2019 Infiniti Q70 Safety Report

The 2019 INFINITI Q70 presents a relatively clean safety record based on the limited NHTSA data available. With only 2 total complaints, 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 deaths reported, the vehicle appears to have a low incidence of severe safety-related issues. However, the low complaint count might also reflect lower sales volume or reporting rates rather than absolute safety. The primary complaint pattern revolves around acceleration hesitation, specifically noted in the morning or when attempting to pass, which could pose a safety risk by unexpectedly reducing vehicle speed in traffic. Both complaints reference the 'POWER TRAIN' and 'ENGINE' components, indicating a potential design or operational characteristic that users find problematic. Recall history for the 2019 Q70 includes two significant issues. One recall (NHTSA ID: 19V654000) addresses a potential driveshaft issue in two-wheel drive models, where a broken driveshaft could lead to a loss of drive power or a vehicle roll away. This is a high-severity issue with direct implications for vehicle control and crash risk. The second recall (NHTSA ID: 19V655000) concerns the back-up camera display, where a lack of an image increases the risk of a crash during reversing maneuvers. Both recalls are critical and should be verified as completed for any prospective purchase. NHTSA crash test ratings for the 2019 INFINITI Q70 show a 4-star rating for Frontal crash protection and a 4-star rating for Rollover resistance. The Overall and Side crash ratings are not available ('N/A'). While the available ratings are good, the absence of an overall rating and side impact data limits a comprehensive assessment of its crashworthiness. The combination of low complaint volume, but specific acceleration concerns, and two important recalls, suggests a vehicle with some known areas for attention, despite generally positive crash test performance in the evaluated categories.

Our recommendation: Given the low complaint volume but critical recalls and reported acceleration issues, verify all recalls are completed and thoroughly test drive the vehicle for any hesitation before purchasing.
