2014 INFINITI QX60 Complaints

THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL. A TEST DRIVE WITH THE DEALERSHIP ON 11/19/2014 REVEALED, SETTING THE CRUISE AT 40 MPH SHOWED AN INCREASE IN SPEED OF 30+ MPH, DOWNHILL. WHEN GOING DOWNHILL THE VEHICLE WILL INCREASE IN SPEED WITH THE ENGINE RPM'S REMAINING AT 1500 RPM'S, 1500RPM = 40 MPH. THIS CLEARLY SHOWS THE CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT RELEASING THE THROTTLE AND NOT DOWNSHIFTING TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN, AS STANDARD CRUISE DOES. THIS IS MY SECOND REQUEST FOR HELP, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, [XXX] *BF 'INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *BF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 INFINITI QX60. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG TURNED OFF WHILE BEING OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT. THE AIR BAGS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT NEEDED TO BE RE-CALIBRATED AND THE SEAT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V138000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 24,415.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP INTO A RIGHT OR A LEFT TURN, THE RPMS GO UP BUT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 3-4 TIMES BEFORE MY FIRST 5000 MILES. I WAS TOLD IT WAS PART OF THE ENGINE BREAK-IN PROCESS. WHEN I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR ITS 10K SERVICE, I AGAIN COMPLAINED OF THIS HAPPENING, BUT THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE RESULTS. IT HAS HAPPENED 2X SINCE MY LAST SERVICE, ONCE WITHIN 24 HRS OF THE SERVICE AND THE OTHER AT APPROXIMATELY 14910 MILES. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AS I'M AFRAID TO GET REAR ENDED. I HAVE FOUND AT LEAST 3 OTHER REPORTED INCIDENCES OF THIS BY OTHERS ONLINE AND THE DEALERS DON'T SEEM TO BE DOING ANYTHING TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE. I AM ALSO HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS OTHERS REGARDING THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOING ON AND OFF AT RANDOM.

SINCE WE HAVE PURCHASED OUR CAR BRAND NEW IN 2014 WE HAVE HAD ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. RANDOMLY, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A PERSON SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR IS LIT "OFF" AS IF NOONE IS SITTING IN THE CAR SEAT. WE HAVE RECORDED VIDEOS OF MULTIPLE EVENTS AND HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER. EACH TIME THE DEALERSHIP RUNS A SCAN IT TELLS THEM THAT THE CAR IS OPERATING NORMALLY. I HAVE EVEN DEALT WITH INFINITI DIRECTLY AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO COME UP WITH A FIX AND KEEP TELLING US TO BE PATIENT BECAUSE THEY ARE WORKING ON RESOLVING THIS PROBLEM. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR NOW FOR ALMOST 1 1/2 YEARS AND STILL NO GOOD FIX BY INFINITI. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND WE FEEL IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE SINCE AN AIRBAG WOULD NOT GO OFF DURING AN ACCIDENT EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

SUNROOF GLASS SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED N SHATTERED INTO SMALL PIECES SHARDS AND GLASS DUST WITHOUT IMPACT FROM ANYTHING.

VEHICLE IS MOVING WHEN PARKED IN INCLINED POSITION. REMOVING THE VEHICLE FROM "PARK" ON A INCLINED ROAD IT IS MOVING FREELY. WE HAVE PARKED ON A INCLINED ROAD AND AS SOON AS I REMOVE IT FROM PARK TO REVERSE IT WENT FORWARD FREELY. I HAVE TO HIT THE GAS FULL, IN ORDER TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 INFINITI QX60. WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND AN UPDATE NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,569.

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR A LOUD BOOM, AS IF A GUN WAS FIRED RIGHT BY MY EAR. I ALMOST RAN INTO ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE IT STARTLED ME SO. I PULLED OFF ONTO A MEDIAN AND INSPECTED THE CAR. I LOOKED AT MY CAR AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE ROOF, I REALIZED THAT MY SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. I WAS SHOCKED! I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT. MY SON, WHO WAS WITH ME WAS ALSO VERY SCARED. HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT THE OTHER WINDOWS EXPLODING. IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING.

WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A DEAD STOP SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE PAUSES AND MOVES VERY SLOWLY ENOUGH TO GET YOU IN THE FRONT OF ON COMING VEHICLES, AND THEN WILL NOT EXCEED OVER 10 TO 12 MPH WHICH TAKES UP TO 30 TO 45 SEC. OR MORE. I NARROWLY ESCAPED A SEMI TRUCK HITTING ME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE PULLING OUT OF OUR LOCAL POST OFFICE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE NEEDED TO YANK THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD SO AS NOT TO GET REAR ENDED IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES, WHICH THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE ISSUE BY REPLACING SOMETHING CALLED A BREAK SWITCH, "TWICE" THIS HOWEVER DID NOT CORRECT PROBLEM. THE NATIONAL INFINITI GROUP SENT A RECORDING DEVICE WHICH THE DEALER INSTALLED, THIS MEANT THAT WHEN THIS EVENT OCCURRED I WAS SUPPOSED TO REACH DOWN TO THE CONSOLE WHERE THE DEVICE WAS LOCATED AND PUSH A BUTTON TO RECORD EVENT ALL THE WHILE TRYING TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I SUCCESSFULLY DID IT WITHOUT INCIDENT AND RECORDED THE REQUESTED 6 EVENTS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY OCCURRING NOW FOR 7 MONTHS. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY ELDERLY PARENTS WITH EVERY AVAILABLE SAFETY OPTION FOR THEIR SAFETY, AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LET THEM DRIVE THE CAR FOR OVER 6 MONTHS SINCE THEY TOOK IT ON A TRIP. FEARING THAT THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REACT FAST ENOUGH TO AVOID BEING IN AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE GETTING KILLED IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO DRIVE IT. INFINITI CALLED TODAY AND SAID THE RESULTS FROM DATA RECORDER SHOWED NO FIX NEEDED AT THIS TIME, SO THEY ARE CLEARLY IGNORING THE ISSUE AS I HAVE READ ONLINE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT ISSUE. SOMEONE OR SOME FAMILY IS GOING TO HAVE A TRAGIC ACCIDENT WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I WANT TO GO ON RECORD THAT INFINITI CORPORATE ARE FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND CHOSE TO DO NOTHING. *TR

PURCHASED CAR 11/2013 NEW FROM DEALERSHIP. WITHIN THREE MONTHS, FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT BEGAN COMING ON EVEN THOUGH A PASSENGER WAS IN THE SEAT. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON & OFF EVER SINCE. THERE HAS BEEN NO PATTERN DISTINGUISHABLE -- NO CORRELATION BETWEEN WEIGHT OF PERSON, IN CAR WHEN/WHEN NOT STARTED, NOR HOW LONG LIGHT HAS STAYED ON OR IF IT DID GO OFF AFTER >3MIN. WE HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES, FOUR OFFICIALLY ON THE SERVICE HISTORY, AND AT LEAST TWO OTHER TIMES AS A "DRIVE THRU" TO CONFIRM THAT INDEED MY FAMILY WOULD BE SAFE IF IN AN ACCIDENT (VERBAL REASSURANCE GIVEN BY SERVICE MANAGER FOR EACH OF THOSE "DRIVE-THRU" TIMES). SERVICE MANAGER SAID SYSTEM IS WORKING PROPERLY PRIOR TO INITIAL OCS REPROGRAM COMPLETED 6/5/14 (RECALL NUMBER 14V138000). LIGHT REMAINED ON WHILE PULLING OUT OF DEALERSHIP ON 6/5/14 AND THEY REPROGRAMED IT AGAIN BEFORE LEAVING. DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS OVER 30 MILES AWAY, AS WELL AS THEIR INSISTENCE THAT THE SYSTEM IS "WORKING PROPERLY", I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT IS MANY TIMES WHEN THE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. IF TAKEN IN EACH TIME, THIS WOULD BE PROBABLY EVERY TEN DAYS - TWO WEEKS. IF THE LIGHT HAS NOT GONE OFF, I HAVE MADE THAT PERSON GET INTO THE BACK SEAT. OVER 90% OF THE TIME, THESE HAVE BEEN FAMILY MEMBERS, WEIGHING BETWEEN 90#-200# AND ALL OVER 5' TALL. ADDITIONAL SERVICE HISTORY TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE ARE: 8/20/14, 8/25/14, 3/24/15. SERVICE MANAGER FREQUENTLY UNABLE TO DUPLICATE CONCERNS, INSISTS SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING APPROPRIATELY. WHEN ASKED IF HE WOULD CONSIDER PLACING HIS LOVED ONE IN THIS SEAT WITH THE LIGHT ON, TRUSTING THE FUNCTION WILL PROTECT THOSE IN A HIGHWAY ACCIDENT, HE STATED, "I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS." *TR
