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.

Wireless phone charging pad overheats phone to the point the phone turns off. Concern for possible fire hazard due to how hot the phone gets. In July 2026 the dealer was advised of issue. Dealer referred me to Infinity Consumer Affairs who said they consulted with their engineers and there is nothing they can do about this known issue.

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.

Description of Issue On the date(s) above, I experienced the following problem with the vehicle: • The vehicle locked its doors spontaneously (or automatically) after I exited the vehicle. • At the time of locking, the key fob (Intelligent Key) was inside the vehicle (or believed to be inside). • The locking happened without pressing the lock button on the key fob, without the interior lock lever being used, and without the doors being manually closed by anybody else. • I did not use the exterior “touch-sensor” or handle-lock (if equipped), or if I did, I was unaware — the lock occurred unexpectedly. • As a result, the doors were locked with keys inside, and it was not possible to reopen the doors using the key fob or interior unlock controls. • I believe this event constitutes a safety hazard / defect because the vehicle’s owner manual states that locking via exterior handle-touch should be disabled when the key is detected inside the vehicle; thus the locking behavior appears to contradict the manufacturer’s design and safety intent. Impact / Consequences Describe any consequences or harm caused by the incident: I was stuck out in the cold weather with my car running and had to wait for my husband to show up to unlock the door. His app was unable to unlock the car remotely. The app kept getting messages that said that unlock failed. Any Other Relevant Information • Approximate time between exit and lock (if known): Unknown (few minutes?) • Whether the vehicle had been left running or turned off: Vehicle was running • Whether child seats or passengers were inside: No one was inside the vehicle • Whether you attempted to unlock using remote / key fob / manual key or via interior unlock controls: Attempted remotely. My phone was in the car. Requested Outcome I request that NHTSA (or the manufacturer / dealer): • Investigate this locking behavior as a potential safety defect. • Inform me (the reporter) of the investigation status.

Purchased a new Infiniti QX60 2025 from dealership, within ~4650 miles and approximately 5 months since date of purchase, even before first ever oil change, still within its break-in period and had never been to a repair shop or modified since purchase, major safety concerns started to occur. 1.The front left wheel clunking noise at low or higher speeds and in straight line or turning, it was found by one of the Infiniti dealership to be loose and about to fall off, also dealership notified me of front right wheel lock lug nut completely missing. 2. I have not driven the car since I'm very concerned for my safety and that of my family, or my passengers, since it could cause tremendous harm or to any other person on the road or damage to property since a wheel coming off of a moving car could be compared to a loose cannon. 3.The problem has been confirmed by one of the Infiniti dealerships, it also has been documented by them. I also have video evidence of the front left wheel making that clunking sound 4. No lamps or messages were present, which makes this major safety issue a much more troubling concern. it only made the clunking sound which alerted me and I was able to hear it, but for example my family member that I had in the car with me didn't notice the sound at first until I pointed it out.

Is 17 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2025 and 2026, roughly 10 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.
