2017 Infiniti Qx30 problems
The Infiniti QX30 is a subcompact luxury crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by Nissan's Infiniti luxury brand. It is heavily based on the Q30 hatchback with modifications mainly in its ride height in order for it to be marketed as a crossover. Both the Q30 and the QX30 are based on the first-generation Mercedes-Benz GLA and the third-generation Mercedes-Benz A-Class. The QX30 was manufactured from 2016 to mid-2019, at the same time the brand withdrew from Europe altogether.
Concept model
The QX30 Concept featured 21-inch wheels, large tires, and increased blackout around the wheel opening, with a satin chrome front bumper. It was introduced at the 2015 Geneva International Motor Show, followed by the 2015 New York International Auto Show.
Production model
Based on the Infiniti Q30, the QX30 includes redesigned front and rear bumpers, grained side sills, as well as bodywork finished with satin chrome plated inserts with metallic finish along with an increased ride height. The QX30 was unveiled at the 2015 Los Angeles Motor Show and the 2015 Auto Guangzhou, followed by the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.
US and Canada models went on sale in the middle of 2016 as model year 2017 vehicles, with a 2.0 litre turbocharged four cylinder engine with 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, followed by Mexico and Latin America in the second half of 2016.
European models went on sale in the summer of 2016. Early models included 2.2d AWD with 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Common 2017 Infiniti Qx30 problems
The 2017 Infiniti QX30 has been reported to have several common problems, primarily related to electrical issues and visibility.
Electrical issues are a significant concern for QX30 owners. These problems include failure of the navigation screen while driving, headlamp problems that require a week in the shop, and recalls related to the steering column.
Visibility is another common problem with the 2017 Infiniti QX30. The car's small windows and large pillars result in restricted visibility, which can be a safety concern for drivers.
The QX30's electrical system has also been reported to have issues with the airbag system. The airbag may not deploy correctly due to a faulty compound that triggers the airbag deployment. This issue has led to a recall to replace the affected airbags with new quality-assured components.
The front seat belt anchorage point may also be incorrectly positioned, causing difficulty applying the seatbelt or slowing the retraction speed when moving the belt. This issue has led to a recall to replace the front seat belts.
While the 2017 Infiniti QX30 has received positive reviews for its performance and luxury features, these common problems with the car's electrical system and visibility are significant concerns for owners. It is essential for potential buyers to be aware of these issues and to ensure that any used QX30 they consider purchasing has had any necessary recalls and repairs addressed.

STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-25
- VIN: SJKCH5CR8HA
- Components: STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,AIR BAGS
- Summary: Hello. My vin number is not showing unresolved recalls, but I believe it is based on my experience. I was parking my car, which involved turning my steering wheel all the way to the right, and heard a crunching, clicking sound. I did some teoubleshooting, and believe it is the clock spring giving out. What concerns me is 1 of the 4 recalls in particular. Infiniti recalled the 2017 and 2018 QX30 compact crossover SUV due to a potential for the driver's airbag to deploy unexpectedly. The recall was issued due to a grounding issue with the steering components that could cause an electrostatic charge to build up. If the airbag clock spring broke, the driver's side airbag could deploy accidentally, which could result in a crash or injury to the driver. When I called Sewell Infiniti in Dallas, TX, I was told they had no recalls showing for my 2017 QX30, and to look at it would cost $240. I am currently not in a place financially to be able to afford this, but am concerned for my safety. I bought this car used from Carmax, but have since taken it to Sewell Infiniti for service and repairs. Please advise the best course of action as I am truly scared to drive my car due to this potentially deadly situation.
STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-12-01
- VIN: SJKCH5CP0HA
- Components: STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: While driving vehicle warning message appeared on cluster saying “ABS INOPERABLE” with ABS and traction control lights on. Minutes later all power steering is gone and vehicle is very difficult to steer. This not only put me in danger but also my passengers and others on the road as well. This has happened multiple times. Brought the vehicle to the infinity dealer to be told I needed 2 new batteries. Bought new batteries and is still happening. The owner manual says to rock steering wheel side to side while driving 12mph to reset. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. I have read multiple complaints on different forums for the same issue I am complaining about. Is Infinity waiting for someone to be injured or killed due to this malfunction before they issue a recall and fix this problem? In addition to this electronic issue I have also had other lights appear for “reverse not possible”, maintenance required, as well as others I can not remember at this time. Clearly there is an electrical issue with these vehicles.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-07-30
- VIN: SJKCH5CP2HA
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? I am not entirely sure what specific part of my car is causing this issue, but from the research I have done regarding other people with my make/model of the car, it seems like it is something with the electrical system/auxiliary battery. Yes, it can be examined upon request at this time. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? My car has an ecostart button that is automatically on when you get into the car, and there is no way to turn it off unless you remember to press the button to turn it off manually. My car (and many other people's cars with this make/model) have described the exact same issue when driving. The ecostart is malfunctioning. The engine will shut off at a red light, and when I go to lift my foot off the brake to go again, the car will make a loud popping noise and shut off entirely. A message pops up that says "Do not shift gears. See dealership." I have to physically turn the car on and off again to move, and I only figured this out after having been stuck at a red light in the middle of traffic. It is not safe that this car will completely lose functionality in the middle of traffic. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? I took it to a mechanic that confirmed the check engine light was on for an ecostart code, but they could not figure out why the code was being pulled. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? I only received a message when the car started failing. There were times where the car would make the popping noise, the radio would turn off, and then it would slowly come back on without the entire car shutting off.

STEERING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-11-12
- VIN: SJKCH5CR6HA
- Components: STEERING
- Summary: I have been attempting since July to get the recall repaired. I went there in July after calling and making an appointment but they did not have a loaner car so I left. No one could tell me how long the repair would take. Attempt # 2 called Infiniti of Coconut creek and explained that I was calling to get an appointment to have the recall for my steering repaired and I wanted to make an appointment . He told me to come down. I explained to him what happened last time and I didn't want to make an unnecessary trip and I wanted to make sure it was something they could fix today or that they had a loaner car available for me. I then asked for a supervisor who advised me they had no loaner cars and he was not sure how long the repair would take. He said that he would check with the tech and put me on a list for a loaner car after a 10 minute rant on how they have no loaner cars b/c customers like me don't bring them back. That was 4 months ago never to hear from him again. Attempt # 3 in November called again same run around, sent emails to both Infiniti and Infiniti of coconut creek and heard back from the Service manager same person I spoke to in July (although he denies it. I recognize his voice. He stated that they needed to order the part, that it would take 2 to 4 weeks and once it came in he would call me to schedule the repair. Much like last time no call back. It's now been over 5 weeks and I still have not heard back regarding the repair of my recalled car.

Through and through, you can feel the functionality and precision that Mercedes Benz is known for. The GLA's sleek design makes it the sexier and hotter sibling. Infiniti's own tweaks to the suspension and engine tuning make a significant difference from its Teutonic counterpart. This is definitely a car worth buying and keeping for years to come.

You're looking at the best-looking SUV on the market today!

It is a great svu!!! I wanted sporty, got it!

I've owned my QX30 for over 4 years now and I have enjoyed every moment of driving it. Infiniti has always been ahead of their time on style and options. The car is sleek, fast, good on gas mileage, and has just enough room inside. It wraps around me like a comfy sweater. The all-wheel drive handles great in any weather and the height is perfect for getting in and out. You don't sit too low or too high. Everything is within reach, even the hidden compartment below the passenger seat where I keep my sunglasses. The car has 4 cupholders in front and 4 in the back. The large screen on the dash controls everything, but it still has an actual knob for volume control, which I greatly appreciate (also has controls on the steering wheel). My passengers gawk at the gorgeous tan leather interior, which is stunning. The seats are completely customizable, making it perfect for me (5'2

I purchased this hatchback as a replacement for my Lexus sc430 coupe, which had stopped working. However, I must admit that I was initially disappointed with my purchase. The car felt small and I could hear every wind sound as if the window was open. Additionally, the hatchback space was limited, the armrest was tiny, and the glovebox only fit the manual. The car also auto-locks and must be manually unlocked. On the bright side, it does perform well on gas. Although I am not a fan of the non-opening sun view, I have decided to upgrade to a luxury SUV after only 6 months, even though it will result in a financial loss.

It's a visually appealing car, but unfortunately, I've had quite a few issues with it during my 2 1/2 year lease. The coolant sensor is always on, and despite their efforts, the dealership hasn't been able to fix it. Additionally, the front-wheel drive seems to wear out the tires quickly, and I'm about to replace them for the second time. The central CPU system, which cost $10,000, malfunctioned after just 2 years, but thankfully it was covered by the warranty. Lastly, the gas tank access cover is automated, but the switch broke, leaving me unable to close it. While I do love my car, I wouldn't recommend purchasing it based on my experiences.

I purchased this car due to its small, sporty design and the attractive rose gold color. The car's stylish appearance and sport interior trim are impressive. However, since my purchase 2 years ago, I have encountered several issues. These include repetitive problems with the coolant sensor and reservoir, jerking brakes that required repair, and the need to replace the tires once already, with another replacement looming. The air conditioning also functions unreliably. Fortunately, I have an extended warranty, which has saved me thousands of dollars. Despite these issues, I plan to trade the car in for an SUV within the next year.

My mother-in-law visited a friend in the hospital. When they called for service, a gentleman arrived in a car to change the tire, only to discover that the car did not come with a spare. It took four hours for a tow truck to arrive. This is unacceptable! The space where the spare tire should have been was occupied by a large Bose sound system. This issue needs to be addressed immediately to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.

I leased this car for 39 months, and I'm glad that it's coming to an end. While it has some features that I appreciate, overall it has been a frustrating experience. The car tends to lurch when I accelerate, and it requires premium gas which can be expensive. Additionally, there are a lot of gadgets that come with the car, but unfortunately, many of them have sporadic issues and don't work as well as they should. Even the rear camera can be unreliable at times, which can be frustrating when I'm trying to back up. On top of all that, the passenger seat motor went out at only 3000 miles, which was a major inconvenience. It took the dealer 6 days to fix the issue, which was frustrating. During that time, I was given a GX50, which unfortunately was even worse than my own car. Despite all these issues, I have found that the car works best in sport mode, although this does tend to increase the amount of gas it uses. Overall, I'm looking forward to returning the car to the dealer.
