Car Defect Radar
Built from NHTSA complaints and recalls collected for this model, generated September 22, 2026. Totals reflect what has been collected, not every complaint ever filed.

Recalls

0 total

Safety issues the manufacturer must repair for free. A recall means confirm the fix was done, not walk away.

No recalls on record for this model

No safety recalls were found in this dataset. It is still worth entering the exact VIN on NHTSA before purchase, since recalls can be added at any time.

Malfunction: see owners manual with forward collision icon popped up. Only went away when we turned the vehicle off. Tried wiping off sensors to see if it was a sensor issue. Continued to happen. When we arrived back to [XXX] I was driving on XXX. Error message came on with a loud beep, vehicle shut off on me while I was driving (screens went black, a/c cut off, idle message flashed across screen and the vehicle stalled out. Engine came back on by itself. I was driving in my neighborhood leaving my home address. Took it to the Infiniti dealership. They couldn’t replicate it and could see the codes thrown. XXX picking my kids up from school sitting at a stop light and the vehicle beeped again when the light turned green and I started to go, idle message flashed, all screens black, a/c cut off, malfunction message came on, engine turned itself back on when the vehicle turned back on. Was told ADAS was reconfigured + software update and sent off again. XXX in the middle of an intersection loud beep, idle message, all screens black, AC cut off, malfunction message on screen again when the vehicle turned itself on again by itself.

many times when I am using pro pilot assist it does not brake to point when it is inches of crashing into car in front, I manually have to apply brakes. in addition while being in full automatic mode (hands free mode) it turns off lane keeping assist completely where if the driver was not Able to make split second decisions it would collide with vehicle near it. there is no warning for pro pilot assist mode to be driven below or above a certain speed, Infiniti dealer advised it should not be used for bumper to bumper traffic or within city. but when even using it on highway it sticks to one side of lane and still requires hands on all times but Infiniti advertises it to drivers it is a "safe hand free option" with no warnings. just a awful accident awaiting to happen.

On numerous occasions the pro pilot feature has malfunctioned and aggressively jerked the vehicle to the left causing us to almost hit the concrete wall divider. The cruise control turns off and on numerous times when trying to change lanes. It drives dangerously close to semis when passing on the left, almost crossing into the right lane. I've taken the vehicle to the infiniti dealership and they tell me they can't duplicate it but don't do anything about it. I had my husband drive it as well and it does the same thing to him.

While driving at normal speed, I suddenly heard a very loud explosion-like “boom” coming from the roof of the vehicle. I immediately pulled over and discovered that the panoramic roof glass had shattered, leaving a large opening/hole in the glass. There was no impact from any object, no debris strike, and no visible impact point or damage consistent with road debris. Nothing hit the vehicle before or during the incident. The failure occurred suddenly and without warning, creating a serious safety concern. Shattered glass could have entered the passenger compartment and startled the driver, potentially causing loss of control. Based on the nature of the failure (loud explosive sound, sudden collapse, no impact evidence), this appears to be a spontaneous glass failure / manufacturing defect of the panoramic roof. This incident raises concerns about the safety and structural integrity of panoramic roof glass on this vehicle model.

I am submitting a safety complaint regarding the driver assistance system (ProPILOT Assist) in my 2024 Infiniti QX80. The behavior of this system creates a potentially dangerous driving condition. When ProPILOT Assist is engaged, the vehicle consistently delays braking until the last possible moment, then applies sudden and aggressive braking rather than smooth deceleration. This creates a high risk of rear-end collisions, especially in moderate to heavy traffic where gradual speed adjustments are expected. In addition, the lane-keeping function appears unstable. The vehicle tends to drift or “hug” one side of the lane instead of maintaining a centered position. At highway speeds, the system makes abrupt and overly aggressive steering corrections, even when the vehicle is already within lane boundaries and at a safe following distance. These sudden inputs feel unnatural and reduce driver confidence, requiring constant manual correction. Overall, the system behavior is unpredictable and does not align with reasonable expectations for a driver assistance feature. Instead of enhancing safety, it introduces unnecessary risk by combining delayed braking with aggressive steering inputs. This issue occurs under normal driving conditions on clearly marked roads and does not appear to be an isolated event. Given the size and weight of the QX80, these system responses could lead to serious accidents if not addressed. I request that this issue be investigated, as it presents a significant safety concern for drivers and others on the road.

Is 6 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2025 and 2026, roughly 6 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.
