When problems show up

Only 11 complaints listed a mileage: too few to say when problems show up.

Questions to ask the seller

  1. Does it accelerate and hold speed smoothly, with no surging or stalling?
  2. Any slipping, hard or late shifts, or a transmission warning light? Ask for transmission fluid service records.
  3. Any oil burning, leaks or check-engine lights? Ask for oil-change records.
  4. Infiniti sent dealers 131 repair notes for this car. Was this one done: “Engine oil level is low or there is unusual engine noise”?

From this year's own recalls, top problems, top repair bills and Infiniti's repair notes. Recall repairs are free at any dealer.

Most owners who filed a complaint with NHTSA had 0K to 18K miles (1K to 30K km) on the car (11 of all 11 complaints filed so far listed the miles). This shows when people who had a problem reported it, not the odds that your car will have it.

Before you buy, watch

Views show how many people looked up each fix, not how often it breaks. Videos belong to their creators; we link to them. The 2010 is the same generation.

Costs are the middle (median) of the dollar amounts people say out loud in these videos, so one wild number can't swing it. They aren't verified bills or sales; real prices depend on year, miles, condition and where you live. Tap Hear it to jump to the moment.

Problems Infiniti told dealers about

Infiniti sent dealers 131 repair notes for this car. The ones about its biggest problems:

  • Engine oil level is low or there is unusual engine noise
  • Transmission shift issues and/or a/t dtc stored
  • The clutch pedal on an applied vehicle does not return to its normal (rested) position

Ask a seller or mechanic if these were done. Some are free under warranty or a special program.

Recalls 0

No safety recalls on record.

Recall repairs are free at any dealer. A recall only matters if it's still open on that exact car, so check its VIN.

It measures complaints, not crash safety. A complaint is an owner's report, not a confirmed defect. How it works
