The backup camera image intermittently goes blank. The failure occurs randomly; the only way to restore the image is to turn the vehicle off and restart it. When the camera is blank, the driver has no rear-view image when shifting into Reverse, which is a collision risk to pedestrians, including children, behind the vehicle. I reported this condition to the servicing Infiniti dealership multiple times over the years, and at one point the changed the camera, but most recently in 2026 when the vehicle was tested and the failure was documented as "could not replicate," and I was instructed to return if it happened again. The fault continues to occur. The same failure pattern was documented on both March and October 2026 visits. the federal safety agency Campaign 19V‑654 / Infiniti R1911 recalled 2018-2019 QX60 vehicles for rear-view camera image failures. My vehicle's camera blanks completely and intermittently and is repaired only by a full power cycle, a different failure mode on the same safety-critical component. The condition has been reported during the warranty term and was never truly repaired.

I bought my QX60 2017 in April of 2021. fine til wk 2 experienced electrical issues liftgate stops going up or down randomly, hesitation in the acceleration when pulling into traffic (quite scary when you almost get rammed). concerns told to dealership stated I needed to change key fob battery. I already had and it was fine. They insisted I cchangeit so I did.. Not the issue. So I made an appt to have concerns checked.. ie transmission hesitation and electrical . I brought it in got a loaner. Many days later it was ready and I could pick it up they could find no issues they fixed nothing but the groan in the gas tank that's it. They said they couldn't duplicate it. So I reiterated to them to make sure that they understood that it was done at random and it's still being done at random months later. So I brought the car home and I've just been dealing with it not knowing what else to do cuz if they don't take the car and actually drive it like it's their own they probably won't experience it just driving around the parking lot. And even though they had it a week and could have done that I guess they didn't. Well then back in the end of August beginning of September my car wouldn't start I had to put the key fob next to the button in order to start it which I didn't figure out till later lots of electrical things were happening at that point added to what I already had so I brought it to them and they said it was the battery it was under warranty so they changed and explain that that should take care of all of my issues and if not bring it back in. So I've made another appointment for today and I'm bringing it back in because the hesitation is still there there's more electrical issues there's always been a Bluetooth electrical issue there's now rear camera, volume sometimes work sometimes blows your ears out, vibration in engine compartment, unlock door open door it sounds unlocking again repeatedly repeatedly and liftgate still

I was bckng out of a pkng spot between 2 cars and the back up camera showed lots of space. I made sure the right of my vehicle would not hit parked cars I was clear on the left. I backed up a few inches and heard glass break and tapped the beige brick wall. Until impact the sensors did not light up or beep at all. At the point of impact it was frenzy beeping. A witness saw the incident and we walked behind the vehicle to see damage. Because the rear lights and brake lights stick out further than the bumper the lights are damaged. I took it to the dealer the next day, tmo came out to look at my issue. He tested the back up with an employee standing behind the same sensor. It did it's job and started beeping at approx a ft. From the employee who was wearing dark uniform clothes. I was dismissed that they couldn't test the sensor because it was damaged (why would an executive put an employee behind the same "damaged" sensor that worked? I asked tmo ok humor me and back into that beige wall over there - he said to get in,passenger. He proceeded to back into the wall, neither lights nor sensor light up or beeped. I looked at the camera looked like lots of room left. I told him to keep going - see how close you can get. His answer was no, maybe your right it doesn't detect light color objects. Call consumer affairs and tell them. Consumer affairs brandon called today, he said to hold while he called the dealer to get an internal specialist scheduled to check out the sensor with the service dept. Brandon got back on the line and said since it was a collision no way to check the sensors. Well, I have a drivers sensors that wasn't affected test that one. They declined. My own family testing shows the sensors do not detect a beige or white color until the point of impact. I was told not to rely on electrical they are aids only and could fail. Beware of people in beige or white.
