Problem Description: "I am filing this complaint to report a recurring, serious defect in my 2017 Infiniti Q60 regarding the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system, throwing OBD-II code P052E. The vehicle experiences severe loss of power while driving, rough idle, and a strong odor of burning oil inside the cabin, which poses a fire risk and inhibits safe operation.

“Car malfunction light comes on spontaneously and runs rough and losses power and rpm can go to 4 at 35 mph and usually happens when car is idling parked for a little while. Them I cut it off and let it sit it goes back to normal. I also had prior problems with it smoking from tailpipe and it’s documented at dealership in Columbia SC and they said it wasn’t smoking enough to replace the turbos at the time but I got a notification from manufacturer about turbo malfunction.”

“The evening of April 17th, 2022, I started experiencing an issue with my vehicle. My car started making a fluttering noise it sounded like someone was shuffling a deck of cards and the RPMs would get to 3 during acceleration then drop and I’d lose power. There were no warning lights present, no notification or indicators on my dash, no odors, and no smoke emitting from my car. I parked my car at home not knowing what the issue was or where the noise was coming from. The next morning, I called to schedule an appointment and I booked with Infiniti in Timonium. After scheduling my appointment, I went out to check my car and when I started it the noise was still there. It ran for a few seconds then my check engine light cut on. Looking to get a pre-diagnosis to have additional info about the condition of my car I take it to Autozone on liberty road to have codes pulled. The codes that came back were P0014 and P0024 both camshaft codes. However, there were still no other symptoms of odor or smoke just the fluttering noise and now my check engine light. On the way back home my car stalls at Liberty Road and Rolling Road and won’t cut back on. I contacted AAA and had…”
