Infiniti Q60 — the 7 years we've written up
2014–2021, side by side: what goes wrong on each, what the fix costs, and what they typically ask. 5 of the 7 carry a high-severity issue.
What this page is
These are the 7 Infiniti Q60 model years Kestrel has done the homework on — not every year Infiniti built one. A year that isn't listed here isn't a year we're warning you off; it's one we haven't written up yet. Ranking a whole model run would mean telling you about years we've never looked at.
Infiniti Q60 by year
How many owner complaints NHTSA holds. A big number usually means a lot were sold; the shape matters more than the total.
Year by year
Engine control module can cut fuel after hard acceleration and stall the car (recall) — $0 with the recall — verify it was performed
Rear seat belts may not lock properly in a crash (recall) — $0 with the recall — verify it was performed
Centre screen goes black and the reversing camera goes with it (recall) — $0 with the recall — verify it was performed
Passenger occupancy sensor and its control unit — a five-figure dealer quote on some cars — $700–$1,600 for a sensor mat and recalibration at an independent seat-electronics specialist; $8,000–$18,000 if you accept the dealer repair
The 3.0T twin-turbo V6 loses coolant, then turbos and bearings — sometimes with no warning light — $6,000–$14,000 for a used or rebuilt engine fitted by an independent shop — dealer quotes for a new engine and turbochargers run far above that
Fuel gauge reads a third of a tank when the tank is actually empty — $400–$1,100 for a fuel level sending unit and the labour to drop or access the tank
Passenger seat occupancy sensor fails and switches the passenger airbag off — $600–$1,500 for a sensor mat and recalibration at a seat-electronics specialist; $3,500–$6,500 for the seat assembly the dealer quotes
2 of these 7 have no high-severity issue in our write-up. That means we didn't find an expensive recurring fault — not that one cannot exist on the specific vehicle you're looking at.
Looking at one in particular?
This page covers the Infiniti Q60 in general. The Kestrel report covers the one you're looking at — the asking price against the market, the photos, the seller's description, and a BUY / NEGOTIATE / WALK AWAY verdict with a negotiation script.

Known issues are based on documented owner reports, NHTSA complaints, class-action records, and manufacturer technical service bulletins. Individual vehicles vary. A pre-purchase inspection by a trusted mechanic is always worth doing.
