Overview

2015 Infiniti QX60

The 2015 Infiniti QX60 is a three-row luxury SUV that prioritizes comfort and a smooth ride. It offers a capable 3.5-liter V6 engine paired with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, delivering adequate power for daily driving and family hauling. Its EPA combined fuel economy of 22 MPG is competitive for its class. However, a history of four safety recalls, primarily focused on the airbag system and brakes, alongside a substantial Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) count, signals potential for underlying issues that buyers must investigate thoroughly.

Critical Failure Risk

Recalls indicate issues with the Occupant Classification System (OCS) sensor, potentially leading to incorrect passenger classification and non-deployment of the front passenger airbag. This is a critical safety concern.

Early detection can help you avoid a $300-$1,000 repair.
