Should You Buy the 2025 Infiniti QX60?

Reliability is good for this model year, and it ranks among the stronger of the nine QX60 years scored. Against other 2025 SUVs it lands close to average. Independent repair-cost data puts yearly repair costs at $639 for the model, well under $1127 for its class. The federal crash-test rating is 5 of 5 stars.

Owner complaints cluster around the engine, fuel system, brakes and wheels. Some cars shake at idle in Drive, and one engine died and stopped on the highway. Another car shut down at highway speed and needed a tow and a new fuel pump at 12,287 miles. Others hesitate when pulling away from a stop, then surge. One owner reported the brakes locking hard before a red light, and another found a loose wheel at about 4650 miles. One federal recall covers the hydraulic service brakes.

The 2024 rates worse and has 3 recalls. The 2026 rates better, with 3 complaints and no recalls, though it has had less time to collect complaints. On a 2025, ask for proof the brake recall was done, and have a dealer check the wheels and idle behavior before you buy.

Compared to the 2026 Infiniti QX60, which scored 6 points higher. See also the 2024 Infiniti QX60 for an earlier comparison.

Used Buying Checklist

Key things to inspect or verify before purchasing a 2025 Infiniti QX60.

  • Leave the key fob inside, shut the doors, and step away to confirm the car does not lock itself.

  • Charge your phone on the wireless pad during the test drive and check whether it gets hot or shuts off.

  • Inspect the sunroof glass for cracks, chips, or signs of replacement.

  • Let the engine warm up, then sit in Drive at a stop and feel for vibration or rough idle.

  • Accelerate hard from a stop onto a fast road and watch for a pause, a surge, or a stuck low gear.

  • Check rear rotor condition and pad thickness, and ask for records of any brake or fuel pump work.

  • Confirm every lug nut, including the wheel lock, is present and tight, and listen for front-end clunks.

  • Drive at highway speed and note any shaking or swaying through the steering wheel or body.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

5 complaints

Doors lock themselves after the driver steps out, even with the key fob left inside, which locks people out of the car. Some owners regain entry only through the Infiniti app and worry about a child being shut inside. The wireless charging pad can heat a phone until it shuts off, raising fire concerns, and the dealer response described was that nothing could be done. Other reports include an intermittent cabin vibration and noise tied to the active noise cancellation system, plus a sunroof that shattered while driving at about 30 mph.

5 complaints total

ENGINE

3 complaints

Vibration and a rough idle show up while stopped in Drive, at traffic lights or in stop-and-go traffic, and are often worse after the engine warms up. The shaking continues despite regular oil changes and maintenance. Owners suspect an engine mount or idle control fault, but no confirmed cause is reported. A more serious report describes the engine dying and the car coming to a full stop on the highway, which creates a real crash risk in traffic.

3 complaints total

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

2 complaints

Sudden shutdowns at highway speed leave little time to reach the shoulder, and one such car needed a tow and a new fuel pump at 12,287 miles. Separate reports describe hesitation when pulling out from a stop: the car pauses as if stalling, then surges forward. The transmission can also stay stuck in a low gear under acceleration. Dealers have not always been able to reproduce the hesitation, which leaves the problem unresolved when merging into fast traffic.

2 complaints total
SERVICE BRAKES (2 complaints)

SERVICE BRAKES

2 complaints

Rear rotors warp and rear pads wear down to 1mm or 2mm before 22,000 miles, and in that case warranty coverage was refused. A more alarming report describes the brakes locking up hard when approaching a red light behind other cars, releasing only after repeated pedal presses. Both problems raise the risk of a collision. The same owner had earlier been told the active noise cancellation was disabled as a temporary fix while engineering reviewed an engine noise.

2 complaints total
WHEELS (2 complaints)

WHEELS

2 complaints

Clunking from a front wheel turned out to be a loose wheel close to coming off, found at about 4650 miles on a car never serviced elsewhere, with a wheel lock lug nut missing on the other side. A loose wheel risks loss of control. Separately, the car shakes and sways at higher speeds. The dealer confirmed a fault in that case, but the manufacturer blamed local road conditions and the problem continues.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE (1 complaints)

I 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. Having this turn back on automatically is a safety hazard in my opinion.

very heavy vibration. Entire vehicle shaking. I thought it was the motor mounts. Very intermitent. Kicks in at 2,000 rpm. I went to dealership and found out the problem is active noise reduction has a problem with a defect on amplifier. Dealer couldn't fix the problem so they shut off the active noise cancellation function for now.

Does the 2025 Infiniti QX60 have engine stalling problems?
Some owners say so. One reported the engine dying and the car coming to a full stop on the highway. Another had a sudden shutdown at highway speed, and the car needed a tow and a new fuel pump at 12,287 miles. These reports are few but risky in traffic.
Has the 2025 Infiniti QX60 been recalled?
Yes. Federal recall records show one recall for this model year, in the area of hydraulic service brakes. Ask the seller for proof the recall work was completed. Owner complaints also mention brake trouble, including rear pads worn to 1mm or 2mm before 22,000 miles.
