NHTSA Complaint #11715613 — 2018 INFINITI QX30

The rear subframe on my 2018 Infiniti QX30 experienced a structural failure at approximately 39,000 miles. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized Infiniti dealer, who confirmed failure of the rear subframe, a critical structural and safety component. This failure created a serious safety hazard, including risk of loss of vehicle control. The vehicle was deemed unsafe to operate. The failure occurred under normal driving conditions and without warning. A rear subframe is not a wear item and should not fail at this mileage. This appears to be a potential manufacturing or design defect affecting vehicle safety.
