Check engine light has been coming on and off intermittently for over a year; it has remained on continuously for the past several days. An OBD-II scan on October 30, 2026 at 67,484 miles recorded stored, pending and permanent codes P17F1 (CVT judder, clutch A hydraulic pressure), P0101 and C1130. I have reported CVT judder/shudder under light acceleration to the INFINITI dealer multiple times: September 15, 2025, March 23, 2026, and October 10, 2026. Each time I was told the concern could not be duplicated, and on October 10, 2026 a CVT fluid drain and refill was flagged due by time and mileage on the multipoint inspection and deferred. The judder symptom is now confirmed by a stored P17F1. All of this was reported while the vehicle was under the INFINITI Elite CPO warranty, which expired August 16, 2026 at only 67,500 miles of its 100,000-mile allowance. This is the same INFINITI CVT covered by service bulletin ITB15-012i for judder diagnosis and repair on 2014-2018 QX60 models, and by the $277.7 million CVT class settlement that extended warranty coverage to 96 months on 2015-2018 QX60s; the 2019 model year is excluded from both. Code C1130 (ABS module reporting engine signal fault) is also stored; INFINITI recall R1917 (the federal safety agency 19V‑807) covers ABS actuator inspection on 2017-2019 QX60 vehicles. The vehicle is currently being diagnosed again by the dealer and a goodwill request will been requested.

What owners say
The airbag/crash sensor warning light illuminates intermittently and randomly. The warning appears without any change in seating, road condition, or impact, and clears on its own or after a restart. I have observed this for months and raised it with the servicing Infiniti dealership, where it was documented on 10/31/2026 during the current diagnostic visit; earlier attempts to reproduce it returned "could not replicate." An intermittent airbag warning light means the airbag system's readiness cannot be confirmed: airbags may fail to deploy in a crash or may deploy unexpectedly. The vehicle has also recorded code C1130, an ABS module communication fault, and was included in the federal safety agency recall 19V‑807 for ABS actuator inspection, showing this generation has documented electronic control faults. The intermittent warning has never been diagnosed or repaired, and the warranty term has since ended. The vehicle is currently at the dealership for diagnosis.
I am reporting a serious safety concern with my 2016 Infiniti QX60 involving a defective cooling fan system. The vehicle currently experiences a ticking/tapping noise from the cooling fan, and the fan does not operate properly, which has caused the engine to overheat. This condition creates a significant safety hazard, as engine overheating can lead to sudden engine failure while driving, increasing the risk of an accident. The issue also makes it unsafe to use essential features such as the air conditioner in hot weather and the defroster in cold conditions, which impacts visibility and driver safety. This defect appears to be part of a known issue affecting this vehicle platform, where the cooling fan system fails prematurely. I understand there have been allegations, including in Anderson v. Nissan North America, that the manufacturer may have been aware of this defect but did not adequately disclose it. In addition, I am aware that this vehicle model has been associated with other safety-related recalls, including issues involving the ABS actuator (which may pose a fire risk) and the hybrid powertrain control system (if applicable). These existing concerns further highlight the urgency of addressing this defect. This is not normal wear and tear, but a potential safety-related defect that places drivers, passengers, and others on the road at risk. I am concerned about continuing to operate this vehicle and potentially causing an accident or injury due to overheating or loss of vehicle function. I am requesting that this issue be formally investigated to determine whether a recall or corrective action is necessary to prevent harm.
ABS lit stayed lit and AWD error lit also on.
To whom this may concern.My vehicle middle console is completely out.My Radio no longer powers on.The A/C runs continuously however I’m unable to control any functions including my defrosts.therefore as the weather is getting colder I’m not able to activate the defrost so my front window fogs up clearing my view I’m able to utilize my wipers wisely.Last for not least my ABS Air bag light comes on and then continues to flash throughout my commutes.I’m not understanding why am I being told that I’ll be the one responsible for the bill..This situation was and clearly is nothing to do with my actions.
Abs light goes on once or twice a week and stays on until car is turned off. My car isn't listed under recall with my VIN number. It is within the make, model, and year same ad the other cars that are recalled for ABS light.
Issue: every 2-3 months car has had a total break failure. By total brake failure I mean pedal goes all the way to bottom and seat belts tighten with 0 breaking power. Pumping breaks 2-3 times then returns to normal. Issue is not easily repeatable. Only other symptom is break pedal seems a bit softer than usual. Issue history: issue first started spring/summer 2019. Tried various items to fix issue including: bleeding break lines, switching master cylinder, etc. Car primarily serviced at jim lupient infinity dealer. Last item dealer wanted was to replace was the ABS , but in big capital letters (may not fix issue). Contacted infinity consumer assistance and got 0 assistance. Infinity case number: 40461337 this car, as is, is a bad accident waiting to happen. We sold the car to the infinity dealer well bellow cost as could not in good conscience sell it to someone else due to how unsafe it is. This issue needs to be reported and investigated and potentially issue a recall. Issue similar to the federal safety agency id number: 11318845 infinity case number: [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Intermittent issues involving the braking system. 1. Brake pedal sinks slowly to floor when braking or in stop. Wheezing or chirping sound when releasing the brake pedal. 2. When braking softly, brake pedal travels about 50% before the vehicle begins slowing. 3. Issue persists the entire time the car is in use. Had several near misses with hitting vehicles and pedestrians in front. Vehicle has only 32k miles. Problem is reduced when intelligent brake assist (iba) is turned off. Mechanics advised problem with ABS actuator and similar issues reported on 2014 to 2017 models. Recall must be made as son as possible as there are safety critical and other drivers experiencing same issue.
