Hi! New here and glad i found it..We’re considering buying a used 2017 infiniti qx30 with 40,000 kms in mileage and it has the tech package.. just want some advice if it’s a good idea. Want some advice from an owners point of view. Just worried if it needs repairs after a year and since it was discontinued will the repair be super expensive because of it being rare? Thoughts?
Hi!, well, I bought a 2018, used, from the Infiniti car dealer, before I bought it when I did the test drive, the salesman said that the car have a problem with the 360º cameras, it was not the cameras itself but a "module", a chip or something like that, he said that the car will have 3 more years of warranty and that the cameras problem will be solved as part of it. AFTER I bought it when they was delivering me the car the mechanical service guy told me that "there was a problem with the auxiliary battery" but that it is not a problem and they will replace it in a few weeks and there should be no problem after that. I thought that I've alredy bought it and I hope for the best. 2 weeks ago the car started displaying a message "Auxiliary battery malfunction" (the message was in spanish, I don't know what the exact same message in english) and after some days I saw another more concerning message "Stop the car immediatly [..]" and an icon of a battery, the message was in red so I got scared, good thing I was very close to my home. Next morning I drove to the car dealer to tell them about that scaring message and they received the car, the guy told me that the battery was already sent from the factory and they should receive it before the weekend, after some hours the service guy called me and told me that they just received the battery and the will replace it so they needed to retain the car for another day, I said well, OK as long as it get fixed for good. Next day, at the end of the day the guy called me and told me that they replaced the battery and the message was still showing so they had to do some heavy troubleshooting and finally found that there was a problem with some electronic relays (relevadores) but he had a "friend" in the Mercedes dealer and that Infinitu will bought the relays there if they have it in stock, fortunately it was in stock and they changed the relays, I picked the car up the next day, it was all OK, I was happy and all but then 3 days ago I was driving when the ****1ng "auxiliary battery malfunction" message displayed again oh that pissed me off, a lot. Yesterday I left the car again on the car dealer and told the guy that the message is still showing, the car is still there and now I don't know what to do, for me it was the most expensive car I have bought in my life, it is true that they sold me the car at a very good price, they made me a dicount of nearly 2,500 usd, that's a good discount but I didn't imagine that I'll have so many problems with the car.
TLDR
I'm not sure if it is only my bad luck but I feel that the QX30 is a very complex car, it has so many sensors and tech stuff and it make it more prone to failures, I'm also worried because the battery (part #
244105DA1A) is discontinued. It is a good car, I mean, I love it because it has so many features and it is fancy and all, but right now I'm not sure if I trust in Infiniti cars, my last car was a Mazda 3 and I NEVER had a problem with it, never.
