2014 QX 60 INFINITY, PRESENTED PROBLEMS WITH BADLY JERKING, UGLY SCRAPPING NOISE, NOW TRANSMISIN LEAKS , BURNING SMELL WHILE DRIVING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 INFINITI QX60 HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD WITHOUT WARNING WHEN SHIFTING INTO FIRST GEAR. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE CONTACT NOTICED GREEN ANTIFREEZE LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SANFORD INFINITI (995 RINEHART RD, SANFORD, FL 32771, (407) 710-2224) FOR A ROUTINE INSPECTION AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR CORE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 53,000.

BRAKES SHIMMY-NEW (ADDED 2 MONTHS AGO) ENGINE SHUTTERS AND SHAKES WHEN TURNING AND DRIVING WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR ENGINE SPUTTERS WHEN TURNING THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT WILL GO OFF THE ROAD ITS SHAKING SO BADLY

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY MY SUNROOF SHATTERED. IT SOUNDED AS IF SOMEONE HIT MY GLASS WITH A BAT. IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT AND THERE WERE NO TRUCKS OR OTHER CARS AROUND ME. THERE ARE NO OTHER SCRATCHES OR DENTS ON THE ROOF OF MY CAR AND NO ROCKS WERE FOUND IN THE SHADE WITH THE GLASS. THANKFUL THAT I HAD THE SHADE CLOSED BECAUSE OTHER WISE I WOULD'VE BEEN COVERED IN GLASS AND POSSIBLY CUT. THIS HAS TO BE A RECALL, A SAFETY RECALL AT THAT.

RUBBER GROMMET THAT HOLDS THE GAS FILLER NECK IN PLACE DAMAGED. FILLER NECK BENT. REPLACING COST PER THE DEALER IS $1516.70, NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. NO DAMAGE SEEN ON THE VEHICLE. INFINITI TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE FURTHER. THIS MIGHT BE A SAFETY CONCERN, AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. INFINITI TO CHECK THE ROOT CAUSE FOR THIS ISSUE OF DAMAGED GROMMET GAS FILLER NECK.

ABS BRAKE ACTUATOR- WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL CONTINUE TO DEPRESS. WHEN THE BREAK IS RELEASED A CHIRPING SOUND IS MADE. THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE ON THE 2017 MODEL. THE DEALER AND SEVERAL CHAT GROUPS ONLINE ALL POINT TO THIS BEING A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE MODEL. THERE IS A 2017 RECALL FOR THIS PART. THE RECALL SAYS IT IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. I BELIEVES THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED. THE ABS BRAKE ACTUATOR SHOULD NOT FAIL ON A VEHICLE WITH 77,000 MILES. I HAD THE CAR AT THE DEALER FOR THE ISSUE PREVIOUSLY AND THEY "COULD NOT FIND" THE ISSUE. A THIRD TRIP AND THE ISSUE IS FOUND.

CONSTANTLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION SLIPS WITH HARD ACCELERATION AND SLIPS SEVERELY IN REVERSE. THIS HAPPENS ANY TIME UNDER QUICK.ACCELERATION WHETHER ON STREETS OR HIGHWAYS. IN REVERSE IT HAPPENS ALWAYS.

MY CAR IS A 2014 QX60 HYBRID. INFINITY WAS SUED AND SETTLED ON WITHOUT CAR REPLACEMENT. MY CAR HAS THE SAME SHUDDERING PROBLEM THAT WAS THE BASIS FOR THE LAWSUIT. CVT TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED TWICE UNDER MY 70K WARRANTY. MY CVT TRANSMISSION HAS BEGUN TO SUFFER THE SAME "JUDDERING" PROBLEM WHICH AS AFFECTED SO MANY OF THE QX60 MODELS, BOTH HYBRID AND GAS. I TOOK IT AFTER WARRANTY MANY TIMES TO DEALER AND THEY CAN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR EVERY SINGLE MINIMUM STEP EVEN CAR WASH. I HAVE SO MUCH PAPERWORK OF THIS AND MANY OTHERS ISSUES WITH THIS CAR THAT WOULD TAKE FOR EVER TO UPLOAD.

CVT RECALL. MY CAR IS A QX60 HYBRID. INFINITY WAS SUED AND SETTLED ON REPLACEMENTS FOR ONLY THE QX60 GAS MODEL. MY CAR HAS THE SAME SHUDDERING PROBLEM THAT WAS THE BASIS FOR THE LAWSUIT; BUT FOR SOME REASON THE LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT DID NOT INCLUDE THE HYBRID MODELS. MY CVT TRANSMISSION HAS BEGUN TO SUFFER THE SAME "JUDDERING" PROBLEM WHICH AS AFFECTED SO MANY OF THE QX60 MODELS, BOTH HYBRID AND GAS.

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN AUGUST 2018, WITH ABOUT 50K MILES. BROUGHT THE CAR INTO INFINITI OF WILLIAMSVILLE, NY COMPLAINING OF A PROBLEM NOTICED WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND HYBRID SYSTEM. THE SERVICE DEPT. CLEARED A CODE FROM SOME COMPUTER AND TOLD ME TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AGAIN, COMPLAINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS REVVING UP AND DOWN A COUPLE OF 1000 RPM? THIS TIME THE SERVICE DEPT. PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE, AND AGAIN TOLD ME TO REPORT ANY PROBLEMS. FINALLY AT 64724 MILES THE TRANSMISSION FAILED ALL TOGETHER. THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T ACCELERATE, AS THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING IN AND OUT OF GEAR. THE HYBRID SYSTEM TRIED TO KEEP CAR GOING, BUT IT THREW OUT AN OVER-HEATING MESSAGE. WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A PARKING LOT AWAY FROM OTHER TRAFFIC. THE NEXT DAY I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHERE AFTER 10 DAYS OF SERVICE, THE DEALERSHIP AGREED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION UNDER THE 70K MILES POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. A TOTAL OF 24 DAYS TO REPLACE A PROBLEM THAT NO DOUBT THEY KNEW ABOUT FROM THE ONSET WAS A MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE NEW TRANSMISSION HAD 12 MONTHS, OR 12K MILES WARRANTY, BUT HAVEN'T RECEIVED THAT IN WRITING FROM THE DEALER SHIP.
