5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2014 INFINITI Q70 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving the driveshaft, which can fatigue and break, causing sudden loss of drive power or allowing the vehicle to roll away when parked without the parking brake applied.
Two recalls affect hybrid models only. The engine control module on hybrid trims can cause the throttle to rise on its own without any input from the driver, gradually increasing vehicle speed. A separate hybrid-specific software error can cause the electric motor to cut out while the car is running on electric power alone, producing a sudden stall-like loss of momentum.
