NHTSA Safety & Reliability: Infiniti Qx60 2025

Safety Score:

3.0 / 5.0

The 2025 Infiniti QX60 has one reported recall concerning potential failure of front brake caliper assemblies, which could lead to a loss of braking function and increase crash risk. Consumer complaints highlight several recurring issues including engine vibrations, particularly with the VC-Turbo engine, potential fuel pump failures, premature wear of rear brakes and rotors, issues with the active noise cancellation system causing cabin vibrations, spontaneous door locking with keys inside, sunroof shattering, and concerns about vehicle shaking/swaying at higher speeds. Some owners report that dealerships are attributing these issues to road conditions or are unable to fully resolve them under warranty, leading to dissatisfaction and safety concerns.

Severe Risks & Complaints

  • Potential loss of front brake function due to weak caliper assemblies.
  • Engine vibrations and potential failures related to the VC-Turbo engine.
  • Premature wear of brake components (rear rotors and pads).
  • Vehicle instability (shaking/swaying) at higher speeds.
  • Malfunctioning active noise cancellation system causing cabin vibrations.
  • Risk of being locked out of the vehicle with keys inside.
  • Sudden brake lock-up incidents.
  • Potential for wheels to become loose or detach.

Major Recalls

  • 25V173000: One or both front brake caliper assemblies may have reduced strength and could break, failing to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 135. This could lead to a loss of front brake function.
