2016 Infiniti QX60 Complaints

I am reporting a serious safety concern with my 2016 Infiniti QX60 involving a defective cooling fan system. The vehicle currently experiences a ticking/tapping noise from the cooling fan, and the fan does not operate properly, which has caused the engine to overheat. This condition creates a significant safety hazard, as engine overheating can lead to sudden engine failure while driving, increasing the risk of an accident. The issue also makes it unsafe to use essential features such as the air conditioner in hot weather and the defroster in cold conditions, which impacts visibility and driver safety. This defect appears to be part of a known issue affecting this vehicle platform, where the cooling fan system fails prematurely. I understand there have been allegations, including in Anderson v. Nissan North America, that the manufacturer may have been aware of this defect but did not adequately disclose it. In addition, I am aware that this vehicle model has been associated with other...

Component: Air Bags / Occupant Classification System (OCS) Problem Description: The Occupant Classification System (OCS) in my 2016 Infiniti QX60 is malfunctioning. The passenger airbag indicator light flickers on and off even when the passenger seat is empty. When an adult passenger is seated properly with the seatbelt fastened, the system frequently fails to detect the occupant and does not consistently indicate that the passenger airbag is active. The issue occurs intermittently and unpredictably, both while driving and shortly after vehicle startup. Dealer Repair Attempts: I have brought the vehicle to the Infiniti dealership multiple times for this issue. Each visit resulted in a paid service where the dealership “reset” the OCS module and stated the issue was resolved. However, the malfunction returned immediately. On one occasion, the issue reoccurred as soon as I pulled out of the dealership parking lot, at which point I returned the vehicle to service. After that visit, I...

The electric controlled coupling failed and as a result, the AWD failed. There is vibration when turning and driving 25 mph. The grinding noise remained after I got new brakes and I was told it’s from the coupling trying to power the AWD. I took my 2016 QX60 to the dealer and also to a foreign car auto shop and they both confirmed it needs to be replaced. When the coupling is unplugged, the noise is not present.

The contact owns a 2016 Infiniti QX60. The contact stated that while making a left turn at a low rate of speed, another vehicle attempted to drive around the contact's vehicle. As the vehicle attempted to drive around, the contact was hit by the passing vehicle. The contact stated that they could not recall the immediate events after the accident; however, they did note the side air bags did deploy while drive side air bag did not deploy. A police report was filed at the scene; however, the police report was not available due to an ongoing investigation. The contact, the contact's mother, and the contact's son and daughter were all taken to the hospital for a check-up; the contact suffered emotional distress due to the accident but no physical injuries were reported. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it remained in the mechanic's possession. The dealer was notified of the failure and was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. Upon investigation, the c...

2016 Infiniti QX60 93,000 miles The battery light was on. I have noticed that my CVT transmission goes into limp mode. This has happened several times with no help from infiniti. I can only go 10MPH and it revs only 1000 RPM, then it'll be fine after I turn off and on again. Had battery and alternator checked and they're 100% good. This is very dangerous when it happenes in traffic and infiniti won't do anything.
