Read this first

Complaint volume tracks how many cars a make sold as much as how they held up, and NHTSA complaints are unverified owner reports rather than confirmed defects. Nothing on this page compares Infiniti against another manufacturer. Use it to find the model, then the model year, then read what owners of that year actually filed.

Reading the numbers

Across every Infiniti model year on the site, electrical system is the system named most often — 647 complaints, 16.1% of those filed under a named system. Individual model years diverge from that sharply, which is the reason to read the year rather than the badge.

The three most-reported Infiniti models — G35, QX60 and M35 — account for 51.8% of the make's complaint volume. The rest is spread across the other 9 models. Bear in mind that a nameplate selling in the millions will out-file a niche one whatever its record.

Of the 5,410 complaints, 256 describe a crash, 58 describe a fire and 34 report a death.
