general problems of the 2014 Infiniti QX60 - part 2

I have Infiniti Qx60 2014. I was driving with my family from a road trip. The vehicle started to jerk and violently shake when driving about 50 miles per hour. The vehicle almost stopped in the middle of the road. I pulled off and had to driver very slowly with hazard lights on for 40 minutes home. This is a major safety concern for this vehicle.

I bought a 2014 Infiniti Qx60 and after one week, my vehicle started to jerk after resuming from a stop sign or stop light but was just annoying at first. Later that day, the check engine light came on and I took it to auto zone to get the code which displayed "p1715 - input pulley speed signal" and secondary dtcs were p0776 (pressure solenoid b performance/stuck off. When I am driving, I cannot make it a mile without having my rpms skyrocket and my vehicle become inoperable and makes me turn my flashers on and find a place to pull over, shut off my vehicle, and restart it. This repeats over and over and over if I continue to get to the grocery store for essential needs but it is not safe to drive and will for sure cause a collision if it keeps happening. There are so many issues with this make/model and needs to be addressed for the safety of others on the road and myself/children as it is unexpected and very scary.

I bought the SUV in 2016 with low milage. As of Sep 2021 the SUV has 79,200 miles on it. Last month I noticed that it didn't seeem to be changing gears when I was driving it and it's making a whistling noise when driving it. I've taken it to two different to have it and they both say that it's the ctv transmission. To replaced the tranmisson would cost over $6000. 00. Upon researching online I saw that this seems to be ongoing problem with this SUV. We as consumers should not have to pay out of pocket for a repair that the manufactor is reaponsible for.

The contact owns a 2014 Infiniti Qx60. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle shuddered while depressing the accelerator. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle would resume normal driving once the accelerator pedal was released. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic where he was informed that the transmission was defective however, the mechanic refused to fix the vehicle. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I was driving my 2014 Infiniti Qx60 on the freeway with my son and out of nowhere the Qx60 starts shudder and jerking while driving on the freeway. After some back and forth with dealership, was told about the transmission on this model and it needs replacing at $6940 and it is a known issue, but my mileage is over 94k and outside of the Nissan warranty.

My car have a transmission issue it’s jerking,shuldder infinity should replace Qx60 we bought this car and it too much headeach every month I spent at least 2000 fixing this car we should get a refund or they should change the car for anyone that have 2014 Qx60 they shouldn’t sell this cars in a USA no more.

The car shutters when in motion and making a turn and occasionally when in reverse. I believe this is a known issue ref itb12-072d.

I bought my infinti Qx60 used a little over a year ago. I was so excited to finally have a beautiful luxury car with everything I wanted and it would be a safe and dependable car even tho it was used because it was an 'Infiniti'. All of a sudden, right after having it a year, I went to accelerate to get onto the highway abc's it bogged out on me halfway thru the pass over onto the highway. . Scared me to death. It continued to bog it several times after that. We took it to mechanic to get the diagnostic code for the issue. We called the dealer we bought it from abce connected Nissan/infinity. The problem was a 'transmission shutter' issue with the cvt transmission. We were shocked to find that my dream car had a 'rubber band' transmission. . With recalls on other years for the same transmission. I've been quoted anywhere from $6,000-9,000. 00. I feel so upset and defeated by this. The vehicle had low miles for the year. If this had been a issue with previous years and other makes and models, why was this year and model included. I am praying you can help me with this. .

I was driving on the interstate and my vehicle started acting like it wasn't changing into gears. Rpm was barely moving. I suspect it's the transmission.

Transmission issue ,break issue,electrical issue.

When the vehicle is stopped on a moderate grade hill it will not go forward when the accelerator is pushed. The motor rpms increase but no power is transmitted to the wheels. The car mush be allowed to roll backwards before the transmission engages and moves the car forward.

My vehicle shattered and violent shaking upon accelaration. Theres a cvt recall for the same models, and when I bring my car to the dealer they told me they can't replace it for free because my car is salvage. Now I can't drive because am not feeling safe and I dont want to endanger my self and the other drivers.

The contact owns a 2014 Infiniti Qx60. The contact stated that while driving at 35 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle remained on the shoulder of the roadway. The vehicle was scheduled to be towed to a dealer which was still pending. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000.

When I accelerate the transmission shutters. The transmission jumping in and out of gear . When I give it gas the car starts jerking.

While driving my car losses normal speed and stops responding to me trying to accelerate even after I hit the pedal all the way to the floor, car keeps slowly moving but doesn't pick up the speed. Sometimes its jerking on its own and do not respond to my pressure on the gas pedal. Seesm to be realated to similar issue that they have with q50 cars "engine control module (ecm) may temporarily lose a signal from one of the engine management system's throttle position sensors (tps). If this occurs, loss of power followed by sudden unintended acceleration can occur. Due to a software malfunction, the engine may suddenly lose then regain power, causing unintended acceleration.

Vehicle was in motion(highway) will juddering, refuse to change gear properly and shake or jerk like I have never seen. I was about to be hitted from the back and afraid of this car. When to the dealer, and they do like they are not aware of this issue of the powertrain. This brand or vehicle is a serious issue that need the authority voice to fix before it kill someone.

While driving the vehicle to work I started experiencing a clunking sound from under the vehicle like I had something stuck under it. The vehicle has never been off road or neglected. It seems like a very poor design aspect that shows early in ownership, shame on Infiniti for poor craftsmanship in a most vital part!!!!!!.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the rear awd electronic coupler is failing. It is available for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? if it completely fails, the car can become inoperable while driving at any time. I was also told by the dealer that the differential could damage the transmission over time. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? yes, the dealer had diagnosed this issue. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? no. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? no warning or messages. There is grinding when turning at low speeds and when driving sometimes there is a "bump" at around 40 mph. This was first diagnosed by the dealer in 2020 and again in 2022. There was a recall of the rear electronic coupler for the same year, make and model but, Infiniti says that it did not apply to my VIN. The TSB is 12-072c. My research of this issue shows that this issue common for my make, model and year. Clearly, this issue affects many more vins than, originally recalled. The recall for this issue should be expanded to include my vehicle and extended so that this very expensive repair can be made without cost to me. I purchased this car because, I wanted a safe and reliable car to transport my small children. These critical issues jeopardize the health and safety of my family every day. My car is no longer safe or reliable. Additional, in 2020, at the time that the electronic coupler failure was diagnosed, something related to the cvt was replaced because of a recall. This year, I had to have the the transmission replaced. I now wonder if that could have been related to the cvt issue. My catalytic converters also had to be replaced this year.

When starting from a standstill, the car jerks and hesitates to move. Several times I have been taking a left and as I push the gas, the car just does nothing and I'm afraid I'll be sitting in the middle of the two lane highway unable to get out of the way of oncoming traffic. As others have noted, the transmission jerks and it looks as if I'm failing miserably at driving stick shift, but the car is manual. We thought for a long time that the jerking was due to the transition from electric to gas, but as the jerking got worse we realized it was the transmission. I now cannot get rid of this car without paying $10k on the loan because of this issue. It would probably cost me the same to have the transmission replaced, but it sounds like others have paid to have the transmission repaired or replaced, but the same problems persist. I just want to be rid of this car and I will never buy a hybrid or an Infiniti again.

Vehicle jerks while accelerating and turning.

2014 qx 60 infinity, presented problems with badly jerking, ugly scrapping noise, now transmisi�n leaks , burning smell while driving.

My 2014 Infiniti Qx60 with 47000 miles is having transmission issues. While on a family reunion in the hills of southern ohio, I had two separate, really hard downshifts after cresting a hill at about 40-45 mph. Since then I have experienced 2 or 3 instances of shuttering when accelerating from red lights.

I purchased in Feb 2019. Since March my vehicle has been in/out of the shop at least 6 times for the following issues: shuddering while driving, hesitates to accelerate especially on inclines and reverse (I could be sitting on a tiny incline and when I attempt to press the gas, the vehicle doesn't respond, and then would eventually jerk and drive after it catches the gear), not properly shifting gears while driving (almost had an accident due to this driving up an on-ramp on the freeway, the vehicle wouldn't accelerate fast enough for me to merge), and makes loud sounds randomly. I've taken it to my local infinite dealer numerous times and they don't see a problem when they test it. So I then drove with a tech and duplicated the problem. But they continue to deny repairs because my vehicle isn't registering any codes while testing the transmission, even after the problem was duplicated. They have kept my vehicle weeks at a time (they have it right now) doing software upgrades and patching whatever. But the problem still exist today. I've only had it for 8 mos (purchased pre-owned). I even opened two cases with Infiniti consumer affairs and they even quit following up. I wish I could get rid of this vehicle. It's not safe to drive while the manufacturer is refusing to repair a "well known" issue for this vehicle. I'm well aware of the lawsuits involved but I guess it's going to take someone being hurt before they take action. What actions can I take? I have copies of all my records but they are in my vehicle at the dealership for the same problem.

Car jerks when accelerating. Have taken to Infiniti and they state it's transmission and are refusing to pay costs after several complaints of same issues have been reported.

The cvt transmission, whines super loud and slips like when your foot is down sometimes you lost power completely and wont shift right until you lift foot up and wait a while. Very dangerous if you have fast moving cars behind you and your SUV craps out and stops. I took it to the bennet allenton Infiniti while under warranty which expired 2 months ago and they told me a cvt tnasmission is always moving. I explained that I know the difference between an auto transmission and a cvt and how they work. This problem is not normal operating for a cvt tranny. So again in the middle of driving in traffic while accelerating normal, the pedal goes to the floor and the car stops accelerating, so you are slowing down drastically until you lift up foot and wait until it wants to catch or shift.

While in motion, the engine is extremely loud, almost like a race car or big truck. This continues in lower gears and at slower speeds. Around 50-60 mph, the sound smooths off. Then, when slowing down, reoccurs. Will some times stutter when taking off from a turn or on acceleration. This delay could cause an accident.

Transmission requiring frequent replacement my transmission has been replaced twice in the past year and is currently experiencing issues again. Prior to the first replacement, the engine would stutter when operating at load speeds. After the first transmission replacement, the issue manufactured in dangerous situations. For example, when merging onto a highway, the car would not accelerate past 20 mph or shift gears. I contacted Infiniti corporate to file a formal complaint and they sent a �transmission specialist� out to review the vehicle. It was determined that a security update from 2015 was not applied to the car. I'm not sure how a dealership service vehicle could be missing a 3 year old patch, but we will ignore that fact for now. Even with the security update, the car is exhibiting the same behavior. It is unfortunately not consistent though, so service hasn't been able to fix. These vehicles need to be recalled already for safety.

When driving it started jerking and bucking,also brakes not holding. I only have this vehicle two to three months.

Had several incidents involving revving of engine and vehicle not accelerating when merging or from a stop sign. I was almost involved in accident on interstate 95 when merging, Infiniti has replaced tranmission and multiple other parts but problem still not fixed. There is still a vibrating metal noise when driving the vehicle up hill at a slow speed, not actually accelerating just maintaining the speed. My vehicle only has 23000 miles on it. Infiniti is refusing to accept there is an issue says there is no safety issue. Infiniti executive office advised if it does not happen when their technician drives the car there is not issue with the vehicle even if it is recorded. Unfortunately it is a sporatic thing and unless you drive it 500 miles you might not have anything occur. I had 2 major incidents within 500 miles. Infiniti executive office also indicated that the number of repairs does not warrant a buyback or sell back option even though they have attempted to repair the vehicle 5 times, when asked how many time would warrant it they advised that they do not know my states laws. I was advised to pick up the vehicle today. Sad they are willing to put a family in danger even though this is a very known problem after searching the internet.

I experienced the third episode after a cold start and turning and entering with plenty of time into oncoming traffic on a two lane highway of 50mph from a boulevard. After turning I had no acceleration. Engine rpm was revving excessively but if felt as though transmission wasn't shifting. No power. I had to pull over due to slow speed and traffic coming up behind me. Very dangerous. After I let up on the accelerator I felt the transmission kick in. Then had power and felt upper gears engage.

The transmission is shuttering around 15-25 mph both when taking off and slowing down. This problem is getting worse.

Been having the transmission problem when try to accelerate.

When driving at low speed, on a curve, or on a hill the car will not accelerate, will stall, shudder, rattle. Will not respond to efforts of increasing speed. The front passenger airbag light will show the airbag is not engaged even if an adult is seated in the front passenger seat.
