2017 Infiniti Qx60 problems
The Infiniti QX60, called the Infiniti JX until the 2014 model year, is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV with three-row seating produced by Infiniti, the luxury vehicle division of Japanese automaker Nissan. It is underpinned by an elongated Nissan Murano platform also used by the Nissan Pathfinder.
In keeping with Infiniti's naming scheme for 2014, in which cars begin with Q and SUVs begin with QX, the JX was renamed to QX60. While the number previously denoted engine displacement (for example, 35=3.5L engine), the new number, 60, is largely to do with its place in the product lineup, with larger numbers usually corresponding to more expensive vehicles.
First generation (L50; 2013)
The Infiniti JX35 was announced in April 2012 in the United States as a 2013 model. A concept version had been debuted at the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance event, while the production model was unveiled at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show. For 2014, the car was renamed the QX60.
The QX60 was the first three-row crossover to be released by Infiniti. Design work was done through 2009, by Naoyuki Ohkoshi under Shiro Nakamura. In 2012 Nissan announced that the Pathfinder would also have the same platform as the QX60 for the 2013 model year.
The QX60 had previously been under consideration for the Australian market, but the numbers for right-hand-drive re-engineering and local homologation failed to add up and get approved by Australian authorities unlike its Nissan Pathfinder sibling. This results that the QX60 would not be available in RHD markets as it would only be available exclusively in LHD markets.

ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-04-01
- VIN: 5N1DL0MM7HC
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: Vehicle began ticking in early 2023. Then received check engine light and trouble codes P0014 and P0017. Took to Infiniti dealership. Dealership claimed "sludge - you did not change oil regularly, " which I did - either at Valvoline, Wal-Mart, or by myself. Multiple online forums about Infiniti QX60 indicate all the dealership mechanics are saying the SAME thing to customers who are having this issue. Dealership claimed vehicle would need NEW engine priced at over $17,000!! They are doing this nationwide and globally. Infiniti KNOWS there is an engine defect leading to sludge and failed engine. My engine did fail in April 2024, but thankfully in my home driveway and not at high speeds - this would have been deadly had it happened on a major highway!

STRUCTURE,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-03-15
- VIN: 5N1DL0MM2HC
- Components: STRUCTURE,ENGINE
- Summary: The vehicle needs a completely new engine and I had made it known that I want to trade in the vehicle the very next day but was told that I need to wait until 30 days has past. I have reached out to the Loan institution and have documentation provided below of that INFINITI database in November of 2023 that this same vehicle needed a new engine. Both my children were hospitalized for breathing in these toxic vapors that were released from the tailpipe of the vehicle to which HGREG said they resolved and did not, as soon as vehicle started up the whole dealership came outside thinking someone's vehicle was on fire. Both my children are age 2 1/2 and 11 months old. Both were on breathing treatments due to the level of carbon monoxide released in vehicle while driving.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM

AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-05-07
- VIN: 5N1DL0MM3HC
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: The passenger airbag warning light on my 2017 QX60 AWD began flashing non-stop, indicating that the airbag was not working properly. After bringing it to the Infiniti dealer, the stated that the ODB code B00A0 was showing up, which is for the Occupant Classification System (OCS) for the passenger airbag. In order to fix this, they need to replace both OCS seat sensors, as well as the OCS module, at a cost of $1,600. Until this repair is made, the passenger airbag will not work in a collision. This is the same issue that has plagued various Infiniti models in prior years, including the QX60 (2014-16) which were included in a recall (NHTSA# 16V-244). It is obvious that the issue also exists in the 2017 models, and the recall should be expanded to include this year as well.
POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-04-04
- VIN: 5N1DL0MM0HC
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: Dear Infiniti Consumer Affairs, I am writing to express my concern about the recent transmission failure in my vehicle. This is the second time I have experienced a transmission failure in less than a year. The first transmission failure occurred on around May of 2023. The symptoms were as follows: The transmission gave out while on the highway, causing the vehicle to not start or drive. The transmission would not shift gears at 4000 RPMs unless I let off the gas and then gave it gas again. I took my vehicle to the dealership on sometime in May 2024, and they replaced the transmission after they tried to do a valve body that was recommended by the warranty department. Later, I was told that the failure was caused by a Faulty Transmission and was on recall notice. The second transmission failure occurred on 4/5/2024. The symptoms were as follows: The transmission would not shift gears at 4000 RPMs unless I let off the gas and then gave it gas again. The transmission would sometimes slip out of gear while driving. The transmission would make a grinding noise when shifting gears. My wife is taking the vehicle to the dealership on 04/08/2024, and they are currently diagnosing the problem. I am concerned that this is a recurring issue with my vehicle, and I am worried that it will continue to happen. I am also concerned about the safety of my vehicle, the safety of myself my wife and my kids as a transmission failure could cause both her and I to lose control while driving. I am requesting that you investigate this matter and take the necessary steps to resolve the issue. I would like to know what caused the transmission to fail, and I would like to know what steps can be taken to prevent it from happening again. I am also requesting that you provide me with a loaner vehicle while my vehicle is being repaired. my wife needs a vehicle for work, and she cannot afford to be without it. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. If you need to reach
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-07-20
- VIN: 5N1DL0MM4HC
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE
- Summary: My vehilce only has 31000 miles on it and the cooling fan went out, was not due to anything that I did driving wise. When I called Infiniti Warranty Divison in Franklin Tennessee they said they are aware of the complaints by other customers they said they issued a technical bullentin ITB17-048 but said there was no reason for a recall but they deemed it necassry to make a design change which fixed this problem and also required a module change also. They said they are not responsible for the problem, but if that is true then why did they make the design change. So any owners with old design will have an issue and will have to replace the unit. So I am glad that I was not on the road driving and would have been stuck in the heat trying to get the car repaired. There was no warnings about the issues and even though they may the dealers aware of the issue no notice was sent owners. Please review the number of complaints that were made online about this issue. Feel like they just took advantage of me because this was not a problem I created but was due to poor design. Also the cooling fans are no longer made of metal but of plastic, what is life expectancy of this part.
POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-07-02
- VIN: 5N1DL0MN5HC
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: Driving West on I8 from AZ into San Diego my vehicle would lose all ability to accelerate and start decelerating on the upward climbs of the Crestwood Summit highway pass through the Cuyamaca Mountains. Not only it would continue to lose complete driving power and we had to pull over many time to turn the car off and let it sit for 10 minutes. It was not over heated and no lights were on with any indication of failure. During decents and on plateaus it resumed its completely normal functioning. I immediately brought it in to Oceanside CA Infiniti where they told me they don’t know what it wrong so they can’t fix it and I have to basically drive back to AZ through the mountains again and break down (it’s 115 degrees and almost 1.5 hours in both directions to any town) to figure out what was wrong. It’s incredibly dangerous and clearly not safe

- Summary: We bought the car used at about 24,000 miles. No engine lights were on. After about a month of owning it smoke would come from the exhaust when started. Took it in to be look at and was told it was a fuel injector and it was replaced. No more issues for about 6 months when it suddenly lost power on the interstate at dawn barley made it to the side of the road without getting ran over. Had to have it towed to a shop where I was told it was a bad coil and they replaced it. Went to pick the car up and less than a mile down the road it lost power again. Took it down for Infiniti to look at it. They said it had previously had engine sludge and that the warranty was voided because of it.

- Summary: I bought my QX60 2017 in April of 2021. fine til wk 2 experienced electrical issues liftgate stops going up or down randomly, hesitation in the acceleration when pulling into traffic (quite scary when you almost get rammed). concerns told to dealership stated I needed to change key fob battery. I already had and it was fine. They insisted I cchangeit so I did.. Not the issue. So I made an appt to have concerns checked.. ie transmission hesitation and electrical . I brought it in got a loaner. Many days later it was ready and I could pick it up they could find no issues they fixed nothing but the groan in the gas tank that's it. They said they couldn't duplicate it. So I reiterated to them to make sure that they understood that it was done at random and it's still being done at random months later. So I brought the car home and I've just been dealing with it not knowing what else to do cuz if they don't take the car and actually drive it like it's their own they probably won't experience it just driving around the parking lot. And even though they had it a week and could have done that I guess they didn't. Well then back in the end of August beginning of September my car wouldn't start I had to put the key fob next to the button in order to start it which I didn't figure out till later lots of electrical things were happening at that point added to what I already had so I brought it to them and they said it was the battery it was under warranty so they changed and explain that that should take care of all of my issues and if not bring it back in. So I've made another appointment for today and I'm bringing it back in because the hesitation is still there there's more electrical issues there's always been a Bluetooth electrical issue there's now rear camera, volume sometimes work sometimes blows your ears out, vibration in engine compartment, unlock door open door it sounds unlocking again repeatedly repeatedly and liftgate still

Negative 2017 Infiniti Qx60 car reviews
Positive 2017 Infiniti Qx60 car reviews
-
My wife's 2017 QX60 AWD has 87K miles on it. We experienced a recall on the radiator coming loose from the engine block, but the dealer fixed it at no cost when it happened to us at 23k miles. We also had some trouble with the collision detection sensors after an SUV backed into us in a parking lot, but the dealership was able to fix it after several trips. Overall, we've had a positive experience with this SUV. The eco mode is a little too sluggish for my liking, but the CVT is top-notch and the Pirelli-Scorpion Verde tires provide excellent handling, response, braking, and acceleration. It's important to remember to change shocks and struts around 70K to avoid powertrain issues. While the third-row seats may not be ideal for taller people, it's not a major issue unless you regularly carpool with over four people. In terms of value, the QX60 is one of the best options on the market with its capability, technology, MPG, and space. With regular maintenance, I expect to get over 200k miles on our QX60. It's a luxurious and peppy ride with respectable MPG, great tech, and space, and is an underrated SUV worth taking seriously.
-
Other than being old school infotainment and a little low on performance, this is an awesome SUV. I would highly recommend it as a family SUV.
-
Overall, you have a really nice car and it's a great value for the price!
-
The QX60 lets you sit high and have a great view. It's a powerful vehicle with plenty of oomph, and it also offers exceptional comfort and safety features. Overall, it's a real winner!
-
I completely agree with you! The acceleration is great and the transmission is smooth. It's unfortunate that there are some negative opinions out there, but I can confidently say that this car beats the competition in terms of value and comfort. I haven't experienced any reliability issues or recalls, and I'm very satisfied with the Infinity customer service and dealership experience. When my lease is up, I'll definitely be leasing another one. While the infotainment system could use an update, it's still very reliable and I've never had any issues. Overall, I prefer the comfort of this vehicle over other manufacturers.

Are you having problems with your 2017 Infiniti Qx60?
Juston Mills 2024-10-16
Hi there! I recently noticed some rust buildup throughout the frame of my 2017 QX60 and reached out to the dealership in Bayside Queens for some advice. Although their customer service rep initially told me not to worry and that it's normal to have that amount of rust on the frame, I couldn't help but feel concerned. I've owned an Audi Q5 from 2010 and lived by the water, but never experienced any rust issues. I'm starting to think that Infiniti vehicles might have a major problem with this. Perhaps it's time to consider other options.

The car was impressive at first, but unfortunately became quite boring to drive. It didn't provide the thrill that I was hoping for. I'm not sure if I would choose it again.

Hey there! I wanted to share my experience with my car. I've driven it for 15k miles, but I've been having some issues and dealing with dealerships has been a bit of a hassle. Honestly, right after buying the car, I realized that it wasn't quite as luxurious as other cars in its class, like Lexus or Mercedes. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up!

Hi there! We bought this certified used vehicle from a dealership in 2021 with 65k on the dash. We've been really careful with the oil changes, always using fully synthetic oil from the dealership. However, at around 100k, about a year and a half later, we noticed that the engine was burning oil at a rate of about a quarter quart per month. Unfortunately, it wasn't covered under warranty and the dealership couldn't do anything about it. We were a bit surprised to have this kind of trouble so early on with a 'luxury' vehicle.

The middle seat in the 2nd row is extremely uncomfortable and caused me significant pain. The hardness of the seat was so severe that I required surgery. It is imperative that this issue is addressed to prevent further discomfort and potential health problems for passengers.
