Selling a broken or wrecked Infiniti QX30

If yours has a warning light that won't clear, crash damage or a fault not worth chasing, we buy whole non-running and junk cars. You sell the whole car as it sits, with free pickup anywhere in the US.

An Infiniti built on Mercedes parts

Wikipedia says the QX30 was built from 2016 to 2019 at Nissan's plant in Sunderland, in the United Kingdom, on the Modular Front Architecture platform, and lists the Infiniti Q30, Mercedes-Benz A-Class and GLA as related models. Every QX30 used a Mercedes-Benz M270 turbo four with a 7-speed automatic, sending power to the front or to all four wheels. EPA data lists the QX30 and QX30 AWD for 2017 to 2019.

Recalls on the 2017

The first model year has 4 of the 6 campaigns:

• 16V939. On some cars built August 11 to September 27, 2016, the passenger air bag inflator initiator may fail to ignite. Dealers replace the passenger air bag. 509 vehicles.
• 17V143. The driver-side curtain air bag inflator initiator may fail to ignite in a crash. Dealers replace the curtain air bag. 79 vehicles.
• 17V691 (also 2018). Without enough grounding on the steering parts, a static discharge can set off the driver's air bag unexpectedly. Dealers add grounding. 17,507 vehicles.
• 21V419. The bore hole for the universal joint bearing in the steering shaft may allow too much movement, which over time could let parts separate. Dealers replace the lower steering shaft. 1,959 vehicles.

Recalls on the 2018 and 2019

On some 2018s, 18V355 covers a lower seat belt anchor bolt that may have been installed wrong; only 6 vehicles. 19V654, on 2018-2019 cars, updates back-up camera software. Its 1,228,830 count covers a long list of Nissan models, so it says little about the QX30 by itself.

Complaints and recalls by model year

Complaints QX30 owners filed, per NHTSA's October 10, 2026 data. As the youngest year, the 2019 has had the shortest stretch to draw any.

The 2018's complaints lean electrical rather than air bag, 8 against 3, a different pattern from the 2017.

Repair, or sell it as it sits?

Recall work is done at a dealer by VIN, so check NHTSA's lookup before paying for any air bag or steering diagnosis. Electrical faults are harder: they can take several visits to trace. Our electrical problems guide covers when to stop. Line up any written estimate against a running QX30's price for the same year.

Selling a QX30 whole

1. Have the VIN, mileage and any warning messages ready.
2. Request an offer online or call (877) 421-6008.
3. Say whether the QX30 starts, rolls, or neither, and where it's parked. Pickup there is free anywhere in the US.
4. Leave it complete, including the wheels and the key.
5. If a loan is still open, see still owe on the loan.
