2016 Infiniti Qx70: what breaks, and at what mileage
What breaks on the 2016 Infiniti Qx70
Only 2 defect reports have been filed with NHTSA about the 2016 Infiniti Qx70, which is too few to compute mileage percentiles or a risk score. The reports reported seat belt or retractor failure.
When each failure gets reported
Tick median reported mileage Solid middle half of reports Faint 10th to 90th percentile Colour how bad the failure is when it happens
How reports accumulate
Every report with an odometer reading, cumulative, from 0 to 200,000 miles. A curve that climbs early is a car with early problems, whatever its total.

Every reported failure mode
| Failure mode | System | Reports | With reading | 25th | Median | 75th | Per 1,000 | Typical repair | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seat belt or retractor failure | airbag | 2 | 2 | — | 1k | — | 0.2 | $200–$900 | High |
This year had no usable recall paperwork, so the fleet-size estimate is the median of other years of the same model. Repair costs are typical independent-shop ranges for the failure, not figures from these reports.
What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The odometer reading is the one the owner gave.
Seat belt or retractor failure
Tl* the contact owned a 2016 infiniti qx70. While driving approximately 35 MPH, a vehicle ran a stop sign and caused the contact to crash head on into another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained headaches, injuries to the sternum, and bruising aligned with the seat belt. Medical attention was not received. The vehicle was towed to a salvage yard and was declared destroyed by the insurance investigator. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000.

Every year of the Infiniti Qx70
Scores compare each year against other cars of the same model year, so a low number on an older car is a real result and not an artefact of age.
What the reports on file say
The complaints recorded against the 2016 Infiniti Qx70 are seat belt or retractor failure (2 reports, around 1k miles). With a sample this size these are anecdotes rather than a pattern, and they are shown because somebody looking at this exact car would rather see them than nothing.
Why this page is short
A model year needs about 8 reports before percentiles mean anything, and this one does not have them. Complaint volume tracks how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road, so a thin page usually means a rare car, a new car, or a car whose owners do not file.
Where this comes from. Every figure above is computed from NHTSA owner complaints and recall records for this exact make, model and year. Complaints are voluntary and self-selected, so treat counts as a floor. The methodology page writes out each formula, and the same numbers are available as JSON.
