At a glance
- Next to other model years
- Complaints filed before 2015 aren't in the files this site reads, so the 2014 count runs short and isn't compared with the model years next to it.
- Top problem
- Transmission shudder leads with 49 of the 188 complaints (26%), ahead of stalling at 20. A quarter of the 31 owners who gave a mileage for transmission shudder saw it by about 74,000 miles, and half by about 90,000.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- Only 5 of the 188 complaints (3%) report a crash, a fire or an injury, well under the 6% typical of vehicles on this site. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 2 reports mention a crash, 2 mention a fire and 1 person was hurt.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- No recall on file is on the same system as transmission shudder. For those, the complaints are all there is.
- When owners filed
- Filings peaked in 2021 at 28 and have dropped every year since, to 8 in 2025. So far in 2026, 6 more have come in. Filings on record start in 2015.

How this compares
188 complaints is 1.6 times fewer than the median 2014 model on this site and 1.9 times fewer than the median 2014 SUV. Among the 1 QX60 model years here it ranks 1st for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
