2014 INFINITI QX60 Complaints

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.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ZERKS AND LURCHES, AND SOMETIMES FAILS TO ENGAGE WHEN STARTING FROM FULL STOP. THE SAME ISSUE OCCURS WHEN TRYING TO REVERSE. THE ISSUE IS ESPECIALLY A PROBLEM WHEN STARTING FROM A FULL STOP ON A HILL. THE BEVERLY HILLS INFINITI REPAIR GARAGE SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, YET IT IS A WELL-KNOWN ISSUE AS DESCRIBED BY SEVERAL OWNERS VIA INTERNET POSTINGS.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 INFINITI QX60. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE THIRD ROW SEATS WERE MISSING TWO SEAT BELTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH HER CHILDREN DUE TO THE MISSING SEAT BELTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO INFINITI OF GREENSBORO (3605 W WENDOVER AVE, GREENSBORO, NC 27407) WHERE IT WAS VERIFIED THAT THERE WERE NO SEAT BELTS FOR THE THIRD ROW SEATS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PARTS FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD RESEARCH THE FAILURE AND GET BACK WITH HER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN DRIVING IT STARTED JERKING AND BUCKING,ALSO BRAKES NOT HOLDING.I ONLY HAVE THIS VEHICLE TWO TO THREE MONTHS.

THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AND SHAKES THE ENTIRE CAR. ITS VERY LOUD. ITS FINE WHILE IT IS PARKED OR IN IDLE. WHEN IT GETS UP TO AROUND 40 MPH THE VIBRATIONS/SHUDDERING AND THE NOISE START TO KICK IN.IT'S SOMETIMES NOT NOTICEABLE AT LOWER SPEEDS BUT IS HARD NOT CONSISTENT. HAD THE MOTOR CHECKED TO SEE IF IT WAS THE CAUSE. TRANSMISSION CAME BACK AS THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUES.

WE PURCHASED THE CAR IN NOVEMBER 11, 2013 AND THE PROBLEMS STARTED SHORTLY THEREAFTER. WE HAVE EXTENSIVE PAPERWORK OVER THE COURSE OF 4 YEARS THAT CONFIRMS THE NUMEROUS TIMES WE'VE UNSUCCESSFULLY ATTEMPTED TO GET INFINITI TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS. AT ONE POINT, INFINITI SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE PROBLEM BY COMPLETELY CHANGING OUT THE SOFTWARE BUT THE PROBLEMS RETURNED. IN FACT, EVERY SINGLE TIME WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO INFINITI, EVEN IF IT WAS JUST FOR AN OIL CHANGE OR ROUTINE SERVICE, WE INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE CAR WASN'T FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. WE HAVE PUT ONLY 37,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND WE'VE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF IT, PERFORMED EVERY SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE, USE ONLY PREMIUM GAS, ETC. FROM ALMOST AS SOON AS WE TOOK POSSESSION, WE BEGIN EXPERIENCING SEVERE ISSUES: "HIGH REVVING WHEN IDLING "LAG/HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A DEAD STOP "HIGH REVVING WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. WE WERE TOLD TO NOT DRIVE THE CAR IN SPORT MODE WITH THE AIR CONDITION RUNNING. "TRANSMISSION HAS NEEDED SOFTWARE UPDATES "EXTREMELY LOUD SOUNDS FROM THE ENGINE "JUDDERING, ALMOST STALLING BECAUSE ENGINE IS NOT GETTING A STEADY SUPPLY OF AIR, FUEL OR POWER "FUEL TANK IS SLOW TO FILL AND FILLING NOZZLE SHUTS OFF BEFORE TANK IS FULL "MUCH LOWER MILEAGE THAN PROMISED - NO BETTER THAN A CONVENTIONAL ENGINE CAR REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT IS ECONOMY, REGULAR OR SPORT MODE "BRAKING ISSUES. TOLD TO NOT DRIVE IN A LOWER GEAR GOING DOWN THE STEEP HILLS AS THE BRAKING ACTUALLY CHARGED THE HYBRID MOTOR EVEN THOUGH IT CAUSED OUR BRAKES TO WEAR OUT PREMATURELY. GIVEN THE LITANY OF UNREPAIRABLE PROBLEMS THAT RENDER THIS CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH MY KIDS, I THOUGHT THE NHTSA WOULD LIKE TO BE MADE AWARE IN THE EVENT THERE ARE OTHER CONSUMERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I'VE REQUESTED THAT INFINITI INITIATE A REPURCHASE FOR MY QX60 HYBRID BASED ON MY STATE'S LEMON LAW.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2015. A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. IT STARTED TO GIVE ME INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT LIGHTS (BUT NOT THE HEADLIGHT). A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER I FIRST NOTICE THE PROBLEM, I HAD THE CHANCE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. WHEN THEY TESTED THE VEHICLE THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS. I DROVE HOME PUZZLED BECAUSE WHEN I DROVE TO THE DEALER THAT MORNING THE ONE OF THE LIGHTS OF OFF. SO I TESTED THE LIGHTS AS SOON AS I GOT HOME AND THE LIGHT DIDN'T GO ON. I IMMEDIATELY CALL THE REP THAT HELP ME AT THE DEALER AND LEFT A MESSAGE. SINCE IT WAS CLOSE TO 5:30 PM I FIGURED THE REP WOULD BE CALLING ME NEXT DAY IN THE AM. NO ONE DID AND I FORGOT ABOUT THE PROBLEM DO TO WORK. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS UNTIL THE LIGHT STOPPED WORKING. BY NOW THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTEE BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT AFFECTING MY DRIVING OR IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. HOWEVER, JUST LAST WEEK, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE ARE NOT WORKING EXCEPT FOR THE FOG LIGHT. WHEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC, THE TEST REVEALED THAT THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS PER HIS DEALER CONTACT COST $1600. IT IS THE BALESTER. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER REP THEY HAVE HAD LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THOSE; HOWEVER, IF THAT IS THE CASE I NEVER RECEIVE ANY COMMUNICATION FROM INFINITI EVEN AFTER ME BRINGING MY VEHICLE FOR REPAIRS. THE COST OF REPAIR WITH LABOR NOW IS GOING TO BE OVER $2000 WHEN IT COULD HAVE BEEN FIXED WHILE ON WARRANTY.

MY 2014 INFINITI QX60 HAS A SUNROOF THAT EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65MPH WHEN I HEARD THE LOUDEST "BANG" I HAVE EVER HEARD. I THOUGHT THE CAR HAD GOTTEN SHOT. UPON PULLING OVER AND EXAMINING THE VEHICLE, I SAW THAT THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. I HAD NOT PASSED UNDER ANY OVERPASSES, NO TRUCKS WERE NEAR MY VEHICLE. I NOTED THAT THE THERE WAS NOT EVEN A SCRATCH TO THE INTERIOR SUNROOF PANEL, WHICH WOULD HAVE SUSTAINED DAMAGE IF SOMETHING HAD FALLEN ON IT. FURTHERMORE, IT WAS OBVIOUS FROM THE GLASS THAT THE DAMAGE WAS NOT FROM A FALLING OBJECT. SHARDS OF GLASS HAD APPARENTLY BLOWN INTO THE STREETS AS I DROVE. I WAS EXTREMELY SHAKEN AS I SWERVED WHEN I HEARD THE NOISE
