Re: I'm in the market for a Q70 Hybrid
I haven't read about any significant trouble in here ... but a quick search lead me to the following recalls for the Q70 hybrid manufactured in 2014:
Due to a software error, In the affected vehicles, if the signal is lost from one of the two throttle position sensors (TPS), the engine control module (ECM) will go into a fail-safe mode, partially closing the throttle chamber. Should the lost signal be restored, the throttle chamber may open, regardless of the position signal from the TPS. The vehicle may gradually accelerate due to the throttle chamber reopening. This unexpected acceleration may increase the risk of a crash. Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the ECM, free of charge.
The affected vehicles may have been assembled with transmissions whose housings were damaged during their manufacturing. The damaged housings could crack and fracture, creating road debris and disabling the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the transmission assembly and replace it if cracks are found, free of charge.
Due to a software error, the electric motor may stop working while the vehicle is being driven using the electric motor only. The stall-like condition that occurs when the electric motor stops working may increase the risk of a crash. Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the motor inverter software, free of charge.

Long as you verify these repairs (if needed) were completed, I reckon there is no need for worry.

Re: I'm in the market for a Q70 Hybrid
I am also looking at the hybrid options. I've found quite a few that are 2012 or 2013 with 30k miles. My question is about the mainanence on these vs the standard cars. Anyone have any idea how long the battery is supposed to last? What other things should I be looking at in terms of upkeep vs the standard?

Re: I'm in the market for a Q70 Hybrid
I've got a 2012 m35h and now have 112,000km on it. No issues with it, gas mileage is great (26-28mpg) 95% city. Transition between electric and gas is not as smooth as toyota or lexus. Warranty on batteries is until 160,000km i believe. Other than that it's just the same as the gas version.
