2025 INFINITI QX60

Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

The defect: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2025 Murano, Pathfinder, and INFINITI QX60 vehicles. One or both front brake caliper assemblies may have reduced strength and could break. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."
The risk: A broken front brake caliper can cause a loss of front brake function, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy: Dealers will inspect and replace the front brake caliper assemblies as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 9, 2025. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 800-647-7261 or INFINITI's customer service at 1-800-662-6200. Nissan's numbers for this recall are PD137 and PD138.

On March 30, 2026, INFINITI of Naperville performed a multi-point inspection (RO 114984) on my 2025 Infiniti QX60 at 10,507 miles and measured both rear brake pads at 6mm. On October 13, 2026, at 15,467 miles, the same dealership measured both rear brake pads at 3mm — 3mm of wear in approximately 4,960 miles, evenly on both sides. This wear rate is far faster than normal and will require rear pad replacement far sooner than the normal 30,000–50,000 mile service life. When I asked the dealership what would cause both rear pads to wear at this rate, they stated it was normal wear and declined to provide any explanation or diagnosis. I declined their $415 rear pad replacement and rotor resurfacing quote pending a root-cause diagnosis. Premature rear brake pad wear reduces rear braking capacity and, if pads wear to the backing plate, can increase stopping distance. This appears to be a pattern: NHTSA complaints ODI 11704103, 11727670, 11752870, 11725766, and 11740699 document the same premature rear brake wear on 2022–2025 QX60s, and a class action (Iwan v. Nissan North America, M.D. Tenn.) alleges the same defect on the platform-sharing Nissan Pathfinder. No crash, fire, injury, or warning lamp occurred

While driving my vehicle, it suddenly accelerated without my foot on the accelerator. The RPMs increased significantly, and the vehicle went to full throttle, accelerating rapidly without any input from me. I immediately attempted to stop the vehicle by pressing the brakes, but the vehicle continued accelerating. I also attempted to shift the vehicle into Park and Neutral, but it would not shift into either position. I was forced to turn off the engine while the vehicle was still moving in order to stop the incident. After the vehicle stopped, the steering wheel and brakes locked up. This was a frightening and extremely dangerous situation that could have resulted in a serious accident or injury. I reported this incident and expected the dealership to conduct a thorough investigation to determine what caused the vehicle to accelerate unexpectedly. It is a serious safety issue involving a vehicle that accelerated at full throttle without driver input. I have also having issued with the electrical with the screen flashing on and off the car stating the key is not detected when its in my hand.

Driver assistance
Filed Oct 9, 2026

The turbo does not kick in and caused the vehicle to not accelerate as needed when initially pulling out in traffic. Infiniti has a software update but they are charging owners to do it stating it is not a safety update but a performance update. This delay in shifting almost cause my vehicle to be hit because the car would not shift out of first gear. This also is not considered a warranty item to them.

Crash reported2 injuries reported

On XXX, at approximately 7:30–7:50 a.m., the driver was traveling northbound on the [XXX] in [XXX] during heavy rain. While the vehicle was moving, it unexpectedly began steering or correcting its direction without the driver intending it to do so. At approximately the same time, the vehicle lost acceleration and the brakes did not respond normally. The driver attempted to stabilize and regain control of the vehicle, but the vehicle continued losing speed and could not be controlled normally. This created an immediate risk of being struck from behind while traveling in the express lanes. The vehicle ultimately collided with the express-lane concrete barrier. No other vehicle was involved. The airbags did not deploy. Police responded to the crash and a police report was created. Medical evaluation was obtained at an emergency room following the incident because of pain after the collision. The vehicle was towed to a collision repair center and remains available for inspection. The insurance company has inspected the collision damage and prepared a repair estimate. The incident was reported to the manufacturer’s Consumer Affairs department. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle’s behavior was “expected” or normal and stated that the airbags may not have deployed because the impact did not meet the required threshold. However, the manufacturer has not provided a complete technical inspection report explaining the unexpected steering intervention, loss of acceleration, and abnormal braking response that occurred before the collision. The driver does not recall receiving a warning that adequately explained these problems before the vehicle became difficult to control. The exact component or electronic system responsible is currently unknown. I am requesting that NHTSA review the steering, braking, speed-control, driver-assistance, and electronic systems as a potential safety defect.

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.
