NHTSA lists 1 safety recall and 20 owner complaints for the 2025 Infiniti QX60. Most complaints involve service brakes (4) and engine (4). The EPA rates it 24 mpg combined, and NHTSA gives it 5 stars overall.
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2025 Murano, Pathfinder, and INFINITI QX60 vehicles. One or both front brake caliper assemblies may have reduced strength and could break. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."
Complaints are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and are not normalized for sales volume. One complaint can cite several components.
“On March 30, 2026, INFINITI of Naperville performed a multi-point inspection (RO 114984) on my 2025 Infiniti QX60 at 10,507 miles and measured both rear brake pads at 6mm. On October 13, 2026, at 15,467 miles, the same dealership measured both rear brake pads at 3mm — 3mm of wear in approximately 4,960 miles, evenly on both sides. This wear rate is far faster than normal and will require rear pad replacement far sooner than the normal 30,000–50,000 mile service life. When I asked the dealership what would cause both rear pads to wear at this rate, they stated it was normal wear and declined to provide any explanation or diagnosis. I declined their $415 rear pad replacement and rotor resurfacing quote pending a root-cause diagnosis. Premature rear brake pad wear reduces rear braking capacity and, if pads wear to the backing plate, can increase stopping distance. This appears to be a pattern: NHTSA complaints ODI 11704103, 11727670, 11752870, 11725766, and 11740699 document the same premature rear brake wear on 2022–2025 QX60s, and a class action (Iwan v. Nissan North America, M.D. Tenn.) alleges the same defect on the platform-sharing Nissan Pathfinder. No…”
“Vehicle experiences noticeable vibration or rough idle when in Drive at stop, especially after warm-up. The issue persists despite regular maintenance and oil changes. Multiple owners report similar symptoms in 2022–2025 Infiniti QX60 models. The 2025 QX60 uses a new engine that has already been recalled in other Infiniti models due to similar issues. However, there has been no recall or official repair action issued for the 2025 QX60, even though the same engine and symptoms are present. Possible engine mount or idle control defect.”
“While driving my vehicle, it suddenly accelerated without my foot on the accelerator. The RPMs increased significantly, and the vehicle went to full throttle, accelerating rapidly without any input from me. I immediately attempted to stop the vehicle by pressing the brakes, but the vehicle continued accelerating. I also attempted to shift the vehicle into Park and Neutral, but it would not shift into either position. I was forced to turn off the engine while the vehicle was still moving in order to stop the incident. After the vehicle stopped, the steering wheel and brakes locked up. This was a frightening and extremely dangerous situation that could have resulted in a serious accident or injury. I reported this incident and expected the dealership to conduct a thorough investigation to determine what caused the vehicle to accelerate unexpectedly. It is a serious safety issue involving a vehicle that accelerated at full throttle without driver input. I have also having issued with the electrical with the screen flashing on and off the car stating the key is not detected when its in my hand.”
