CVT have been told by one Infiniti Dealership the the fluids never need to be flushed, changed or filled. Then I hear about the Transfer Differential which I am assuming is the Transfer Case is leaking and that it would need to be replaced entirely along with the rear coupling costing nearly $10K in repair (Estimated $8,500 alone on these two items). I have found online people and even other Infiniti dealerships where these fluids are flushed and refilled regularly of which in discussing with the dealership these findings, they advised they never have to be flushed, but it is recommended through forums and other dealerships of such. In finding more about the history of my car, I have found that it has NEVER had a flush of the Transfer Differential or CVT or other factors of changing fluids. I advised I recently had a burning smell along with grinding. They only say I need to completely change that out. If I have a leak, then that should have been the first directive in fixing the seal (since this is a sealed compartment). I have 3 times where the power wasn't going to the transmission where I almost got into accidents. Thankfully, the other driver's were able to merge or brake as these were primarily city streets. I found a video where a gentleman had the same issue, the CVT was replaced, and the issue only got worse. How is this allowed or possible?

A few weeks ago our car was driving with a clunking noise, we took it to the shop and the transfer case was found to have metal shavings in the fluid. Our car only has approximately 81,000 miles on it. Our car was at the Infiniti dealership and they diagnosed the transfer case is going bad as well as the transmission. The car’s transmission has a known history of failure to this make and model and therefore it was still under warranty. This was the fourth time the transmission has been replaced! The technician told me about the transfer case, that it was not abnormal for it to go bad on this make and model of car as well. Please look into others with this car and it has there been similar reports, the repair was near $6000. I just paid and brought the car home today.

I’m reporting a serious safety issue with this Infiniti. Tonight while driving the engine just shut off. We fortunately were not in an accident, but easily could have been. What terrifies me is that this happened twice a few years ago. It was still under warranty so Infiniti inspected it and replaced the entire transmission. The warranty is expired, but this huge safety issue is still happening!

Turned out it's a bad transmission issue. Nissan/Infiniti will not cover this under warranty, although, it's a known customer experience and concern. I have had to spend too much time/money to take care of this...wish we had NEVER bought this vehicle as it's now become a huge safety-related issue. The vehicle cannot move when you press the gas, it shudders, slips due to the transmission. You just don't have as much control as you would with a typical passenger vehicle FWD or AWD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
While driving home from work on the expressway, the FEB indicator came on even though there was no one in front of me for at least 1/4 mile. Then the BCI indicator came on when there was no vehicle behind me. The braking system started to engage for no apparent reason. I previously owned a 2017 QX60 and experienced the same issues. Infiniti could not correct the issue and I was granted a new vehicle under the lemon law. Unfortunately, my current QX60 has too many miles to consider for the lemon law again.

Transfer case failed. Car does not accelerate properly. Loses acceleration with speed. Confirmed by dealership but have not been reproduced. Transmission was previously. No warnings of the problem. Vehicle was driving fine. No fluid leaks or concerns. Just wheezing noise that was thought to be rotors or brakes. Upon taking it to the dealership because replacement warranty was still effective was informed that transfer case failed at 46000 miles. No warning signs of issue occurring, but wheezing from vehicle.

We bought the car used at 63,000 miles (approx.). At 65,000 (approx.) the engine will not crank. No engine lights were on. Infiniti will not acknowledge warranty due to engine sludge even though it has been maintained. After online searches, this seems to be a regular occurrence for this model and year.

STEERING, POWER TRAIN
Vehicle purchased oct 23, 2021. Same day of purchase the vehicle displayed steering issues and acceleration issues. Vehicle difficult to steer and accelerate or push the pedal to make the vehicle go forward which has caused pain and stress to my arm and leg. Returned vehicle back to dealer next business day and the service center denies any mechanical issue with vehicle upon their alleged vehicle diagnoatic although the service man agreed and confessed to both myslef and the salesman that the vehicle has an issue that is not showing on the diagnoatic based on the service guy driving the vehicle himself. The dealerahip refuses to acknowledge that they sold me a defective 2018 infiniti QX60 with 22,000 miles that feels to have transmission malfunction and steering malfunction. Vehicle sold to me faulty as a lemon and I a feel useless with a vehicle unsafe and uncomfortable to drive on the road.

I have Infiniti QX60 2014. I was driving with my family from a road trip. The vehicle started to jerk and violently shake when driving about 50 miles per hour. The vehicle almost stopped in the middle of the road. I pulled off and had to driver very slowly with hazard lights on for 40 minutes home. This is a major safety concern for this vehicle.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I bought my QX60 2017 in April of 2021. fine til wk 2 experienced electrical issues liftgate stops going up or down randomly, hesitation in the acceleration when pulling into traffic (quite scary when you almost get rammed). concerns told to dealership stated I needed to change key fob battery. I already had and it was fine. They insisted I cchangeit so I did.. Not the issue. So I made an appt to have concerns checked.. ie transmission hesitation and electrical . I brought it in got a loaner. Many days later it was ready and I could pick it up they could find no issues they fixed nothing but the groan in the gas tank that's it. They said they couldn't duplicate it. So I reiterated to them to make sure that they understood that it was done at random and it's still being done at random months later. So I brought the car home and I've just been dealing with it not knowing what else to do cuz if they don't take the car and actually drive it like it's their own they probably won't experience it just driving around the parking lot. And even though they had it a week and could have done that I guess they didn't. Well then back in the end of August beginning of September my car wouldn't start I had to put the key fob next to the button in order to start it which I didn't figure out till later lots of electrical things were happening at that point added to what I already had so I brought it to them and they said it was the battery it was under warranty so they changed and explain that that should take care of all of my issues and if not bring it back in. So I've made another appointment for today and I'm bringing it back in because the hesitation is still there there's more electrical issues there's always been a Bluetooth electrical issue there's now rear camera, volume sometimes work sometimes blows your ears out, vibration in engine compartment, unlock door open door it sounds unlocking again repeatedly repeatedly and liftgate still

Transmission failed. The car was shuddering for a while now. The term "shuddering" I learned after describing issue to dealer who told me that looks like a transmission issue. After paying $170 to get it checked, I was told that transmission has premature failure code and must be replaced. I was told that the car is under 60K mileage, but over time period of warranty period by 2 months. They gave me a quote of around $6,500 to replace transmission. My car is 2015 Infinit QX60, which is exactly the same as 2014 version (which has transmission recall). The problem apparently was not fixed for 2015 version, but the recall was only issues for 2013 and 2014. I contacted Initini, however they told me to contact their legal team. This issue should be put on recall.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
The emergency braking system occassionally engages when I am driving. On about four occassions I was driving and the alarm began beeping. The car suddenly began braking. Nothing was directly in front of my vehicle that should have triggered the system. The most recent incident was yesterday, 10/5/21. This afternoon on my way home from work, the following warning appeared after a brief beeping sound, " FEB. Warning. See Owners Manual." A symbol was also lit on the dashboard. This warning remained on until I turned my vehicle off once I arrived home. I have not restarted the vehicle to see if the warning reappears. There have also been at least two instances of the rear sensor going off.

Purchased my QX60 3 months ago from a used dealership. Today while out of town, car abruptly stopped accelerating. I pushed to safety, let it sit, car began to start moving again. Within a short min, it was right back to shutting off and being stuck in traffic with 4 minor passengers. This is very dangerous and seemingly a more common issue than just me. The day after my wedding…. And I’m towing my car.
