2014 INFINITI QX60 Complaints

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. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MILES AN HOUR IN MY 2 WEEK OLD INFINITI Q60 I WAS STARTLED BY THE SOUND OF WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A GUNSHOT. MY HUSBAND INSTRUCTED ME TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS HE THOUGHT PERHAPS A TIRE HAD BLOWN. TO OUR SURPRISE THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. THIS RESULTED IN A LARGE HOLE WITH GLASS FACING UPWARD. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED BY THE GLASS THAT ENTERED THE VEHICLE. *TR

PURCHASED NEW 2014 QX60 HYBRID EQUIPPED WITH TECHNOLOGY PACKAGE, INCLUDING INTELLIGENT BRAKE ASSIST WITH FORWARD COLLISION WARNING, AND DISTANCE CONTROL ASSIST. INITIALLY THE ONLY ISSUE WAS THE VEHICLE HESITATING WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THE VEHICLE NEEDED A BREAK-IN PERIOD TO OPTIMIZE THE ENGINE AND HYBRID SYSTEM. TWO WEEKS LATER AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT LESS THAN 15 MPH, THE DRIVER SEAT BELT SUDDENLY PRE-TENSED TIGHTLY AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES, SUDDENLY PINNING ME TO SEAT UNTIL VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED. IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY WHEN GENTLY APPLYING BRAKE WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED ON RESIDENTIAL STREET. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED EACH TIME IT HAPPENED WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT LOW SPEED WITH NO VEHICLES OR OBSTACLES IN VICINITY. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CHECKED THE VEHICLE OVER 24 HOURS AND COULD NOT DETECT THE PROBLEM, RETURNING THE VEHICLE TO ME. AFTER A WEEK IT BEGAN AGAIN, EACH TIME TIGHTENING QUICKLY AND PINNING ME INTO MY SEAT UNTIL VEHICLE COMPLETELY STOPPED. OCCURRED RANDOMLY AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 20MPH AND NO CARS, PEDESTRIANS OR OBSTACLES NEAR VEHICLE. NO ALARMS, NO WARNING AND NO REASON. NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS IT OCCURRED AS OFTEN AS 3 TIMES IN LESS THAN 24HRS, I LEFT MY VEHICLE AT DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AGAIN. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS, BOTH SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND SERVICE MANAGER STATED THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THE SEAT BELT IS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH AIRBAG/SAFETY SYSTEM OR RECOGNIZE THE HYBRID SYSTEM. SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE CONFIRMED OTHER QX60 HYBRIDS DETECTED SAME SEAT BELT MALFUNCTIONING DURING MANUFACTURING LINE TEST. MY QX60 HYBRID IS STILL IN DEALERSHIP SERVICE AFTER TWO WEEKS AND THEY CANNOT DETERMINE CAUSE OF SEAT BELT MALFUNCTIONING. *TR

MY CAR JUST SHUTOFF ENGINE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY..I TOOK IT TO DEALER THEY COULDN'T FIND OUT WHAT'S PROBLEMS,THEY HOLD MY CAR 2WEEKS FINALLY THEY FOUND IT. IT WAS HYBRID ALTERNATOR.. AND JULY 18/2014 MY CAR START FLUTTER WHEN BACK TO DEALER THEY STILL HOLD MY CAR FOR REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. I FEEL THIS CAR NEED A RECALL FOR SAFETY.. *TR

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. *JS

TL ' THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 INFINITI QX60 HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER UPDATED THE SOFTWARE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,300. JCC UPDATED 10/1/14*CN UPDATED 3/30/2015 *JS

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW INFINITI QX60 2014 IN APR. 2014. THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG HAS BEEN FREQUENTLY OFF EVEN WHEN AN ADULT OCCUPIES THE SEAT, AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENED JUST A FEW DAYS AFTER THE PURCHASE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY RE-CALIBRATED THE AIRBAG SENSOR. ALSO, THE DEALER SAID THAT THE CAR IS NOT UNDER RECALL LIST AS THE CAR IS NEWLY MANUFACTURED IN MAR. 2014, AND THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY, IN FACT, DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS AFTER THE RE-CALIBRATION OF THE AIRBAG SENSOR - THEY NEED A FIELD ENGINEER FROM INFINITI DIRECTLY TO INVESTIGATE THIS... UNFORTUNATELY, I STILL NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG IS OFTEN OFF EVEN THOUGH MY WIFE (OR MYSELF) OCCUPIED THE PASSENGER SEAT (EVEN AFTER THE SENSOR RE-CALIBRATION). AS THE AIRBAG IS VERY CRITICAL, THIS ISSUE MUST BE RESOLVED. *TR

I LEASED THE QX60 ON MARCH 19TH AND RIGHT AWAY I NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD GO ON WHEN MY SONS (100 AND 110 POUNDS) WOULD SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT. NOW I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE CAR MAY BE UNDER THE RECALL BUT THAT THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE IT IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS UNTIL MID APRIL. UNTIL THEN I CANNOT DRIVE WITH ANYONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FOR FEAR THAT, IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY. I AM INCREDIBLY UPSET! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 INFINITI QX60. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG SEAT SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 800.

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF OCCASIONALLY. MY DAUGHTER IS 115 POUNDS AND WE HAD MULTIPLE CARS AND HER WAIT WAS NEVER AN ISSUE. WE TOOK VEHICLE TO INFINITY AND THEY REPLACED SENSOR BUT AFTER A WEEK SAME PROBLEM TOOK CAR BACK NO RESOLUTION YET. I KNOW THEY HAD RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON JX 35. *TR
