Is 139 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2018 and 2026, roughly 17 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2019 has 139 complaints on file, more than the 2017 (13) and more than the 2020 (32). That is the most of the 6 model years of the Infiniti QX50 we cover. Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
