The fine print: this verdict is computed from public NHTSA complaint and recall records for the 2022 Infiniti QX50 as a model, not for any individual car. A well-maintained example of an “Avoid” can outlast a neglected “Buy”. Informational only, so always get a professional pre-purchase inspection.
