause by the sidewalls of the tires blowing out. the most recent event happened 6/4/2015 and the tire was in service since 4/18/2015. all four original tires failed and now two more have failed. is there any recourse i have against the tire manufacturer and/or car manufacturer. these are obviously defective tires and should not be sold.

On may 28, 2014 purchased a new infiniti q50. 1 week later noticed a bump on the front driver side tire a dunlop 245/40r19. contacted the dealer and they said it must be a warranty issue on the tire. a week later the tire blew up in that bump and i neither the dealer nor the dunlop dealer in pr acknowledged there was an issue with the tire. i had to replace the tire at a net cost of $530 each. about 7 weeks later another tire revealed a bump this time was the rear passenger side tire. the dunlop dealer indicated the bump will allow the use the tire until a road bump matches the exact location of the bump that will cause the tire to break and empty. on 10-04-14 that event happened and another tire got damaged. this again is a dunlop tire 240/40r19 which has engraved on it a number u28t atbr0914. according to the dealer and dunlop tire representative there is no formal recall on these tires, hence i had to replace the tire with a new one, so another $530 for a new tire. i am very concerned as a 3rd tire is now displaying a very small bump and i suspect it will develop into the same scenario of the previous 2 tires. the car only has about 7000 miles driven, to there must be a problem.the vehicle was purchased at ambar infiniti in puerto rico. more details, pictures of the tires, and vin # available upon request. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 infiniti q50 equipped with dunlop tubeless tires, size: p245/40r19 (na). while driving approximately 25 mph, the front passenger side tire deflated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the tire separated from the rim. the tire was replaced; however, the failure recurred on five other occasions for each of the other tires. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate vehicle and tire failure mileage was 2,000.
After driving approximately 1/4 mile, the car began to pull to the left very strongly; strong enough to pull me into oncoming traffic if it had not been so early in the morning. i thought i had a flat tire but the tire pressure monitors said the pressure was proper @ 36 psi. this strong pull lasted about another mile and then subsided. it has occurred 2 more times since then. dealer had the car for 2 days and indicated that perhaps the road was uneven or it was just sensitive driving and i am not used to it. i know what a car pulling to one side feels like and each time this feels like a flat tire. if it happens again i will not allow my wife or anyone else drive the car; it could causes a serious accident. *tr
