Which Infiniti QX60 years should you avoid?
No Infiniti QX60 model year stands out from the others in NHTSA owner complaints. The typical Infiniti QX60 year has 29 complaints on file. The busiest years are the 2014 (199), 2015 (92) and 2017 (68).
What are the best Infiniti QX60 years?
The Infiniti QX60 years with the fewest complaints on file are the 2022 (22), 2020 (24) and 2023 (27). Model years after 2023 are left out: they have not been on the road long enough to compare.
NHTSA does not publish sales figures, so these are complaint counts, not a rate per car on the road. A year that sold more cars collects more complaints, and older years have had longer to collect them.
