Does my Infiniti have a recall, and can I file a lemon law claim for it?

You can check for open Infiniti recalls at NHTSA.gov by entering your VIN. However, a recall and a lemon law claim are two different things. A recall addresses a specific safety defect across a model line — Nissan fixes it for free, and that's the end of it. A lemon law claim covers any substantial defect that the dealer can't fix after a reasonable number of attempts, whether or not it's been recalled. In our practice, we regularly see Infiniti vehicles with recurring problems that were never subject to a recall — persistent transmission issues, electrical failures, engine problems — that absolutely qualify under state lemon laws. If your Infiniti keeps going back to the dealer for the same issue, don't wait for a recall. Contact Easy Lemon for a free evaluation.

What is the Nissan buyback program and how does it work?

Nissan's buyback program is not a voluntary goodwill offer — it's a legal obligation triggered when a vehicle meets lemon law criteria under your state's statute. When Nissan "buys back" a vehicle, they repurchase it at the original sale price minus a mileage offset for the use you got before the defect appeared. The process involves filing a formal lemon law demand, negotiating with Nissan's legal team, and surrendering the vehicle once terms are finalized. Nissan does not advertise this — you need to assert your rights. Easy Lemon handles the entire process at no cost to you, because Nissan is required to pay our attorney's fees under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

What Infiniti models have the most lemon law claims?

Based on cases our firm has handled, the Infiniti QX60 leads in lemon law claims, followed by the Q50, QX80, Qx60. Engine/ Transmission and Electrical/ Technology are the primary drivers across all Infiniti models. If your Infiniti has been to the dealer multiple times for the same unresolved problem, you likely have a valid claim regardless of the specific model.

What are the most common Infiniti defects that qualify for lemon law?

From our caseload, the most common Infiniti defects we pursue under lemon law include: engine and transmission failures (stalling, rough shifting, loss of power, check engine lights); electrical and technology defects (infotainment malfunctions, sensor failures, wiring issues); brake, steering, and suspension problems. The key qualifier isn't the specific defect — it's whether the dealer has had a reasonable number of attempts to fix it and failed. If your Infiniti has been in the shop three or more times for the same problem, or out of service for 30 or more cumulative days, you likely have a valid lemon law claim.

What is the average Infiniti lemon law settlement?

Infiniti lemon law settlements vary based on the vehicle's purchase price, defect severity, repair history, and your state's lemon law. Cash & Keep settlements — where you keep the vehicle and receive a cash payout — typically range from $3,000 to $6,000. Buyback cases, where Nissan repurchases the vehicle entirely, result in significantly higher total recoveries. Easy Lemon evaluates every case individually to maximize your compensation.

Can I file a lemon law claim on a Infiniti that's still under warranty?

Yes — and acting while the warranty is active strengthens your case. Most state lemon laws require the defect to occur during the manufacturer's warranty period. If your Infiniti has been in the shop three or more times for the same unresolved problem — or out of service for 30 or more cumulative days — you likely have a valid claim. Don't wait until the warranty expires. Easy Lemon evaluates your case for free and handles the entire process at no cost to you.

How does the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protect Infiniti owners?

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is a federal consumer protection law that works alongside your state's lemon law to protect Infiniti owners nationwide. Under Magnuson-Moss, when Nissan's warranty fails in its essential purpose — meaning the dealer cannot fix a covered defect despite reasonable attempts — you can pursue a refund, replacement, or damages regardless of which state you live in. Critically, Nissan is required to pay your attorney's fees if you prevail, which is why Easy Lemon can represent you at no out-of-pocket cost.

¿Mi Infiniti califica como un limón bajo la ley?

En la mayoría de los estados, su Infiniti puede calificar si el mismo defecto ha requerido 3 o más intentos de reparación, o si el vehículo ha estado fuera de servicio por 30 días o más durante el período de garantía. Los fallos del motor VC-Turbo del QX50, los problemas de transmisión CVT del QX60 y los defectos del sistema de dirección Direct Adaptive Steering del Q50 y Q60 son problemas documentados que frecuentemente califican.

¿Cuánto cuesta contratar un abogado de lemon law para Infiniti?

Nada por adelantado. Easy Lemon Law trabaja en base a honorarios contingentes — solo cobramos si ganamos su caso. En la mayoría de los estados, Infiniti está obligado a pagar los honorarios de su abogado, por lo que nuestra representación generalmente no tiene costo para usted.

The 60-second answer

If your QX60 CVT transmission jerks or fails, your Q50 engine stalls, your QX80 air suspension drops, or your infotainment system crashes, you likely qualify for a buyback, replacement, or cash settlement under your state's lemon law and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. §§2301–2312). The most common qualifying Infiniti issues we handle: QX60 CVT transmission, Q50 engine stalling, QX80 air suspension, infotainment system.

Under both statutes, the manufacturer pays the consumer's attorney fees when the consumer prevails — meaning $0 cost to you. Easy Lemon represents Infiniti owners nationwide. Check open recalls for your VIN at NHTSA Recall Lookup.

IS YOUR INFINITI A LEMON?

When Does Your Infiniti Qualify as a Lemon?

Infiniti markets its vehicles as the pinnacle of Japanese luxury — but that premium positioning conceals a troubling pattern of serious defects that have left thousands of owners stranded. The QX50's VC-Turbo variable compression engine — the world's first of its kind — has proven prone to catastrophic engine failure, excessive oil consumption, and timing chain failures that Infiniti cannot permanently resolve.

If your Infiniti has required multiple shop visits for the same problem without a lasting fix, lemon law may compel Infiniti to buy back your vehicle, replace it, or compensate you in cash. At Easy Lemon Law, we've represented Infiniti owners nationwide and know exactly how Nissan/Infiniti handles these claims — and how to beat them.

Zero upfront cost. We only get paid when you win.

WARNING SIGNS

Signs Your Infiniti May Be a Lemon

Check engine light with power loss on QX50 — if your 2019–2022 QX50 with the VC-Turbo variable compression engine experiences sudden power loss, engine surging, or service warnings, it may indicate catastrophic engine or timing chain failure that Infiniti cannot permanently resolve.

QX60 CVT transmission shudder or hesitation — shaking, harsh jerking, or power loss when accelerating in a 2013–2021 QX60 with the CVT, especially from a stop or at low speeds, is a known symptom of Jatco CVT failure that has stranded numerous owners.

Q50/Q60 Direct Adaptive Steering disconnection — the steer-by-wire Direct Adaptive Steering (DAS) in the Q50 and Q60 can abruptly disconnect, causing the wheel to lose all road feel. These intermittent failures pose a serious safety risk and are notoriously difficult for dealers to reproduce and repair.

InTouch infotainment black screen or system freeze — the Infiniti InTouch central screen goes black, repeatedly freezes, or loses critical functions like the backup camera and navigation. Dealer software updates provide only temporary relief for a persistent hardware-level failure.

DOCUMENTED DEFECTS

Most Common Infiniti Lemon Law Defects

QX50 VC-Turbo Variable Compression Engine Failure

The 2019–2022 QX50's world-first 2.0L VC-Turbo variable compression engine is prone to timing chain failure, excessive oil consumption, and complete loss of power. Owners report sudden engine failure even with up-to-date maintenance. Infiniti issued multiple TSBs but a permanent resolution remains elusive.

QX50 2019–2022

QX60 CVT Transmission Failure

The 2013–2021 QX60's Jatco CVT is prone to shudder, overheating, and complete failure. Symptoms include violent shaking when accelerating from a stop, squealing at low speeds, and sudden loss of drive. Infiniti extended the CVT warranty on some model years, but hardware failures continue to recur.

QX60 2013–2021

Direct Adaptive Steering (DAS) System Failure

The steer-by-wire DAS in the Q50 and Q60 can disconnect without warning, eliminating all steering feedback. Failures occur intermittently and dealers rarely reproduce them on demand. When the system disengages at highway speeds, the safety risk is immediate and severe.

Q50 · Q60

VQ35HR / VQ37VHR Excessive Oil Consumption

The 3.5L VQ35HR and 3.7L VQ37VHR engines in the Q50, Q60, and QX70 consume abnormal amounts of oil between regular changes — often more than a quart per 1,000 miles. Hidden piston ring damage can cause catastrophic engine failure if owners don't detect the issue in time.

Q50 · Q60 · QX70

InTouch Infotainment System Failures

The InTouch dual-screen system across the QX50, QX60, and Q50 goes black, spontaneously reboots, or permanently loses critical functions. Failures affect the backup camera, GPS navigation, and mobile connectivity. Dealer software updates provide only temporary relief for what is ultimately a hardware failure.

QX50 · QX60 · Q50

QX80 7-Speed Automatic Transmission Harsh Shifts

The QX80's 7-speed automatic produces harsh gear changes, acceleration hesitation, and shudder at highway speeds. Owners report the vehicle hunting between gears repeatedly on the highway. Infiniti issued transmission control module reprogramming updates without resolving the underlying hardware issue.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions — Infiniti Lemon Law

Does my Infiniti qualify under lemon law?

Most states require 3–4 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30+ days out of service within the warranty period. Infiniti QX50 VC-Turbo engine failures, QX60 CVT transmission problems, and Q50 Direct Adaptive Steering defects are all documented issues that commonly qualify. Call us for a free case review.

What are the most common Infiniti lemon law defects?

The most frequent Infiniti lemon law claims involve the QX50 VC-Turbo variable compression engine stalling and oil consumption, QX60 CVT transmission shudder and overheating, Q50 and Q60 Direct Adaptive Steering (DAS) disconnection, excessive oil consumption in VQ35HR and VQ37VHR engines, and InTouch infotainment failures across multiple models.

How much does an Infiniti lemon law lawyer cost?

Nothing upfront. Easy Lemon Law works on a contingency fee basis — we only get paid if we win your case. Under most state lemon laws, Infiniti is required to pay your attorney fees, so our representation is typically at no cost to you.

What compensation can I get from an Infiniti lemon law claim?

Depending on your state and case, you may be entitled to a full vehicle repurchase (buyback), a replacement vehicle, a cash settlement, reimbursement for rental cars and out-of-pocket repair costs, and attorney fees paid by Infiniti.

How long do I have to file an Infiniti lemon law claim?

Most states require you to file within the manufacturer warranty period or within 18–24 months of purchase. Some states have longer windows. Do not wait — defects and repair records are time-sensitive. Contact us as soon as you notice a recurring issue.

Does lemon law cover used Infiniti vehicles?

It depends on the state. Some states like California protect used vehicles purchased with a warranty. If you bought a certified pre-owned Infiniti or one with a remaining manufacturer warranty, you may qualify. Contact us for a free evaluation.

What should I do while waiting on my Infiniti lemon law claim?

Keep taking your Infiniti to an authorized dealer for repairs — not independent shops. Retain all repair orders and documentation. Do not accept any compensation offer from Infiniti without consulting our attorneys first.
