Which QX60 years have the most problems?
Complaint volume by model year. Raw NHTSA totals, not adjusted for sales volume or time on the road, so older and higher-selling years accumulate more. Every year links to its full breakdown.
Sentiment is sharply divided by model year and generation, with reliability being the dominant theme. For the first-generation models (approximately 2014-2021), sentiment is overwhelmingly negative due to widespread, severe transmission failures associated wit
CVT Transmission Failure (2014-2021 models): Complete failure, shuddering/juddering at low speeds, requiring full replacement. Linked to a class-action lawsuit and extended warranties. Frequency: very frequent.
Build Quality / Interior Rattles: Persistent rattles, especially from the panoramic roof/headliner area; loose body panels (e.g., front fender); generally poor interior assembly. Frequency: very frequent.
Electronic / Infotainment Glitches: Main screen resolution failures requiring daily reboots; 360-degree camera failures; faulty front collision prevention/emergency braking; lane-keep assist ping-ponging between lanes. Frequency: recurrent.
Engine Sludge / Oil Consumption: Severe engine sludge leading to potential engine failure, often linked to extended oil change intervals. Notably mentioned in 2019-2020 models. Frequency: recurrent.
9-Speed Automatic Transmission Problems (2022+ models): Hesitation, jerking, harsh shifts, and clunking; subject to technical service bulletins. Frequency: recurrent.
