Which model years to check twice
Complaints per production run, so a year that simply sold more does not top the list. On the Infiniti QX60 the gap between build years is 3.5×: a 2014 car draws 5.6 complaints per run, a 2016 one 1.6.
| Year | Per run | Complaints | Runs | Crashes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 4 | 4 | — | |
| 2025 | 18 | 14 | 1 | |
| 2024 | 20 | 16 | 1 | |

Heaviest year here is 2014 at 5.6 complaints per run; lightest is 2026 at 1. The 2026 line is still collecting reports, so it reads low.
