NHTSA complaints for the 2025 Infiniti QX60, grouped by the part owners named. Open a row to read what goes wrong.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Filed with NHTSA, June 2026
Pulling onto 55mph road from a stop, the car began to accelerate then lagged(felt like a pause/stall in acceleration) and then overcompensated with rapid acceleration. This has happened multiple times. The vehicle has also gotten stuck in a low gear when accelerating in auto mode. Took the car to the dealership expressing safety concern of unreliable acceleration and they couldn’t replicate the issue.
