Two problems related to transmission fluid leaking have been reported for the 2013 Infiniti JX35. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
On December 17, 2018 the car was very slow to get into gear when turning left. After picking up my son from school, we headed home and as we were driving up the hill the car would no longer go into gear to go up the hill and I put the brake on. The car would start to go backwards in drive. At that time, I turned the engine back on and off in an attempt to drive the car up and the car continued to go backwards. I then put the car into rear drive and backed the car back down into a safe parking spot. I called the tow truck and had the car towed to autonation Infiniti in tustin. I was told by the service manager francisco gutierrez that my transmission needed to be replaced and that the transmission fluid was low and burned and no longer had any transmission fluid. I did not see any oil leaks in my drive way to indicate a leak and I took my car into Infiniti autonation five time this year where a multipoint inspection was performed and I was not given any indication that the transmission fluid was low. I believe this is the same jx 35 transmission issue that has already been reported to nhsta and is also currently under a class action lawsuit: batista, et al. V.

My transmission is dead and needs a full replacement per Infiniti and I had no indicators that were identified and I was not notified by the dealer in order to repair the issue before my transmission was damaged and not repairable.
Car wouldn't move from p (parking) gear at first. When it eventually started moving, it wouldn't accelerate to more than 20 mile per hour even though it's at 5-6000 rpm and eventually the car stop moving completely even though the engine was on. Was told by the dealer that it was due to a defective transmission so brand new transmission was installed. 1500 miles(3 months) later the car stopped moving while driving on 2/11/14. Car started slipping backward in the hilly road. Leaky transmission fluid was at the site. Dealer is installing another "new" transmission while there are less 6500 miles in the car. The car has been with the dealer for more than a week now.
