Infiniti QX50

What it says about you

Opinion

The sensible one, with an engine that changes its own compression ratio — genuinely clever engineering nobody talks about. You talk about it.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

11 model years on record, 266 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has 1. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.

The years to look at closely: 2019 (engine engine). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.

Every year

  1. 2025 0 recalls 1 complaints
  2. 2024 1 recall 4 complaints
  3. 2023 1 recall 4 complaints
  4. 2022 2 recalls 16 complaints
  5. 2021 2 recalls 39 complaints
  6. 2020 2 recalls 30 complaints
  7. 2019 engine engine 135 complaints
  8. 2017 0 recalls 13 complaints
  9. 2016 0 recalls 19 complaints
  10. 2015 0 recalls 3 complaints
  11. 2014 0 recalls 2 complaints
