“Broken o-ring seal between transfer case and CVT assembly - transmission fluid leaking from transfer case seal - this came up after 5years of the car - JX35 was the firs model and has multiple defects and I believe this is one of them as we do not see issues with transmission this came up at service check”

“The radiator fan motor started making loud noises and soon afterwards broke. The engine started overheating and I barely drove the car to the infinity dealership in coral gables. My infinity has 34,000 miles, but it's been more than 4 years since I bought it and the service department at the dealership in told me that the fan assembly radiator motor is not covered by the engine warranty. The service adviser told me that they see such defects quite often on similar vehicles.”

“After about 3000 miles, I began to experience a bucking of the car at very low speed in traffic (~10-15mph). Experienced a loss of power and would have to stomp on the accelerator to get the vehicle to accelerate. This began to occur regularly until I decided to take the vehicle in as part of the first service. I was informed that the transmission would have to be replaced and that I would have to wait for the part to arrive and that this was a known service bulletin. …”

“During the week of december 29th, my car had the same shuddering noise as described in service bulletin: TSB no. Itb15-012d. The noise coming from the engine area sounded like a bag that was being on the ground during those few days. I brought my car into a local repair shop, thinking it would be brakes since that has been the only issue with the car. However, after driving on the freeway there was a loud noise like something dropped on the ground and my husband was able to pull the vehicle over to the middle fork of the road and the car completely ceased. …”

“Car strongly vibrates/shudders at approx 20 MPH and thereafter, and I had to take foot off pedal to get it to shift gears. Engine light comes on.

Service engine light on, and car hesitates and vibrates upon acceleration. Per service invoice, improper connection pin fitment . Dealership replaced fuel injector, and said problem solved. On 1/16/2014, same issue. …”
