2017 INFINITI Q60 Complaints and Recall Information
The 2017 INFINITI Q60 has 3 complaints and 2 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners frequently report issues with the malfunction indicator light activating spontaneously, rough running, and power loss. Some also describe engine problems including turbo malfunctions and catastrophic engine failure at higher mileage.
Common Issues
- Malfunction indicator light. The light turns on spontaneously causing rough running and power loss, primarily when the vehicle is idling after being parked briefly.
- Power loss and rough idling. Engine rpm may drop unusually low causing vehicle to run roughly, especially noticeable around 35 mph.
- Turbocharger malfunction. Reports include documented smoking from the tailpipe and an official manufacturer notification of turbo issues without timely replacement.
- Engine failure. One owner reported a main bearing failure around 80,000 miles despite regular oil changes and no significant modifications beyond muffler and wheels, leading to costly repairs.
There are 2 recalls affecting the 2017 INFINITI Q60 related to the fuel system and electrical software. Both recalls address the Fuel Pump Control Module software that could cause the engine to stall by allowing insufficient fuel delivery from the main tank during operation.
Recalls
- Fuel Pump Control Module software. NHTSA recall 17V476000 impacts 14,192 vehicles including the 2017 INFINITI Q60. Incorrect software may cause the fuel level to drop too low to supply the engine, resulting in stalling. Engine stall raises the risk of a crash. Dealers will reprogram the module free of charge. No "Do Not Drive" or "Park Outside" advisories were issued.
Owners unable to resolve repeated repairs or facing safety-related defects from recalls may want to consult their state’s lemon law provisions for potential protections and remedies.

Engine threw a main bearing around 80 thousand miles in 2023, car was not modified other than different muffler on the back and aftermarket wheels and tires which has nothing to do with the engine. Car had oil changes every 3500-4500 miles with MOTUL full synthetic oil. No engines lights were given, car was taken to a Nissan dealership as manufacturer warranty was expired, my extended warranty was fidelity and they declined due to these aftermarket “changes” dealership gave me a quote over 25k dollars which is what I paid for the car in 2019. I understand it’s a luxury brand but these engines are well known for these issues and nothing is done other than some warranty extension for failing turbos which are also terrible and I believe to be the CAUSE of this thrown bearing, I have owned so many Nissans and will most likely never own another after this mistake. Still love the car but the people that buy these deserve better for the cost. The car is currently sitting in a garage because the cost is absurd.

Car malfunction light comes on spontaneously and runs rough and losses power and rpm can go to 4 at 35 mph and usually happens when car is idling parked for a little while. Them I cut it off and let it sit it goes back to normal. I also had prior problems with it smoking from tailpipe and it’s documented at dealership in Columbia SC and they said it wasn’t smoking enough to replace the turbos at the time but I got a notification from manufacturer about turbo malfunction.
