2014 INFINITI QX60 Complaints

THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ON MY 4 YEAR OLD VEHICLE COST FROM INFINITY TO REPAIR $6500 . I OPENED A CASE WITH INFINITY CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY DENIED IT. I FOUND A WARRANTY THAT WAS EXTENDED TO 94,000 DUE TO THIS SAME ISSUE. I WAS 400 MILES OVER AND THEY DENIED ME. THE CAR'S ENGINE REVS VERY HIGH AND IS VERY LOUD, NOT NORMAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 INFINITI QX60. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE AND SHOOK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (INFINITI OF NAPERVILLE, 1550 WEST OGDEN AVENUE, NAPERVILLE, IL 60540, 630-241-3000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD BE RETURNED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 84,000.

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.

THE TRANSMISSION HAS AN ISSUE WHERE THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND JERKS VERY HARD WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING IT. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT ON THE ROAD.

SUN VISOR IS BROKEN AND HANGS DOWN IN THE SIGHT LINE OF THE DRIVER. THE CAR IS A 2014 INFINITY QX 60 AND BOTH VISORS ARE BROKEN. COST IS OVER $400 TO FIX THE FAULTY PARTS PLUS LABOR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND A FAULTY PART THAT IS A RIP OFF FOR $400 TO FIX. CONTACTED INFINITY CORPORATE TO SEE ABOUT REPLACING THE FAULTY PARTS AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANY OF THE COST. TREATING IT AS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE VEHICLE IS 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS 64K MILES.

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AND HEARD A LOUD BANG, LIKE A GUNSHOT OVERHEAD AND GLASS FELL INTO THE CABIN ON MYSELF, WIFE AND TWO KIDS. THE SUNROOF ON OUR 2014 INFINITY QX60 WAS CLOSED, BUT HAD EXPLODED INTO THOUSANDS OF PIECES. I OBSERVED NO ROAD DEBRIS OR FALLING METEORS THAT COULD HAVE STRUCK THE SUNROOF AND CAUSED IT TO EXPLODE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, IT APPEARS THAT SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODING SUNROOFS ARE AN INCREASING PROBLEM THAT MANUFACTURERS AND DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE, WHICH IS ALSO OUR EXPERIENCE AS WE WERE FORCED TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE SUNROOF.

HI, WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY SUDDENLY THE TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING WEIRD. SOMETIMES SUDDEN ACCELERATION WITHOUT GIVING GAS, SOMETIMES SLOWDOWN TO BELOW 40MPH. I CAUTIOUSLY AVOID COUPLE OF CLOSE ACCIDENTS. I DROVE SLOW WITH MY BLINKERS ON TO REACH HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING TO CHECK THIS OUT. HOPEFULLY THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY.

THE CAR SHUDDER WHEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR. I WAS TOLD BY THE INFINITI REPAIRMAN THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION. CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND: THE VEHICLES INFINITI QX60 2014 ARE EQUIPPED WITH CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSIONS KNOWN AS THE JATCO CVT8HT THAT WERE ALLEGEDLY DEFECTIVE BEFORE THEY WERE EVEN INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLES. NEVER GOT A PHONE CALL FROM INIFINITI FOR INSPECTION THE POSSIBLE PROBLEM.

ON A RECENT TRIP TO SAN ANTONIO, TX HILL COUNTRY ON A VERY HOT DAY, THE HYBRID SYSTEM OVER-HEATED ON A SLOW SPEED CLIMB TO A STEEP HILL. ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION SHUTTER AND STOPPED POWERING THE WHEELS. THE VEHICLE START TO ROLL BACK ON TO CARS COMING BEHIND. I HAD TO PRESS EMERGENCY BRAKE AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE FOR 10 MINUTES. ON START THE HYBRID WARNING SIGN WAS STILL ON. HOWEVER THE POWERR TO WHEEL WERE BACK WITH CAR STILL SHUTTERING. FROM THEN ONWARDS HAD TO START AND STOP THE ENGINE UNTIL REACHING THE TOP OF THE HILL. ON REACHING TOP, HAD TO STOP AND PARK THE CAR FOR 2 HRS. START THE CAR AGAIN, STILL THE HYBRID WARNING SIGN ON. THEN DROVE DOWN THE HILL AVOIDING ANY MORE UP HILLS A INTO COSTCO PARKING AND LEFT THE CAR PARKED FOR 3 HRS. AFTER THAT, START THE CAR AND THE HYBRID WARNING SIGN WENT OFF. DROVE BACK TO HOUSTON AND SHOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC CODE SHOWS HYBRID MOTOR INVERTER CONTROLLER FAILED. ALSO NOTICE THE PART OF THIRD ROW SEAT BURNT WHERE THE HYBRID BATTERY IS STORED. HOWEVER THE DEALER MENTIONS THEY BATTERY IS FINE. NOW WE ARE SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR ON VERY HOT DAYS TO ANY STEEP HILL. FAILURE OF POWER TO WHEELS WAS PRETTY SCARY. WITH BRUNT MARK ON THE THIRD ROW SEAT MAKES THIS CAR EVEN MORE SCARIER SINCE THIS CAR IS ONLY USED BY MY WIFE AND KIDS. THINKING OF ANYTHING HAPPENING TO THEM BECAUSE OF FIRE OR POWER FAILURE MAKES THIS CAR REALLY UNRELIABLE. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT HAPPENS VERY WINTER IS LOUD KNOCKING DURING EXTREME COLD (32 BELOW) DAYS. WE LIVE IN SUGAR LAND (HOUSTON) TX. VERY SELDOM WE GET VERY COLD DAYS. HOWEVER WHENEVER WE DO, THERE IS EXTREMELY LOUD KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AS PER DEALER THIS IS NORMAL WITH INFINITI QX60 HYBRID. I SPENT CLOSE TO $67K FOR THIS CAR. I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH PERFORMANCE OF THIS CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 INFINITI QX60. WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE.

THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAN HARNESS HAD BEEN REPLACED FOUR MONTHS PRIOR TO THE FIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,200. *DT
