Each year is complaints filed in that year’s first 3 years on the road, divided by however many of those years have passed. A model year younger than 3 years is too early to compare, so it is left out of the years named as having the fewest or the most complaints. Recalls are a separate count. The numbers are for the US-market Infiniti QX30. How we count.

Known issues for this generation

Recall 17V-691 covers certain 2017-2018 INFINITI QX30 vehicles: the driver's air bag may unexpectedly deploy due to insufficient grounding of the steering components if an electrostatic discharge occurs and the air bag clockspring is broken. Dealers add sufficient grounding to the steering components. Recall 16V-939 covers certain 2017 QX30 vehicles whose passenger air bag inflator initiator may fail to ignite; dealers replace the passenger air bag assembly. Recall 21V-419 covers certain 2017 QX30 vehicles: the steering shaft bore hole for the universal-joint bearing may allow excessive movement that, over time, could separate the joint; dealers replace the lower steering shaft.
