Infiniti Lemon Law Texas: What You Need to Know

Infiniti — Nissan's luxury brand — is popular in Texas for models like the Q50, QX60, and QX80. But NHTSA complaint data shows Texas Infiniti owners dealing with chronic engine problems, powertrain failures, and airbag defects. If your Infiniti has been to the dealer multiple times for the same issue without a lasting fix, Texas Lemon Law may entitle you to a full refund or replacement vehicle.

What Is the Texas Lemon Law?

The Texas Lemon Law is a state consumer protection statute that gives vehicle buyers the right to a refund or replacement when a manufacturer cannot repair a substantial defect after a reasonable number of attempts. It covers new vehicles and warranted used vehicles purchased from a licensed Texas dealer under the original manufacturer's warranty.

Infiniti-Specific Complaints: What NHTSA Data Shows

Infiniti vehicles in our NHTSA database show the following top complaint categories:

• Engine (63 complaints): Engine stalling, oil consumption, and cylinder deactivation system failures are among the most common complaints from Infiniti owners across the Q50, Q70, and QX models.
• Power Train (36 complaints): Driveshaft vibration, CVT transmission shudder, and 7-speed automatic hesitation are frequent powertrain complaints from Infiniti drivers.
• Electrical System (27 complaints): InTouch infotainment system failures, navigation lockups, and electrical warning lights are widely reported on newer Infiniti models.
• Air Bags (22 complaints): Airbag warning lights and inflator module concerns — including Takata-related issues — are documented across multiple Infiniti models.
• Unknown/Other (22 complaints): Unexplained behaviors that Infiniti dealers cannot diagnose or reproduce, leading to repeat service visits.

Infiniti Recalls in Texas

Significant Infiniti recalls in our database include:

• Takata Airbag Inflator (M35, M45): The Infiniti M35 had 70 recall entries for passenger-side inflator modules and 55 for driver-side inflator modules. The M45 had the same. This is part of the largest automotive recall in U.S. history.
• Driveshaft Recall (Q70, Q70 Hybrid, Q50, Q70L): The Infiniti Q70 had 46 recall entries for driveshaft defects, the Q70 Hybrid had 39, and the Q50 and Q70L each had 35 entries — representing a serious safety concern.

How Texas Lemon Law Applies to Your Infiniti

Your Infiniti may qualify for Texas Lemon Law protection under one of three tests:

• Four-Attempt Test: The same substantial defect has been subject to 4 or more repair attempts without resolution.
• Safety Hazard Test: A defect posing a serious safety risk (such as airbag or driveshaft failures) has been attempted at least 2 times without being fixed.
• 30-Day Rule: Your Infiniti has been out of service for warranty repairs for a cumulative 30+ days.

Before filing a Lemon Law complaint with the Texas DMV, you must provide written notice to Infiniti's parent company (Nissan North America) giving them a final opportunity to repair the defect. Missing this step is one of the most common reasons claims are dismissed.

What You Can Get

A successful Infiniti Lemon Law claim in Texas can result in a full refund of the purchase price (minus a mileage offset), a comparable Infiniti replacement, or a negotiated cash settlement. Infiniti/Nissan must pay your attorney's fees under Texas law if you prevail.
