Infiniti QX80 Reliability by YearBest & worst years, problems & recalls — NHTSA data

Sunroof exploded. There is a sunshade which protected passengers. Infiniti dealer and it is my understanding that the Company are aware that it happened. Repairs have been made. Three appeared to be no reason for the sunroof to explode.

New QX80 should be taken off the road. The Infotainment system is the central computer system to the car. Countless times where the system reboots WHILE DRIVING yielding electronics cluster (Speed control, Heads up Display, etc) blacked out. Upon "reboot", the stereo system is blaring loud, without ability to turn down volume, creating a dangerous driving environment. Only resolution, to date, is to press and hold for 10-15 seconds the powerbutton to shutoff. Having to do this while driving is dangerous. Other isntances where the car pneumatic suspension system - connected to said infotainment system - faults and creates the car to go up/down while driving. This is similar to a friend who has the same exact car, who's having the same exact issues. There is no resolution. This car NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD UNTIL INFINITI CAN PROVE STABLE COMPUTER FUNCTIONALITY. IT WILL CREATE ACCIDENTS/DEATH. This has happened numerous times. Photo is from most recent after driving "blind" on the cluster back to our driveway to take a picture.

Sunroof shattered after a loud boom without warning. No preexisting damage prior to this happening. Nothing overhead that lead to damage. Just literally exploded

forward collision light came on for fours hours display blinks on and off press buttons on display or open various apps on smart phone and music stops playing wireless DVD player doesn't come on or work The electronics in the suv is faulty and not perdicable

Sunroof shattered while driving. If I did not have sunroof cover closed, glass would have fallen on me into car and potentially cause distraction leading to crash. An insurance rep will be inspecting vehicle within the next 3-5 days. No prior warnings before glass shattered.

The brakes automatically engage without cause. The problem occurs at both city and highway speeds, from 20-75 mph. It is particularly bad when passing underneath a bridge. The car will abruptly stop. This has been ongoing for monthes. Sometimes, the vehicle will act inappropriately when the brake is applied by the driver. The car will attempt to accelerate. Other times the car will hard brake as if slamming the brakes.

While waiting in a parking lot, I was reviewing the settings available on the lower center display, one of those options was for "Camera." Inside this menu I found and made adjustment for options like brightness, contrast, tint, color, and black level... and while most of those seemed to work well, and I was able to make suitable adjustments to the camera--the tint and color options seemed to have no effect on the image. So, I opted to adjust tint from the default/middle value all the way to the left/lowest value and save the settings. Even then, with that saved, I was able to switch to the camera and could see there was no difference in the image still. I then remained with the vehicle, still parked with the engine idling, waiting another ten minutes or so before preparing to leave. When I put my vehicle in reverse gear, I was shocked to see that the camera displays had gone completely black. I could no longer see the rear images when backing up. I tried going back to park and again to the rear setting--still, there was no image being displayed for the cameras. I could see some items on-screen still, like the button to switch camera views and to toggle the parking sensors on/off. When switching camera views/angles, the system would continue displaying the same two black/empty displays. I tried turning the engine off and back on--but that didn't seem to have any effect, the system remained broken. I was able to use the rear view camera on the reviewer mirror--but the normal backup cameras remained non-functioning. I promptly tried opening the camera settings again to reset all of the brightness, contrast, tone, color, and black level settings to the default values... but still, the preview area was black and no image could seen. I've verified the outside of the vehicle... these cameras are not blocked at all. There was nothing that could've cause these to go dark. I drive the vehicle home (~5 miles), and found the camera still not to be working.

Vehicle aggressively and without cause engaged the Automatic Emergency Braking System causing the driver to be slammed against her seat belt and almost having the car in back of us to almost rear end our vehicle. This has happened in the past but it has been a manageable slight deceleration when going around a gentle curve or at the railroad overpass. . This time the incident was intense almost causing a rear end collision. I would add that this severe incident happened when approaching the same railroad overpass in the rain. This has also happened at this intersection in good weather. Under all circumstances there were no obstructions I front of the vehicle. I have read that this problem has occurred in earlier years of Nissan products. In all instances the appropriate system warning light illuminated.

The contact owns a 2020 Infiniti QX80. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V373000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The local dealer and the manufacturer were made aware of the issue. The contact had experienced a failure where the vehicle would not start as needed. The contact related the failure to the recall. Parts distribution disconnect. The failure mileage was not available.

THE CRUISE CONTROL IS VERY ABRUPTED WHEN ENGAGING THE RESUME FEATURE. THE CRUISE WILL CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO DOWNSHIFT AND ENGINE TO REV ABOVE 5000 RPMS FOR JUST A COUPLE OF MPH SPEED INCREASE. I BELIEVE THIS A DESIGN FLAW THAT COULD CAUSE A DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR.

The vehicle loses power due to failure of fuel pump, this causes the vehicle to stall out whilst driving. exactly as described in [XXX] this is a known issue with 2021 Infiniti QX80 and Infiniti tells me there is no open recal for our vehicle. This is unsafe and dangerous. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I have been saying that my vehicle is a safety hazard since April 2022. I have had it to the dealer 4x since then in addition to opening up several cases with Inifiniti Customer Service, but nobody has been able to protect my family and I and remedy the situation. At times the vehicle will not accelerate even when I push the gas all the way down. Then it will kick in and surge forward. I also have told them that at times it feels as if someone has rear ended me. There is a recall out there for cars manufactured through April 2020, but mine was manufactured in September 2020. Infiniti's recall is #R21A3 and the NHTSA ID is 21V373. I have experienced the same exact symptoms as those covered under this recall. Now Inifiniti is telling me that my transmission needs to be replaced as a result of metal shavings in the oil. Again, this could all have been caused by this fuel pump issue which was on their radar in 2021 and 2022 when I brought my car in the first time. Infiniti has failed to help me in every step of the way beginning with their Service Tech not fixing the issue back in 2022 through 2024 when I have consistently expressed my concerns while the car was still under warranty.

This is a 2021 Vehicle, and beginning in April of 2022, I have been telling my dealer that there is something wrong, but they haven't been able to fix it. When I am driving, there are times when the car will fail to accelerate. Also at times it feels like I have been rear ended and the car lurches. I have said this is a safety issue and neither the dealer nor Inifiniti Customer Consumer Affairs have taken this seriously and remedied the situation. They all say there is nothing they can do. I have taken it to the dealer 6 times and opened up a case with Infiniti back in 2024 with no resolution.
