Questionable quality

Front wheel bearings went bad on my 2016 at only 7 years old and 44k miles, which is unheard of for regular use. $1200+ to replace. Cruise control is jerky. Transmission makes some loud noises when shifting into gear. Infotainment is horrible, never know when it will connect to my phone, sometimes it surprises me and works. Powerful and thirsty, gets 10mpg city.

Infinity 2016 QX80 depreciation

Car is great overall however the Infinity QX80 does not hold its value and expect To take a huge loss if you plan on selling you're used QX80. I bought mine a little over 1-year ago with a sticker price of 81K and now 1-year later it's valued at 48K, a 30K + drop in 1-year. I will never buy a Infinity again

Qx80 backup camera Disappointment

My review is negative because of the car quality not the overall company because I had a great experience with the local dealer here. I'm very disappointed with the QX80 2018: Quality of the backup camera and the 360 degrees cameras, this is by far the worst quality of cameras in the car market! It looks like a camera from 10 years ago. The car also love gas too much, I'm averaging 11 miles in the city and 13.5 in the highway, I had big engine cars all my life and this car is the worst in that department. You would expect when you pay over 75k for a car with normal backup camera, that's my biggest complaint with the car!!! At night you can’t even see anything.

2 years in and the problems started QX80 Limited

After 2 years and 30K miles we started having engine noise. It sounded like the valve train was ticking. We ended up bringing the vehicle back at 50K and they scoped the number 7 cylinder and found no scarring. The noise kept getting louder. We went back a third time after the factory warranty had past and they found scarring and replaced the engine only after the original warranty ended. Thank goodness we purchased Certified at 12K and added the elite wrap protection. At 87000 we needed a new air compressor, seat heater elements, running board approach lights. We are now selling as our wrap coverage is due to end.

After getting the dealer to make the major repairs needed for my vehicle, I’m please with the vehicle. I’ve had it for about a year now and so far it’s done well. I will be taking it out on the highway this summer so we’ll see how it goes.
