Deaths

A complaint is an unverified account by the person who filed it, not a finding of fault. One complaint is one ODI number, which is how NHTSA counts them.

A recall is the manufacturer conceding a defect, and the repair is free. Whether one covers your particular car is a question only its VIN can answer, because a campaign covers a production range rather than a model year.

Red marks a system with a recall campaign against it. One complaint can name several systems, so these add up to more than 8.

When the complaints arrived

By the year NHTSA received them

By the year NHTSA received them, which is not the year the failures happened. They peaked in 2026 at 4.

8 6 4 2

This is the year the complaint was filed, not the year the failure happened. The range runs from 2024 to 2026, the last of them a part year, which is why its column is drawn faint.

Crash test ratings

NHTSA New Car Assessment Program

NHTSA has not crash tested the 2025 Infiniti QX80. Its New Car Assessment Program tests a selection of each year's vehicles and does not reach motorcycles, heavy trucks, motorhomes or most low-volume models, so an absence here says nothing about how the vehicle would perform. It is not a low score.

What owners have reported about this vehicle is below, and it is a different question: a crash test measures what happens to the people inside in a controlled impact, while a complaint records what broke during ordinary use.

The defect
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2020-2026 Nissan Armada, 2011-2013 Infiniti QX56, and 2014-2027 QX80 vehicles equipped with 22" wheels. The Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) listed on the certification label is incorrect, which can allow the vehicle to be overloaded. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
The risk
An overloaded vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Dealers will install new labels, free of charge. Additionally, Nissan will mail replacement labels to owners. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk are expected to be mailed August 21, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's numbers for this recall are R26B1 and P6A13/4.

BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE

25V821000 · November 26, 2025

The defect
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2025 Murano, 2025-2026 Armada, and Infiniti QX80 vehicles. A software error may occur in the In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system at vehicle startup, resulting in the rearview camera image not displaying when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
The risk
A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
The IVI system software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 2, 2026. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 800-647-7261 or Infiniti's customer service at 1-800-662-6200. Nissan's numbers for this recall are R25D6, R25D5, and R25D7.

In owners’ own words

Quoted from the complaint file

Quoted from NHTSA's complaint file. These are unverified accounts by the people who filed them, not findings of fault.

AIR BAGS

crash · towed

A lady driving a Honda Fit pulled out in front of my wife while she was driving her Infinity QX80. My wife was driving about 40-45 MPH at the time of the crash. The driver at fault in the Honda Fit I noticed all air bags deployed. My wife's QX80 had none of the air bags deployed. The officers at the scene were shocked to see the amount of damage to my wife's QX80 while not triggering the air bags to be deployed. One in particular told us to make sure we reported this to the insurance company.

WHEELS
I experienced severe wheel instability on 3/29/2026 at around 630pm on I74 West while traveling on the highway at high speed. I was forced to perform emergency maneuvers to avoid a catastrophic collision, resulted in a terrifying near-miss incident that required an emergency tow to safety. Upon inspection, it was confirmed that the lug nuts on the left rear wheel were not properly torqued and were dangerously loose as outlined by the tow report below :-----Please see the following service report regarding PO 3166 for a 2025 Infiniti QX80. When we arrived on scene, the customer stated that the vehicle made a sudden jerk and veered unexpectedly while being driven. Before touching or loading

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Two components have failed: the infotainment/Apple CarPlay system, including the USB-C connectivity port, and the front collision detection/crash sensor system. The entire A/V unit was replaced on August 1, 2025, yet the infotainment defect persisted. Both systems are currently installed in my vehicle and are available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The front collision detection system malfunction directly compromises my ability to rely on the vehicle's built-in safety features to prevent or mitigate crashes. Additionally, the infotainment

SEAT BELTS

3,000 miles

The contact owns a 2025 Infiniti QX80. The contact stated that the middle seat belt receiver failed to function as intended. Upon inspection, the contact became aware that when the third-row seat was folded under, the seat belt receiver was crushed. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was confirmed that the seat belt receiver was damaged by the third-row seat. The vehicle remained at the dealer pending the repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.

NHTSA complaint 11720942. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

STRUCTURE:BODY
While driving my Infiniti QX80, 2025 model, the driver's side mirror is constantly shaking and vibrating, especially on uneven roads or at speeds over 40–50 mph. The vibration blurs the mirror, making it impossible to see clearly and posing a safety risk. I brought this to the dealer, but they could not resolve the issue. They replaced the mirror, yet it did not help and actually made the vibration worse. Now they claim this is "normal" and that nothing can be done. However, the vibration is constant and unacceptable for safe driving. I request further investigation and resolution.

NHTSA complaint 11718472. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Camera monitoring system or rear visibility system. The rearview/backup camera has intermittently malfunctioned in my QX80 numerous times since I purchased the car in February 2024, including (1) displaying a frozen image from the backup camera when putting the car in reverse which stayed frozen (for example, did show a car driving directly behind me which I almost hit) and displayed the frozen image to the driver the entire time driving the car, including at highway speeds, and which could not be manually removed from view (including by pressing the camera button); and (2) the backup camera not turning on at all when the QX80 is put in reverse, not could the backup camera be turned on

Every Infiniti on this site — 52 vehicles.

If this is your car and a dealer keeps failing to fix it, your state's lemon law may require the manufacturer to replace it or buy it back. How many repair attempts it takes, and how long you have to file, is set by the state you bought in and by nothing on this page.

Where these numbers come from

A complaint is one owner's account and has not been verified by NHTSA or by us. A vehicle with more complaints is not necessarily worse: models that sold in larger numbers collect more of them. How this is counted.
