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 N…

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 FORW…

THE 2014 INFINITI QX60 SHUDDERS (OR BUCKS) MODERATELY TO SEVERELY AFTER RE-APPLYING THE GAS AFTER CRUISING/ROLLING AT 20 MPH WITH RPM AT APPROXIMATELY 1,000. THIS HAPPENS TO ME REPEATEDLY (EVERY DAY) BECAUSE MY HOUSE IS AT THE TOP OF THE CURVE OF HILL. AS I APPROACH THE DRIVEWAY AT THE TOP OF THE HILL, I CRUISE AND THEN RE-APPLY THE GAS TO DRIVE UP THE DRIVEWAY. THE CAR SHUDDERS (BUCKS) AS I DRIVE UP THE DRIVEWAY. IF I "GAS" IT AND GET THE RPMS UP, IT STOPS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED (1 YEAR OLD) AT 14,700 MILES ON 11/1/14. THE DAY I DROVE…

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE TRAVELING ON I-95 SOUTHBOUND FROM CT TO NY WHEN OUR BRAND NEW INFINITY QX60 SIMPLY STOPPED DRIVING BETWEEN EXIT 19 AND EXIT 18 (NE11.9). THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT THE CAR COULD NOT MOVE. WE USED WHATEVER MOMENTUM LEFT ON THE CAR TO MOVE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THIS MALFUNCTION WAS A LIFE ENDANGERING MECHANICAL FAILURE SINCE WE WERE TRAVELING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE QX60 WAS TRAVELING AT A LOW SPEED DUE TO THE TRAFFIC JAM AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE MALFUNCTIONING WAS DUE …

PROBLEM 1: APPROXIMATELY 4 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, WE NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WOULD DEACTIVATE DURING OPERATION WHILE AN ADULT WAS IN THE SEAT. CAR WAS TAKEN TO INFINITI DEALER AND SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED ACCORDING TO THE AIRBAG RECALL. HOWEVER THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO REMAIN AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG STILL RANDOMLY DEACTIVATES WHILE AN ADULT IS IN THE SEAT. INFINITI HAS BEEN INFORMED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT STATES THAT THE ISSUE CANNOT BE REPLICATED AND AS SUCH HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO FIX IT. INFINITI HAS STATED THAT THE SEAT…
