Which Infiniti QX80 years should you avoid?

No Infiniti QX80 model year stands out from the others in NHTSA owner complaints. The typical Infiniti QX80 year has 18 complaints on file.

What are the best Infiniti QX80 years?

The Infiniti QX80 years with the fewest complaints on file are the 2016 (14), 2017 (17) and 2015 (18). 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.
