Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant at 105,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 105,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2023 Infiniti QX55 generated four federal complaints, down from eight in the preceding 2022 model year. Both years recorded a single recall and one ongoing investigation, while total service bulletins dropped from 86 to 54. The single complaint in each of the top complaint categories — Engine, Power Train, Unknown Or Other, and Seats — was each reported once. No crash‑related or fire‑related complaints were logged for 2023, and the data does not specify a root cause for any of the issues. Consequently, the 2023 model year shows a modest improvement in reported problems and may be a reasonable choice, provided a thorough vehicle history review is conducted.
