2025 Infiniti QX60 Common Problems by Component
16 owner complaints grouped by vehicle system.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
5 complaintsOwners report several issues with the 2025 Infiniti QX60, notably involving the wireless phone charging pad, which overheats phones to the extent they shut off, raising concerns about potential fire hazards. Another frequently mentioned issue is the vehicle's spontaneous locking, which occurs even when the key fob is inside, leaving owners locked out and unable to access the vehicle remotely, with some incidents occurring while the car is running. Additionally, cabin vibrations are described as intermittent, often associated with the noise cancellation system, and a sunroof shattering incident is also noted. These issues begin to appear shortly after purchase, with one owner experiencing cabin vibrations within the first month of ownership. Safety implications include the risk of being locked out with the car running and potential overheating of devices, which prospective buyers should consider.

1 complaintI have disable their rear emergency breaking over 10 times. Every time I turn the vehicle off it turns back on automatically. I have a trailer mounted bike rack hooked up to my vehicle and every time I back up it slams on the breakes. I have take then steps to turn this off but it will not remain off.

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.
