2025 Infiniti QX80 problems

“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 screen has frozen and reset while the vehicle was in motion. I have also been locked out of my vehicle twice while the engine was running, which created a dangerous situation. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. On July 25, 2025, a technician at Georgetown Infiniti attempted and failed to connect their own phone to the CarPlay system, confirming the defect was in the vehicle and not my personal device.

“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 the vehicle, we took photos and observed that the left rear wheel appeared to be close to coming off the vehicle. Upon further examination, we found that 3 of the 5 lug nuts had broken off completely. The remaining 2 lug nuts were still in place, but were barely holding.I advised the customer that the safest course of action was to jack the vehicle up and tighten the 2 remaining lug nuts as much as possible in order to reduce the risk of the wheel falling off during loading,…”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
