2019 Infiniti QX50

Defect. Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Rogue, 2019-2020 Altima, 2019-2022 Infiniti QX50, and 2022 Infiniti QX55 vehicles equipped with 3-cylinder 1.5L or 4-cylinder 2.0L variable compression turbo (VC-Turbo) engines. The engine bearings may have manufacturing defects that can lead to engine failure.

Risk. Engine failure increases the risk of a crash. A bearing failure may cause a breach in the engine block, allowing hot oil to be discharged, increasing the risk of an engine fire.

Remedy. Dealers will reprogram the engine control module (ECM) software, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed April 8, 2026. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 800-647-7261 or Infiniti's customer service at 1-800-662-6200. Nissan's numbers for this recall are R25A8/A9 and R25B1/B2.

Defect. Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Risk. The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.

Defect. Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2019 INFINITI QX50 vehicles. In the event of a crash in very cold temperatures, the trim cover may separate unexpectedly from the passenger-side knee air bag module instead of splitting at the trim cover tear seam as designed.

Risk. If the passenger-side knee air bag cover detaches during deployment, it can increase the risk of injury.

Remedy. INFINITI will notify owners, and retailers will replace the passenger-side knee air bag module, free of charge. The recall began October 23, 2018. Owners may contact INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.

On October 11, 2026, while driving my 2019 Infiniti QX50, I experienced a sudden loss of engine power. The check-engine light began flashing, the engine started shaking and making a knocking noise, and the vehicle would not accelerate beyond approximately 20 mph despite pressing the accelerator. This unexpected loss of power created a serious safety concern because I could no longer maintain normal driving speeds. In February 2026, at approximately 170,450 miles, my vehicle underwent an inspection at Infiniti of South Atlanta under NHTSA safety recall 25V437, involving defective engine bearings. The dealership informed me that the vehicle passed because insufficient metal debris was found in the oil pan to qualify for engine replacement. Approximately eight months later, on October 12, 2026, the same dealership inspected my vehicle at 197,467 miles. The technician's notes documented failed connecting rod bearings and an injector failure. The dealership recommended replacing the engine long block, turbocharger, and associated components. The vehicle remains at the dealership, unrepaired and available for further inspection by arrangement. I am concerned that the engine experienced a bearing failure after previously passing an inspection under a safety recall involving defective engine bearings. The relationship between this failure and the recall has not yet been determined. I request that NHTSA review this incident and investigate whether the failure may be related to recall

While driving on the highway, all of a sudden I heard a very loud boom and then heard some wind/air movement. The sunroom shade was closed but when i pulled over and got out, the sunroof was shattered and the sunroom framing was coming off the car. The glass that fell into the car was caught by the sunroof shade but there were large chunks of glass on the outside too with some pointing outward (as if explosion from inside and pushed it out). If the shade was open, glass would have fallen into the car and potentially caused injury to me and my dog. There were no damage or cracks in the window that were visible to cameras above my garage that morning. The dashcam footage also does not show anything coming towards the car at that moment. It is clear on the images the glass is angled out from the car. I have seen this exact case on the news and online for both Infiniti and Nissan. I was a couple miles from Infiniti and brought it in. The team working (sales team only onsite that day) have not seen this and recommended I submit to insurance as they cannot confirm the cause. I will be submitting to Infiniti Consumer Relations once they are open. I submitted claim to insurance, pending response. (Images named "IMG..." were photos taken off the exit immediately after the incident occurred.)

While driving my 2019 Infiniti QX50, the engine suddenly lost significant power and entered failsafe (limp) mode due to a diagnosed VCR actuator fault (diagnostic codes P11A8-00 and P11AC-00). The sudden power loss caused a single-vehicle accident. No injuries. The vehicle had recall 25V437 service performed at Infiniti of White Plains on 08/27/2026. The check engine light was documented as ON during that visit. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether the VCR actuator failure mode can cause sudden power loss creating a crash risk.

While driving on the highway the vehicle would not accelerate and the oil pressure light came on. After pulling over we noticed a slight burning smell and cut the engine. After a few minutes we tried to start the car again and it would not start. Vehicle was towed to independent repair shop who told us the engine had seized. We then learned of the current recall effecting this make model and year of vehicle. The vehicle experienced the same series of events outlined in a service bulletin for the recall. Vehicle was then towed to local Infiniti dealer and they were told the engine is seized and asked to drop oil pan per recall guidelines to confirm and diagnose. After not hearing from dealer after 2 weeks I follow up to be told the vehicle had not been looked at yet and they would get it in that day and call me no later than next day. Once week goes by and they still had not contacted me. I contact them and am told the only thing wrong with my vehicle was a dead battery and that would cost X amount to replace. At that point my car had been sitting in the summer sun for 3 weeks, of course the battery is dead. I reluctantly agree to the repair. After another week I follow up on the repair and am told after replacing the battery the car still will not start and I asked again about the recall diagnosis. After another week, we contact them and am told the car shows information consistent with bearings recall and they submit to Infiniti to approve. A repair timeline is discussed at

The contact owns a 2019 Infiniti QX50. The contact stated that while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle stalled; however, the contact was able to pull off the highway safely to a safe place. There was an abnormal burning odor coming from the vehicle. The oil pressure warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed with a seized engine. The vehicle was later towed to dealer to see if the failure was associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V437000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). However, the contact was notified that failure was caused by sludge in engine and could not qualify under the recall. The contact stated that the vehicle had exhibited the failure described in the recall, but the manufacturer and dealer refused to repair the vehicle without charge. The manufacturer was contacted by phone and made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 94,000.

#11753348 - on 7/1/2026, Infiniti Dealer found metal shavings actively present in my oil pan during a recall inspection. They passed the vehicle as good condition stating nothing found per a vehicle inspection report given to me. On July 25, 2026, my engine red light came on while driving and my engine began to shake violently and making a loud clunking noise. I towed the vehicle back to the dealer for another recall inspection. On 8/30/2026, the dealer informed me that the engine was failing due to the recall and needing bearing replacement but due to it passing back in July I would be responsible for replacing the bearings. They invoiced me for excess of $15,000, the diagnostic inspection of $270 and demanded that I return the loaner vehicle. When I returned the loaner vehicle on 9/3/2026, they attempted to sell me a new/pre-owned vehicle instead of providing me a written denial refusal notice of not honoring the vehicle recall. On 9/5/2026 Infiniti Consumer Affairs representative verbally confirmed that they were informed by the dealer that there were metal shavings present in my oil pan but denied the repair because there were not "chunks" or "clusters" of metal present. The manufacturer verbally claimed that the metal debris did not meet an internal, undocumented threshold of "chunks" or "clusters," and explicitly stated that Infiniti considered my vehicle's mileage and vehicle age and sludge present on the latter inspection that was not present on July 1 nor reported in

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally request immediate assistance regarding a serious failure in my INFINITI vehicle. The vehicle’s compressor stopped working with fewer than 60,000 miles driven, which is unacceptable for a new vehicle and raises significant concerns about manufacturing quality and safety. This failure is especially troubling because the vehicle has already been subject to multiple serious engine-related recalls number NHTSA Recall 25V-437. The air conditioning stopped working properly after the car was serviced for this recall. The combination of repeated critical issues and now a major component failure at under 60K miles suggests a pattern of defects that should not exist in a vehicle of this class or price point. I am requesting the following: A full diagnostic review at no cost, Taverna Infinity is trying to charge me $300.00 for a simple diagnosis. Written confirmation of whether this failure is related to existing or pending recalls A clear explanation of how INFINITI intends to ensure the long‑term reliability and safety of this vehicle Consideration for replacement or buyback if the vehicle continues to demonstrate systemic defects I expect a prompt response, as this situation has already caused significant inconvenience and raises legitimate concerns about the vehicle’s safety and reliability. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your timely reply. Sincerely,

The vehicle has metallic noises in the engine and drastic loss of power, compromising safety on the road. The problem in the VCR actuator was verified by Infiniti Taverna ([XXX]) and denied the repair by the extended warranty by them of up to 120k miles (currently my car is at 98k). There is an injection light on the dashboard. It was reported to Infiniti USA and they also denied the repair. The vehicle is my only means of transport to serve my [XXX] son.

The contact owns a 2019 Infiniti QX50. The contact stated that the vehicle was running rough while driving. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where an unknown recall inspection was performed, and the contact was informed that there was no debris found inside the oil pan. However, the failure persisted. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle made abnormally loud sounds while driving. The vehicle was taken to two different independent mechanics, where it was diagnosed and determined that four engine mounts had detached and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.

The power liftgate (automatic trunk) system on my 2019 Infiniti QX50 malfunctioned. After fully opening, the liftgate unexpectedly closed on its own without any warning beeps or resistance detection. This poses a severe safety risk. The heavy door struck my head, causing a physical injury (a severe bump/contusion). The vehicle and the affected components are available for inspection upon request. This problem has not yet been inspected, reproduced, or confirmed by a dealer, manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives, as I am reporting this dangerous safety defect immediately. Furthermore, there were no warning lamps, error messages, or any other symptoms prior to this sudden failure.

The contact owns a 2019 Infiniti QX50. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The contact stated that the vehicle was shaking erratically. In addition, the oil light and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The dealer was made aware of the failure. In addition, the vehicle was inspected on 07/01/2026 by the dealer under NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V437000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The contact was informed that the vehicle had passed the inspection. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The contact was informed that the mileage on the vehicle was over the mileage limitation. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

My 2019 Infiniti QX50 has the KR20DDET 2.0L VC-Turbo engine involved in NHTSA Recall 25V437/Infiniti Campaign R25B2 for potential engine-bearing failure, but my VIN does not currently show an open recall. The vehicle is at Infiniti Milwaukee, [XXX], [XXX]. During inspection, bronze-colored metallic glitter/debris was found in the engine oil. This may indicate internal bearing wear and appears consistent with the metal debris that Recall 25V437 requires dealers to check for in the lower oil pan. The dealership is refusing to acknowledge or report the bronze-colored debris as possible bearing material. It reported only “engine sludge” to Infiniti and is treating the engine repair as customer-pay. Sludge and bronze-colored metallic particles are visibly different conditions. The vehicle and engine are available for inspection at the dealership. I requested preservation of the oil, filter, oil-pan contents, photographs, video and technician findings. Bearing failure could cause engine damage or loss of power while driving, increasing crash risk. Warning lights before inspection: UNKNOWN. The exact composition of the debris is UNKNOWN pending testing. You see metal debris in oil pan of the video of an engine that failed citing sledge while clearing seeing metal debris in the photo provided by the dealership. I request that NHTSA investigate whether this vehicle was incorrectly excluded from the recall and whether recall-related metallic debris is being misclassified as sludge. INF

The contact owns a 2019 Infiniti QX50. The contact stated that after turning the vehicle off and exiting with the keys remaining inside the vehicle, the contact opened rear driver’s side door to retrieve a diaper bag and closed the door. While attempting to open the rear passenger’s side door to remove the child from the vehicle, the contact discovered that all four doors were locked. The Police and Fire Department was called to the scene. The window was intentionally fractured to unlock the door, and the child was removed from the vehicle. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 57,859.

2019 Infiniti QX50 with engine bearing failure defect matching NHTSA Recall #25V-437. Vehicle was sold to me on 12/24/2025 by a dealer, MORE THAN FIVE MONTHS after the recall was issued on 07/14/2025. The dealer NEVER disclosed the active, unrepaired safety recall. Two months after purchase, the engine developed loss of power and unusual noises - exact symptoms described in the recall. An independent mechanic diagnosed a pre-existing camshaft bearing defect. Despite component replacement, symptoms persist, confirming the defect was present at time of sale. This is a serious safety violation. The dealer knew or should have known about the recall via CARFAX and failed to disclose it, violating federal law 49 U.S.C. § 30120. The vehicle is unsafe to drive with an unrepaired engine bearing failure. Safety Risk: Engine bearing degradation can lead to complete engine failure while driving, resulting in loss of motive power and crash risk. Requested Action: Federal investigation into dealer's failure to disclose active safety recalls.

The issue on the 2019 Infiniti QX50 it's not the motor that they had the recall on it's the VCR actuator it goes bad causes the bracket that's connected to rub against the side of the engine block causes it to have metal shavings and the car to go in limp mode and can cause an accident it's a common issue just put one in and already bad not even a year The original one made it to $47,000 mi before going bad

The vehicle experienced hesitation, delayed acceleration, and multiple warning lights while driving. The loss of power was severe enough that the driver became afraid to make left turns across traffic because the vehicle would not accelerate quickly or consistently when needed. This created a significant safety risk, as the driver could not reliably judge whether the vehicle would clear an intersection before oncoming traffic. A diagnostic trouble code related to the turbocharger control system was retrieved during the first visit to the dealership. The vehicle was brought in for a recall inspection involving potential engine bearing wear and oil pressure issues, but the recall inspection was not performed on the first visit and was rescheduled. On the way to the recall appointment, additional warning lights illuminated and the vehicle again lost power. The dealership kept the vehicle and stated that further diagnostics were needed. Over several days, the dealership reported that diagnostics were being performed, but no diagnostic results, measurements, technician notes, or recall determination were provided. The manufacturer later confirmed that they had not received any diagnostic information from the dealership and could not proceed with the recall case. The dealership verbally stated that the turbocharger issue was “not related to the recall,” but no documentation was provided to support this. Instead, the dealership sent a cost‑sharing repair proposal without identifying

I am the owner of a 2019 Infiniti QX50, VIN [XXX] , and I am filing this complaint due to repeated, severe mechanical failures that have rendered my vehicle unreliable and unsafe. Since purchasing the vehicle, I have experienced catastrophic failures requiring two complete engine replacements, two turbocharger replacements, and one transmission replacement. My vehicle has spent over one year cumulatively at repair shops, leaving me without transportation and in constant fear for my safety. I am unable to drive this vehicle on the highway or for long distances due to the very real risk of sudden engine stall or failure at speed. I am aware that Nissan has issued Recall 25V-437 acknowledging manufacturing defects in the VC-Turbo engine bearings on the 2019–2022 Infiniti QX50, and I believe my vehicle's repeated failures are directly related to this defect. Despite multiple repair attempts by authorized Infiniti dealerships, the underlying issues have not been resolved. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this vehicle and pressure Nissan/Infiniti to provide an appropriate remedy, including a full vehicle repurchase or buyback. My family's safety is at risk every time we are forced to drive this vehicle. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2019 Infiniti QX50. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormally loud sound coming from the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V437000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with engine failure due to metal shavings found in the oil pan. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was denied an engine replacement. The dealer informed the contact that the claim was denied due to the vehicle exceeding the warranty mileage and a lack of proper maintenance. The contact provided maintenance records; however, the claim was still denied. The dealer stated that the failure was related to insufficient maintenance and not the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 135,000.

Good morning, I am writing to formally escalate a serious and unresolved safety concern involving my vehicle and to follow up on my existing case (Case #XXX). On April 22, 2026, while driving on the highway at approximately 55 mph, my vehicle suddenly performed a hard stop as if it detected an imminent collision. At the time, there were no visible obstructions or vehicles directly in front of me that would have warranted automatic emergency braking. This is a repeat issue. A nearly identical incident occurred on August 8, 2025, which was previously reported. Despite that report, the problem remains unresolved and continues to present a significant safety risk. These unexpected braking events create a hazardous driving condition with a clear risk of rear-end collision, particularly at highway speeds. Based on the pattern and circumstances, this strongly suggests a false activation of the automatic emergency braking system or a related safety system malfunction. Given the repeated nature of this issue and the potential safety implications, I am formally requesting: * Immediate escalation of this case to the appropriate engineering or safety review team * A full investigation as a potential safety defect * Identification of any related technical service bulletins, recalls, or known system issues * A clear plan and timeline for diagnosis and resolution at an authorized INFINITI dealership * Confirmation of whether reimbursement or other corrective action will be considered given

Recall on my 2019 infiniti qx50. I am a 100% service connected from the vietnam war I can no longer drive and because this is a critical safety recall I sent a email to infiniti asking for help in getting the vehicle towed repaired and returned to my home address it is 100+ miles one way. Again, I am a 100% service connected war veteran. The car was being used to carry me to appointments most of which is the VA. medical center. I am on disability income and i can not afford to have it towed so the vehicle is garaged at my home because I don't want anyone driving get hurt.

Sun roof exploded while driving at highway speed.All glass came into vehicle and caused a critical issue requiring me to pullover in an unsafe manner in order to not get cut by glass.

The car had a power failure so I took it to the dealer to have it checked since it had an open recall, according to what the mechanic tells me is that the fault comes from the mild tree, but he does not tell me what causes that failure and he has not given me the results of the recall either

I am filing a safety complaint regarding my 2019 Infiniti QX50 experiencing engine failure consistent with known bearing defects. On February 13, 2026, while driving from [XXX] to [XXX] on the highway, my vehicle began shaking severely, producing a rattling/knocking noise from the engine, and losing power while in motion. This created a dangerous driving condition and required the vehicle to be towed. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop in [XXX] , where it was diagnosed with engine bearing failure. The shop indicated that this issue was consistent with a known defect and that there was an active recall related to engine bearings at that time. Based on that information, the vehicle was towed to Bob Moore Infiniti in [XXX] for recall inspection and repair. Initially, the dealership indicated that there was an issue and that it was associated with a recall. However, they later reversed their position and stated that the vehicle was “fine” and did not perform any recall repair, despite the ongoing symptoms and prior diagnosis. The vehicle continues to exhibit the same dangerous symptoms, including shaking, engine knocking, and loss of power, and remains diagnosed by another repair facility as having engine bearing failure. This is a serious safety concern because the vehicle can lose power unexpectedly while driving at highway speeds. Additionally, there appears to be inconsistency in how this known defect is being handled, as my vehicle was initially identified as affected bu

On March 26, 2026 my 2019 Infiniti QX50 (VIN: [XXX] ) experienced complete loss of motive power while exiting the freeway. My blind mother and [XXX] autistic son were both passengers creating a serious safety emergency for two disabled individuals. On March 28, 2026 Les Schwab Tires (Store [XXX] ) professionally documented metal shavings in the oil pan on official invoice stating ‘SHAVING IN OIL PAN’ with my VIN recorded. I brought the vehicle to Infiniti Roseville [XXX] ). Their own official inspection report R/O 101930 dated March 28, 2026 confirms: ‘REMOVED OIL PAN AND INSPECTED FOR BEARING DEBRIS. FOUND SMALL AMOUNT OF METAL SILVER COLORED.’ The report also documents my reported intermittent power loss and references two photos of the debris taken during inspection. Despite finding documented metal debris consistent with recall R25B2 bearing failure, Infiniti Roseville is denying engine replacement claiming silver colored debris does not qualify. Nissan’s published recall criteria makes no such color distinction — it states metal debris qualifies for engine repair or replacement at no charge. Warning symptoms began December 5, 2025 including headlight flickering, high pitched engine whistling, VDC warning light January 25, 2026 — all documented with timestamped photos and video. The vehicle is currently at Infiniti Roseville. I am requesting federal intervention as the dealer is not complying with recall R25B2 repair criteria and is applying internal standards that contra

My vehicle was inspected at an authorized Infiniti dealership under an active recall. During that inspection, metal debris and loose bolts were found in the oil pan, indicating internal engine damage consistent with the recall condition. Despite this, Infiniti declined to repair or replace the engine. the engine failed completely while I was driving at highway speed, causing sudden loss of power and creating a serious safety hazard. I was left stranded in active traffic conditions, placing myself and others at risk. This incident raises significant safety concerns, including: Failure of the manufacturer to properly remedy a known recall condition, Continued operation of a vehicle with a known defect, Risk of sudden engine failure during normal driving conditions. Additionally, I did not receive timely notification of the recall. I should have been notified months earlier but only received notice on February 10, 2026. I have documentation from the dealership confirming the presence of metal debris and bolts in the engine, as well as photographic evidence of the damage. I am concerned that other vehicles with this defect may not be properly repaired, potentially leading to similar dangerous failures. Infiniti’s refusal to address a clearly defective engine identified during a recall inspection represents a serious safety issue that warrants investigation. I respectfully request that NHTSA review this matter and determine whether Infiniti is complying with its obligations to pro

The contact later received an extended warranty notification from the manufacturer stating that the extended warranty on the engine for 10 years/120,000 miles. However, the contact received a second recall notification to contact the dealer for the recall repair. The contact stated that while driving 70 MPH on an Interstate, the vehicle suddenly decelerated to 35 MPH, almost causing a crash. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road, and the contact turned off the vehicle. The vehicle was restarted after 15 minutes and driven to the residence. The dealer was contacted and confirmed that the recall had resumed, and a recall repair appointment was scheduled. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where the contact was verbally informed that no metal shavings were found in the oil pan upon inspection, and the engine was not replaced; however, the recall completion report that the dealer had provided to the contact confirmed that there were metal shavings found in the oil. The dealer was contacted, but informed the contact that the metal shavings found in the oil were not bearing materials. The vehicle was not repaired and was parked at the residence.

Vehicle: 2019 Infiniti QX50 Mileage at engine replacement: 31,830 miles Date of engine replacement: August 2023 (recall-related repair) The engine in my 2019 Infiniti QX50 was replaced under recall at 31,830 miles in August 2023. Approximately 18,633 miles later, the vehicle began experiencing transmission malfunction symptoms consistent with CVT failure. An independent mechanic diagnosed the CVT transmission as needing replacement. I then took the vehicle to an Infiniti dealership, and they confirmed transmission issues but declined warranty coverage because the powertrain warranty expired February 28, 2025. The transmission is directly integrated with the engine in this vehicle. Following the engine replacement, the transmission began exhibiting unsafe operating behavior, including hesitation, loss of acceleration response, and drivability instability. There are widespread consumer complaints and litigation involving this engine and CVT transmission combination in the 2019 Infiniti QX50. Infiniti extended coverage for the engine but has not extended coverage for the transmission despite known reliability concerns. I am now afraid to operate the vehicle due to concern of sudden transmission failure while driving, which could result in loss of power in traffic and create a safety hazard. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this recurring pattern of CVT transmission failure following engine defects in the 2019 Infiniti QX50.

2019 Infiniti QX50 was purchased new 9/3/2018 Engine safety problems started 9/3/22 and it was fixed in a two days. Total engine failure diagnosed by Infiniti Cerritos on March 31, 2025. The car was at 103,900 miles at this time. At this time the warranty coverage was for 72,000 miles and not extended to 120,000 miles yet. I paid for the replacement of the engine on 9/5/2025. I later got a recall notice and it said that the warranty engine coverage had been extended to 120,000 miles and that I would get reimbursed for repairs. I never got reimbursed after I submitted a reimbursement claim form through Infiniti assist. I keep getting the run around at Infiniti Consumer Affairs. I submitted a Lemon Law claim and the arbitrator is showing a lot of bias and I keep getting the run around as well. No arbitration meeting has been scheduled. I now got a 2nd recall notice on January 29,2026 stating that the engine oil pan needs to be checked for metal debris and it’s possible that engine will need to be replaced if metal found. I scheduled an appointment on February 10th, 2026. At this appointment I also notified them that I still hear a noise in the engine. Infiniti Cerritos refused to do the recall. They also want to charge for inspection diagnosis of the engine noise when it should be covered under the warranty and recall notice. It says free of charge on recall notice. This car is obviously a lemon because if the engine gets replaced it’s bound and will continue to have the same t

A few months ago, I received an email from CarFax letting me know that my vehicle, a 2019 Infiniti QX50 with 2.0L Turbo Engine had a major recall (NHTSA Recall Campaign No. 25V-437). The letter indicated the recall was due to issues with the engine bearings which could lead to a catastrophic failure. I wasn't sure what this meant, so I took the car to Austin INFINITI. The technicians checked the oil pan to see if there were issues. My understanding is that the oil pan should have been removed, drained of all oil to ensure there were no issues that could lead to the catastrophic failure of the engine. None of this was done. I was given my car back and told all was okay. Unfortunately On the evening of November 10, 2025, my vehicle’s engine suddenly seized while driving at highway speeds. Fortunately, I was able to coast onto the Frontage Road. For my protection, the Police Department arrived quickly to park police vehicles in the front and back of my car with their lights on to avoid a nighttime collision or worse. I had no idea why my engine suddenly lost power while driving down the highway and continued to refuse to start despite repeated attempts to restart the vehicle, the engine would not start. I was scared to death and this situation has exacerbated my current diagnosis of PTSD for which I am currently in treatment. This was a horrifying event that could have cost me my life. I can't eat or sleep and experience nightmares that my car died, then I am hit by a car drivin

While driving on the highway and using the hands free feature on iPhone, I said, Hey Siri, and somehow it made the automatic braking on my 2019 Infiniti Qx50 engage unexpectedly.

Car recently had an important safety recall that was suspended, my car is a 2019 QX 50 Infiniti Luxe, that recently shut down and had to be towed, infiniti dealership diagnosed the car and says I have all low compressions and that I need an engine, these symptoms were quoted to my service dealership prior that the car hesitate to take off, low pick up when I accelerate, stops out of nowhere at intersections, I was told car performs as it was designed to perform even tho I explained it has like a growling sound, now here I am with an engine failed vehicle that they are trying to charge me 13,000 for repairs, I am still paying on this car and have a balance of 14,000+ owed, the dealership is saying they performed a recall diagnosis and that no debri was found in oil pan, any mechanic should know just because debri wasn’t found in the oil pan does not mean the car is not eligible for recall repairs, especially if the diagnostic test was done too soon, the car is definitely part of the recall but they will not honor that, I only had the car just 3 years as of September 2025, the car itself is only 6 years old, this engine failure is definitely part of the recall and I should not be responsible for this repair, this is a safety hazard for me and Infiniti should be held accountable for this faulty engine.

2019 Infiniti QX50 Recall Campaign ID: R25B2 (Safety Recall 2025) Summary of Issue: I received a safety recall notice stating that my vehicle may have an engine manufacturing defect that could cause severe damage or complete engine failure. This poses a significant safety risk. Details: Contacted Infiniti Consumer Affairs on August 28, 2025 (Case #55702324) and my local dealer. Dealer confirmed recall is active but remedy is not available; they refused inspection even if I offered to pay.

No alternative transportation offered. Safety Concern: Driving the vehicle under these conditions could lead to sudden engine failure, increasing risk of accidents and injury. Requested Action: Confirm recall status and remedy timeline. Require manufacturer to provide inspection or alternative transportation until repairs are available.
