About Infiniti
Infiniti is Nissan's luxury brand. While Infiniti offers strong performance and style, it inherits some of Nissan's reliability concerns — particularly around CVT transmissions in some models and the brand's overall decline in quality rankings.
Infiniti vehicles depreciate faster than Lexus and Acura, creating attractive used pricing. However, repair costs for Infiniti are moderate-to-high, and the CVT issue in non-V6 models is a concern.

Known Infiniti Problems to Watch For
Some Infiniti CVT-equipped models share Nissan's CVT reliability concerns. Check NHTSA complaint history for any CVT-equipped Infiniti.
Infiniti's VQ V6 engines (3.5L, 3.7L) are highly reliable but can develop valve cover gasket leaks at higher mileages.
Some Infiniti V6 and V8 engines have timing chain guides that wear prematurely — similar to the Nissan VQ35DE issue.

Frequently Asked Questions — Infiniti VIN Check
Infiniti V6-powered models (Q50, Q60, QX80) are generally reliable and comparable to Lexus in ownership costs. CVT-equipped models (QX50, QX60 in some years) should be checked for CVT complaint history before purchase.
