NHTSA lists 1 safety recall and 5 owner complaints for the 2024 Infiniti QX50. Most complaints involve electrical system (2) and forward collision avoidance (2). The EPA rates it 25–26 mpg combined, and NHTSA gives it 5 stars overall.
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2024 Titan, Frontier, Infiniti QX60, Pathfinder, 2023-2024 Sentra, Versa, Kicks, Infiniti QX50, and 2023 Rogue vehicles. Due to a manufacturing issue, the driver's air bag inflator may absorb moisture, and cause the air bag to deploy improperly.
Complaints are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and are not normalized for sales volume. One complaint can cite several components.
“Vehicle screens repeatedly rebooting over a 2 month period. Auto high beams stopped working. Chassis control error on dash occurred. Smoke smell in cabin occurred after dealer returned the vehicle from a repair attempt. Vehicle had to be towed back up . Dealer reporting they can not recreate errors and want to return it. It’s a safety hazard . Has been at the mechanics for over 20 business days. Dealer being unprofessional and swearing at the customer. Vehicle reported crash detection to emergency services in its own when sitting in a fast food drive through.”
“The system falsely beeps and displays collision alerts even when no vehicles or objects are present. The system has also initiated braking on the highway with no obstacle present, which is a major safety concern for me and for other drivers. Conversely, when an actual vehicle approached too closely, the system failed to alert or respond at all.”
“The contact owns a 2024 Infiniti QX50. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, the sunroof unexpectedly exploded. The contact was able to drive the vehicle back safely to the residence. The dealer was contacted and stated that the failure might have been caused by an impact from a foreign object. The manufacturer was contacted by phone and made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 24,600.”
Towing, payload and dimensions aren’t in the EPA or NHTSA data, so we don’t list them.
