Lemon Law · Infiniti
Infiniti lemon law attorney in California
Owners of Infiniti QX60, QX80, and Q50 vehicles have filed complaints with federal safety regulators describing electrical system failures, engine performance problems, power train malfunctions, and brake concerns. The most frequently reported category involves electrical components, including displays that shut off without warning and systems that fail intermittently. Engine-related reports describe stalling, loss of power, and fuel delivery failures. Steering and suspension complaints include components that may deform under impact. When a defect covered by the manufacturer's warranty is not repaired after a reasonable number of attempts, California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act may require the manufacturer to replace the vehicle or refund its purchase price. The statute typically considers two repair visits reasonable for a safety defect and four for other problems, or thirty cumulative days out of service during the warranty period. These presumptions apply when the defect is first reported, and the vehicle is presented for warranty repair, within 18 months of delivery or 18,000 miles, whichever comes first (Cal. Civ. Code § 1793.22).
Known defects
What Infiniti owners report, and why repeat repairs matter
These are the categories owners file most often with the federal safety regulator for the Infiniti model years in the record below. A complaint is one owner's report, not a finding that a vehicle is defective.
Electrical System Failures
Owners report center display units that turn off completely or reset continuously. Some describe car alarms that activate without cause when parked. Others report systems that disable the rear-view camera, navigation, and audio simultaneously. One recall campaign addressed a software error preventing the rear-view camera from displaying. Electrical faults that recur after repair generate the documentary record the Song-Beverly Act requires, particularly when the same symptom appears across multiple service visits.
QX60 · QX80
Engine Stalling and Fuel Delivery
Federal regulators opened a recall campaign for fuel pump modules that swell and bind, causing pump failure and engine stalls. Owners describe vehicles that lose power suddenly or fail to start. Some report the problem returned after service. The statute treats loss of motive power as a safety defect, and two unsuccessful repair attempts may establish a presumption that the manufacturer has had a reasonable opportunity to repair.
QX60 · QX80
Power Train Malfunctions
Owners report vehicles that will not accelerate even when the accelerator is fully depressed, then surge forward unpredictably. One recall addressed an engine control module that incorrectly reduced engine power and fuel supply after detecting rapid acceleration. Complaints describe hesitation, lack of response, and sudden engagement. When a power train defect persists across multiple repair visits, the repair history may support a claim under the warranty act.
QX60 · QX80 · Q50
Brake System Concerns
Service brake complaints appear in the federal database for both the QX60 and Q50. Owners report braking performance issues to federal regulators. Brake defects fall within the safety category under Song-Beverly, meaning two repair attempts for substantially the same condition may be sufficient to trigger the manufacturer's repurchase or replacement obligations if the defect remains unfixed. Each repair order and symptom description becomes part of the claim record.
QX60 · Q50
Steering and Suspension Defects
One recall campaign warned that front steering knuckles or rear axle housings may have insufficient strength due to improper heat treatment, risking deformation upon impact or wheel separation. Owners describe steering assemblies that feel faulty, particularly on uneven pavement. Steering defects are safety issues under the statute. If a vehicle returns for the same steering or suspension concern after one attempted repair, the manufacturer may already be on notice.
Q50 · QX60
Seat Integrity and Occupant Protection
Multiple recall campaigns addressed seat fasteners and assembly defects in the QX60. One involved second-row seat tracks missing mounting bolts; another described driver's seats not fully secured to the seat frame, causing welds to detach. A third covered adjustable seats that extend past the stopper or fail to lock. Seats that do not remain secured during a crash increase injury risk. Repeat repairs for seat movement or structural concerns document a continuing defect.

The statute
When a Infiniti problem becomes a lemon
These are the presumptions in the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act and the Tanner Consumer Protection Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1793.22). Each applies when the defect is first reported, and the vehicle is presented for warranty repair, within 18 months of delivery or 18,000 miles, whichever comes first. They are presumptions, not predictions about any individual vehicle.
A
Two or more attempts (safety)
For a defect that could cause death or serious injury, reported within 18 months or 18,000 miles.
B
Four or more attempts
For the same non-safety warranty problem, reported within 18 months or 18,000 miles.
C
30 days out of service
Cumulative, for warranty repair, within 18 months or 18,000 miles.
