Overview

2024 Infiniti QX50

The 2024 Infiniti QX50 presents itself as a stylish and comfortable luxury crossover. Its cabin offers a premium feel, and the continuously variable transmission, paired with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, aims for a balance of performance and efficiency. While it boasts a 5-star overall NHTSA safety rating, a high number of recalls, primarily concerning the driver's side airbag inflator, warrants careful consideration for used buyers. The absence of consumer complaints is noted, but the critical nature of the recall issue overshadows this.

Critical Failure Risk

A critical safety recall (24V154000) addresses the driver's side airbag inflator module. Moisture absorption due to a manufacturing defect can lead to improper deployment during a collision, posing a severe safety risk.

Early detection can reduce the odds of major repair bills.
