Overview

2016 Infiniti Q60

The 2016 Infiniti Q60 offers a blend of sporty styling and luxury, aiming for the premium coupe segment. While it boasts a clean record regarding safety recalls and consumer complaints, its reliability profile is nuanced. A notable count of 25 Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) suggests that while major failures are infrequent, owners may encounter smaller, fixable issues. These bulletins often address drivability, software glitches, or minor component adjustments that, though not critical, can impact the ownership experience. Buyers should prioritize understanding the TSB history relevant to any specific Q60 they consider.

Critical Failure Risk

TSBs often address issues with the infotainment system, including screen freezing, unresponsiveness, or audio problems. These are typically software-related or minor hardware faults.

Early detection can help you avoid a $150-$400 repair.
