Questions to ask the seller
- Were recalls 19V807000 (brakes) and 19V654000 (back over prevention) done? Ask for the dealer printout, or check the VIN.
- Has it ever braked hard for no reason? Ask whether the safety-system software was updated.
- Does it accelerate and hold speed smoothly, with no surging or stalling?
- Infiniti sent dealers 142 repair notes for this car. Was this one done: “2013 JX35, 2014-2019 QX60, 2014-2017 QX60 HYBRID; VIBRATION AND/OR NOISE WHEN MAKING LOW SPEED…”?

How serious. Out of all 14 owner complaints filed so far (every year since it was sold, not just the first 3), owners reported:
“Average car” = what the same number of complaints would include at the rate across every model year we track. Owners report these themselves; NHTSA doesn't confirm the cause.
What owners complain about most. From owner complaints to the government.
Share of this year's owner complaints filed with NHTSA, not the share of cars that break. One complaint can name more than one area.

When owners reported problems. From owner complaints to the government.
Most owners who filed a complaint with NHTSA had 1K to 21K miles (2K to 34K km) on the car (10 of all 14 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.
Fixes owners look up most.

Every Infiniti QX60 year. 2019 is highlighted. Lower is better.
Newest year first. Red = worse than average, gray = about average, too new (2023+: a partial score, marked “partial”) or too few complaints to score. #1, #2… = that year's YouTube rank among the 11 Infiniti QX60 years with enough videos (#1 = the year owners and reviewers talk about most positively). It is not a reliability rank.

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