50Infiniti year and model combinations have enough on file to be worth a page here, and between them their owners have filed 2,426 safety complaints with NHTSA. More of those name the power train than any other system: 451 of them. The single most complained-about is the 2013 JX35, with 280.
NHTSA holds 106 recall campaigns naming Infiniti vehicles, across every model year the agency records rather than only the ones shown here. 1 defect investigation into these vehicles is open and unresolved. A death has been reported in 1 of these 50 vehicles.
Most complained-about Infiniti models
Complaints for every published model year of each model added together. A model that sold in larger numbers collects more complaints, and nothing here divides by sales because NHTSA does not publish them.
What goes wrong on a Infiniti
The systems named most often across every Infiniti complaint on file. One complaint can name more than one system, so these add up to more than the complaint total. "Unknown or other" is excluded: it is what the intake form records when an owner cannot place the failure.
