2019 INFINITI QX50 Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

I been leasing InfinitiI for the past 12 years been through almost every model that they have was super excited about the new SUV QX50. But boy was I let down this car has been in the shop 4 times since I got it. It sounds and it drives like an old car The performance doesn’t stands to Infiniti quality.

My 2019 QX50 has several electrical problems with the AC, releasing the parking brake & the rear gate. Restarting seems to resolve the problem when it occurs, The constant dropping of the Bluetooth connection to my iphone is very frustrating.

I would not recommend Infiniti. Too many on going electrical related issues. Service departments don't seem to be able to resolve these problems. So far issues are minor and not safety related.

Drives nicely once you are moving. Especially on side roads. Can be very smooth. Can be loud over 60 mph on highways through. Not as much room as it says when you buy it. Back seat can be cramped with a tall driver. And using a car seat causes the passenger front seat to have to move up and not be able to recline.

It has been back to dealer several times for various electrical problems. Battery goes dead for no obvious reason. Air conditioning stops working. Issues with parking brake not releasing. Problems with GPS and radio. Bluetooth stops connecting. Has had software updated at dealers but problems continue.

I am starting with the navigation because it is nothing but a problem. If you use the hands free phone while using navigation the navigation doesn’t come back. The audio can freeze. I just had it “repaired “ and now I can’t sync my phone. I am so disappointed and angry. I would not recommend this car. If the audio and navigation worked then I would recommend it. The people at the dealership, while extremely kind, were unable to help

I have always been a Nissan Fan and wanted something different. So, I tried Infinity and it was a big mistake. I leased a 2019, Infinity QX50 Essential, with every option possible. The one thing that I didn't immediately like, was the poor stopping power. It felt like the Break Pads were made of Ice and required me to aggressively apply the Breaks in order to stop. In less than three months into ownership, the Safety Equipment, HVAC, Audio, Trunk lid, Acceleration, Shifting and Navi started malfunctioning. Every time the QX50 started malfunctioning, I would record the problem using my Cell Phone. The Vehicle was taken back to the Dealership at 5 different times, during the first two years to be fixed. With each visit, I would tell the Service Advisor what the problems were at that time. I would also give the Service Advisor the opportunity to watch several Videos, showing exactly what the QX50 was doing. Most every time, the Service Advisor declined to watch the Videos. The DCU Part has been changed 5 times and the problems still exist and not as frequent. For example: I would be driving at 40 MPH down the Road, during a Sunny / 85 degree day and another Vehicle is behind me about 60'. Suddenly, my Heads Up Display would show a front end collision and would automatically and quickly apply the Breaks. Nothing was in front of me, that would cause this to happen and the Driver behind me had to slam on their Breaks to avoid hitting me. Five Service Appointments, nothing resolved and I had to get a Lawyer to Lemon Law this Vehicle. Because Infinity was "Slow stepping" the Legal Process and almost eight months later, Infinity decided to settle and accept the Lemon Law.

Sometimes the parking sensors go off randomly when I am not near anything. It also does not drive great on the freeway. Kind of hard to hold it in one spot and it sways back and forth. I also feel like it is not geared very well for speeds about 60 mph. I do really like the bird eye view cameras. It make parking very easy and do not have to worry about something around your car you didn't see. The inside is comfortable and I like the sleek signature daytime running lights. It is an SUV/crossover but it looks sporty.
