Infiniti QX60 VIN Number Location
Where to find the VIN on a QX60
The QX60 carries its VIN at the base of the driver's side windshield. Door jamb sticker, B-pillar label, and a cargo area sticker near the rear floor complete the standard set. QX60 is frequently purchased for family use with accompanying roof rack and towing equipment, VIN checks sometimes surface undisclosed hitch-frame stress or cargo rack mounting damage claims on used examples.
The VIN also appears on the vehicle registration, insurance documents, and title. All locations should match. A mismatch between VIN plates is a potential indicator of a rebuilt or salvage vehicle.

What QX60 owners report across recent generations
2013–2020 (1st generation)
The 2013, sold as the JX35, and the 2014 draw the most complaints. NHTSA owners of both years most often describe the CVT shuddering, jerking or failing, and many owners of the 2013 report air bag warnings tied to the passenger seat sensor. CarComplaints lists an air bag light and a shaky steering wheel for the 2013 JX35, transmission shudder, paint defects and failed catalytic converters for 2014, transmission failure for 2015, and oil sludge for 2017. Infiniti replaced this generation for 2022. Recalls cover passenger seat sensors on 2013–2016 models, ABS software on 2013–2014 models and ABS actuators on 2017 models that may leak.

What to check before buying
Run the VIN through the NHTSA recall lookup, including the passenger seat sensor and ABS recalls. Ask for CVT service records and whether the transmission has been replaced. Check that the air bag light goes out after starting. On the drive, feel for shudder or jerks at low speed and from a stop, and check the paint for defects.
