1 Vehicle Shudder problem of the 2015 Infiniti QX60

Failure Date: 04/22/2021

Vehicle has 73,000 miles. When driving and accelerating, the vehicle begins to shake, jerk and vibrate violently. This happens at both local and highway speeds. The frequency in which this occurs has increased significantly over the past week. The vehicle was taken to the Nissan dealership. The dealership states that this is a "premature transmission failure" and is recommending a full replacement of the transmission at the customers expense. Nissan/Infiniti is well aware of this issue, but is apparently taking no ownership in helping customers with resolving this premature transmission failure. The bulletin that the manufacture has issued needs to be escalated to a recall. An investigation into this matter is overdue as numerous customers have experienced this transmission failure.

2 Vehicle Shudder problem of the 2014 Infiniti QX60

Failure Date: 02/21/2021

I noticed a shaking when car was riding at 15-25 mph and would go away once I reached a higher speed. Took to mechanic for oil change and asked to check. I was told to take to dealership based on code they were getting. Took car to dealership and was told it was a part of transmission that was under warranty. They ordered part and when went to do work another code appeared and I was told they were replacing the entire transmission. Then I was told the electronic rear coupling was also replaced. All work under warranty. On the way home from dealership after repairs complete the car completely died on me. Shut down on major road- dead- not even emergency flashers would work. Had are immediately towed back to dealership. I was called the next days to say it was the battery. I didn't believe that was the problem as the battery was only 2 years old. After a charge the car was drivable. I picked up and dropped off at my mechanic. They tested everything- battery completely fine and they couldn't find anything wrong. Car was fine when they drove. Picked up 2 days ago and had the problem again today. The car shuts down when going from breaks to gas and from parked to gas. I just get a malfunction alert. When car left off for sometime it �recharges� and then is okay.

Failure Date: 09/01/2019

Transmissions feels like it is �slipping� when driving slow around 20-25 mph/1000-1500 rpms. Makes car shudder/shake like it's running out of gas. Took to Infiniti delearship - they could not replicate the issue and get a code. Was told this was just how the cvt transmission feels. Reprogrammed transmission - car still does it. Getting worse. Around 58k miles on car.

9 Vehicle Shudder problem of the 2014 Infiniti QX60

Failure Date: 11/05/2018

When accelerating the vehicle begins to shudder and it does not accelerate in a timely fashion. While driving on the street or highway the car does not gain rpms and begins to what best can be described as coughing and shaking. Changing gears from drive to neutral or reverse also takes the vehicle time to make the change.

10 Vehicle Shudder problem of the 2014 Infiniti QX60

Failure Date: 12/01/2017

Same issue many others noted, which is the transmission jerking at low speed and over-revving/jolting on acceleration from a stop. When trying to coast at low speed in traffic the car shudders so badly I have to just stop. Seems especially pronounced as the vehicle transitions from e-drive to the gas engine. We bought the car used, and this has been happening for a long time.

11 Vehicle Shudder problem of the 2014 Infiniti QX60

Failure Date: 06/02/2014

We have had two issues with our 2014 Qx60. The first issue was a shudder problem where the vehicle would shake/hesitate/felt like it was going to stall at lower speeds, around corners, etc. After several attempts the dealership advised it was a transmission issue and the entire transmission was replaced. The second issue came about after the transmission was replaced and has yet to be fixed. The accelerator will intermittently not work. This happens either from a stop ? I go to hit the gas and either nothing happens or the car lurches forward and stops. I will press on the accelerator again and it will work. The other time is when you are driving and go to increase your speed ? you press on the gas and the rpm?s go down and nothing happens. I press on the gas again and nothing happens. I try again and it will kick in. The dealership had our car for 6 weeks for the second issue and cannot replicate it so therefore they won?t do anything for us. We are now going through an arbitration program requesting a replacement of our vehicle as it seems to meet lemon law. We have an unsafe unpredictable vehicle that we spent a lot of money on. We are very unhappy with infinity corporate as they offered us $1,000 to go away. This is not about money but about safety issues. Infinity corporate also stated that the number of times our vehicle has been seen for the problem is not unreasonable. I beg to differ as having our vehicle gone for a full 6 weeks (and this does not count all the other times it has been to the dealer for the other issue) is very unreasonable. We were told we had to pick up our vehicle after 6 weeks. Two weeks later we had the issue happen twice to us so we called the dealership and they were hesitant to accept the vehicle to their repair department. They did accept it finally but unsure what they are even doing with the vehicle at this point.

12 Vehicle Shudder problem of the 2014 Infiniti QX60

Failure Date: 05/20/2014

I bought this SUV in may 2014. About two weeks after my wife and I both noticed that the vehicle shudders at 20 mph when you apply gas. It started getting worse and we called the dealer who scheduled a review. They eventually installed a new transmission. We are about 4 weeks after this repair and are noticing the same issue again. There were also about four incidents where I would shift from park to drive and the transmission would not change into gear for over 10 seconds. . . . . As though it was low on fluid or had a line blockage. I also noticed that when I'm driving at highway speed it and accelerate, sometimes it felt like the transmission was excessively downshifting. I see that this has also been a problem on the jx35 which is the same SUV as the Qx60.
