The engine was having issues, increased RPMs while simultaneously experiencing loss of power/stalling. This was experienced by both my wife and I.    Infiniti's determination was the Mass Air Flow Sensor and told us the issue was not covered by the platinum, bumper to bumper extended warranty they sold us due to the warranty only covering mechanical issues, not electrical. The service tech was able to get costs waived as factory warranty covered such events to 75k miles.  We picked the car up on 2/8/2023.  On 3/18/2023  the car was again towed to the dealership. The intermittent issue that was thought to be the Mas Air Flow Sensor and electrical, hit suddenly and with such force the car would not run whatsoever and stalled out on a very busy 50 MPH Parkway and my wife had to maneuver her way to safety with cars flying all around her. No obvious sign of electrical mass failure, lights still on, etc.   On 3/24/2023 I received a call and was told the engine needed to be replaced, the cost was $32k, and that the warranty\u2019s fine print says that the warranty will only cover up to the fair market value of the car, which they determined to be about $21k.   I\u2019m responsible for their faulty engine & poor mechanical workmanship?   I was sent pictures of debris and springs sitting in the bottom of the dropped oil pan and a separate photo clearly showing a disintegrating cam shaft / lower engine area adjacent to the oil pan. Catastrophic and very avoidable failure (this is not an engine in a military vehicle or motorsports vehicle).  I believe the problem was never the Mass Airflow Sensor, it was the alloys used in this area of the engine that were failing. This failure is not the first for Infiniti (have been reading forums)","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2018","productMake":"INFINITI","productModel":"Q50","manufacturer":"Nissan North America, Inc."}]}]}
