2022 Infiniti QX60 Common Problems by Component
22 owner complaints grouped by vehicle system.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
6 complaintsOwners of the 2022 Infiniti QX60 frequently report issues with the panoramic sunroof and infotainment system. Multiple complaints describe the sunroof glass spontaneously shattering while driving, often without any external impact or prior damage, posing a safety risk due to flying glass and potential distraction. Additionally, owners report problems with the infotainment system's Apple CarPlay and Android Auto features, specifically related to the ringtone volume adjusting unpredictably during calls, which can lead to startlingly loud rings and possible driver distraction or swerving. These issues are reported across various mileage ranges, with some owners noting the sunroof problem shortly after acquiring the vehicle. Safety implications include the risk of loss of vehicle control due to distraction or startled reactions from sudden loud noises.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
5 complaintsOwners report frequent issues with the electrical system of the 2022 Infiniti QX60, particularly related to battery and starting problems. Multiple complaints describe the vehicle failing to start after being parked, requiring frequent jump starts, and persistent warning lights appearing on the dashboard. These issues often occur despite battery replacements and other service interventions, with some vehicles having less than 2,000 miles. Additionally, owners mention malfunctioning features such as the car alarm going off unexpectedly and problems with the rear hatch opening and closing unpredictably. Safety implications include the risk of being stranded due to the vehicle not starting, but no crashes or loss of control are reported.
POWER TRAIN
2 complaintsOwners of the 2022 Infiniti QX60 report issues related to the power train, specifically noting valve seal deterioration at around 24,000 miles, which leads to leaking and damage to cabin air filters. Additionally, there are reports of unexpected acceleration during manual downshifting, where the vehicle increases throttle instead of reducing speed, despite no input on the accelerator pedal. This behavior has been described as potentially hazardous, as it requires sudden braking to avoid collisions. These issues are significant for potential buyers, as they highlight mechanical concerns and possible safety risks.
SERVICE BRAKES (2 complaints)
SERVICE BRAKES
2 complaintsOwners of the 2022 Infiniti QX60 frequently report issues with the rear brake pads needing replacement approximately every 15,000 miles, with one owner detailing replacements at 15,080, 30,279, and 42,731 miles. Another common issue involves the vehicle jerking when coming to a stop, especially at slower speeds, and requiring increased brake pressure to slow down effectively. These symptoms are reported after the vehicle has been driven for a short period, suggesting a potential degradation in braking performance over time. While no crashes or loss of control are reported, these braking issues could impact driving safety, particularly in urban environments. Prospective buyers should be aware of these patterns and consider them when evaluating the vehicle's maintenance history and current brake condition.
ENGINE (2 complaints)
ENGINE
2 complaintsOwners of the 2022 Infiniti QX60 report engine-related issues primarily involving stalling and unexpected shifting into neutral. One owner describes a complete engine stall at approximately 29,564 miles, leading to a hazardous situation on a busy road, while another reports the vehicle intermittently shifting from drive to neutral, affecting both highway and street driving. These issues have been noted across different driving conditions and have persisted over the course of two years for some owners. The stalling and shifting problems present significant safety risks, including potential loss of vehicle control and exposure to high-speed traffic. Prospective buyers should be aware of these patterns and the associated safety implications.
STRUCTURE (1 complaints)
STRUCTURE
1 complaint2022 QX60 equipped with a Panoramic Moonroof. While in Florida 850 miles from home, I was traveling alone at about 35mph when I heard a loud explosion. It sounded like a gun shot at close range. I kept driving but observed my surroundings and there was no traffic, no construction, nothing overhead, no warning lights. When I got to my destination a couple miles away, I inspected the vehicle, fully expecting to see a bullet hole or shattered rear window from a bullet. What I found was the front moonroof had shattered and mostly still intact. It had blown up and out and not inward as it would if it were hit with a projectile. I contacted the nearest Infiniti dealer in Mobile Alabama 100 miles away, but they couldn’t look at it for at least 3 weeks. I covered the moonroof with heavy plastic and duct tape to keep the elements out of the vehicle and keep the moonroof intact as much as possible to help with Infiniti’s investigation. The cullet that had fallen into the sunshade was vacuumed up and kept also. After a tense 850 mile drive home, at times in torrential downpours, I contacted our local Infiniti dealer who wanted to inspect the vehicle. They informed me that their investigation could not determine a cause, but they did know it was not a warranty issue and denied it. I had the moonroof replaced by a local glass repair shop and then had to take it to a body shop to have the headliner dropped so cullet could be removed. I talked to numerous Infiniti representatives throughout this process, and everyone asked if I filed an insurance claim, I had not. Insurance should not have to pay for a manufacturer's defect that is still under warranty. As an Engineer for a tier one auto supplier that manufactures automotive safety glass for most major automobile companies, I can say with a high degree of certainty this was due to a manufacturer's defect or a design flaw. Due to the circumstances at the time, Nickel sulfide (NiS) inclusion is the most likely cause.
TIRES (1 complaints)
TIRES
1 complaint255/50R20- I have done every service at the dealership except one (last one). I was told all 4 tires were worn out and they refused to rotate tires, took it to another place and was told the same. Vehicle has 27,000 and both places told me it was very unsusual. Called dealership and they directed me to bridgestone which refused to help as well claiming tires from manufacturer have no warranty. Makes no sense!

VISIBILITY
1 complaintThe contact owns a 2022 Infiniti QX60. The contact stated that while driving above 60 MPH, the driver's side mirror would vibrate, impairing visibility of surrounding vehicles. Additionally, the contact stated that the failure also occurred while driving on rough or bumpy road surfaces. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer however, the failure could not be duplicated. The contact notified a second dealer, Ramsey Infinity (535 NJ-17 S, Ramsey, NJ 07446), who advised that it was a known failure; however, they could not assist. The vehicle was then taken to a third dealer, Edison Infiniti (842 US-1, Edison, NJ 08817), where the mirror and the mirror housing where replaced; however, the failure persisted. The third dealer informed the contact that he needed to wait until the manufacturer had developed a remedy for the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and confirmed awareness of the failure. The contact was informed that he would be notified whenever a remedy was made available. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.

How We Calculate Reliability Scores
Auto Reliability Index scores are calculated on a 0–100 scale using a weighted formula that combines multiple public data sources. Each factor is weighted based on its predictive value for real-world ownership experience.
Key Ranking Factors
Complaint Severity
NHTSA owner complaints weighted by component category (e.g., powertrain, safety systems, electronics, cosmetic) — safety-critical issues carry more weight than cosmetic ones. Adjusted for sales volume so high-volume models aren't unfairly penalized.
Repair Costs
Independent reliability ratings based on repair frequency, average repair costs, and severity of typical repairs for each model.
Recall Impact
Number of NHTSA recalls weighted by severity. “Stop driving” and fire-risk recalls are penalized more heavily than minor software or labeling recalls.
Issue Diversity
Measures how many major vehicle systems (engine, transmission, electrical, braking, etc.) have recorded complaints. A vehicle with issues spread across many systems may indicate systemic quality issues.
Scores are grouped into four tiers:
- 80–100: Excellent— Top-tier reliability, minimal issues
- 60–79: Good— Reliable with some minor concerns
- 40–59: Mixed— Notable issues, research before buying
- 0–39: Risky— Significant problems, proceed with caution
Data is sourced from NHTSA recall records, owner complaint filings, and independent repair databases. Scores are recalculated as new data becomes available. While the weighting model is proprietary, all underlying data sources are public and traceable.
