Electrical system
5 reports
“Multiple times since purchasing the vehicle upon stopping at stop sign, stop light and stopping in traffic my driver seat slides back as if I was turning car off and exiting but I am in drive and it causes me to not be able to reach the brake pedal so I have to quickly put in park. My car is currently at the Infiniti dealership in colma and I had contacted multiple times with no response the Dublin Infiniti location and the concord location.”
Seats
3 reports
“The contact owns a 2026 Infiniti QX60. The contact stated that while approaching a stoplight, the driver's seat unexpectedly shifted backwards without the seat adjustment button pressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The dealer advised the contact to return if the failure reoccurred. The contact stated that the vehicle was scheduled for a second appointment with the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure via email and telephone, and a case was filed. The contact expressed concern that the failure was hazardous because the unexpected seat movement made it difficult to properly reach and operate the brake pedal and accelerator pedal, increasing the risk of a crash. The failure mileage was approximately 12,916.”
Engine
3 reports
“I purchased this car early this year and have had continued electrical and engine problems. I had taken this car to the dealership in a matter of 3 times in one month for the same issue. This car has engine malfunction, resulting laced engine gaskets as well as exhaust system malfunction. Intake manifold removed and replaced and the vehicle continued to have misfire. The vehicle would not go over the speed of 40 mph”
