I leased a brand-new 2027 QX60 on 09/25/2026. Shortly after delivery, upon setting up the vehicle's connected smartphone app (MyINFINITI) following my first payment statement, I received an immediate system warning notification stating that the airbags may fail to deploy in a collision. Upon closer inspection of the physical dashboard, my spouse and I discovered that the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) / airbag icon light in the lower right-hand corner of the instrument cluster was active. Crucially, the vehicle's main digital driver displays provided absolutely no text warning, no "Service" prompt, and no clear notification informing the driver that a critical safety system was compromised. The vehicle apparently bypassed a proper Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) by the dealership, as the defect was present at delivery. The service department discovered that the connection in the safety harness was damaged and that the vehicle needed a new safety harness and other components. The vehicle needs to display clear warnings because the average car buyer would not know that the red light was a warning. In the past vehicles had an airbag light to indicate if the airbag was turned on for passengers in the front seat because they could be turned off for younger passengers who could sit in the front seat but could be injured by an airbag. We drive this car for almost three weeks not knowing that we had a faulty safety harness. I found a video that was sent to me from the dealership prior to purchasing the vehicle and noticed the light was on prior to delivery.
