“While driving the vehicle to work I started experiencing a clunking sound from under the vehicle like I had something stuck under it. The vehicle has never been off road or neglected. It seems like a very poor design aspect that shows early in ownership, shame on Infiniti for poor craftsmanship in a most vital part!!!!!!”

“My vehicle shattered and violent shaking upon accelaration. Theres a CVT recall for the same models, and when I bring my car to the dealer they told me they can't replace it for free because my car is salvage. Now I can't drive because am not feeling safe and I dont want to endanger my self and the other drivers.”

NHTSA complaint #11355626, filed 2020-09, 90,000 miles

“Same issue many others noted, which is the transmission jerking at low speed and over-revving/jolting on acceleration from a stop. When trying to coast at low speed in traffic the car shudders so badly I have to just stop. Seems especially pronounced as the vehicle transitions from e-drive to the gas engine. We bought the car used, and this has been happening for a long time.”

NHTSA complaint #11258228, filed 2019-09, 80,000 miles

“My 2014 Infiniti QX60 with 47000 miles is having transmission issues. While on a family reunion in the hills of southern ohio, I had two separate, really hard downshifts after cresting a hill at about 40-45 MPH. Since then I have experienced 2 or 3 instances of shuttering when accelerating from red lights.”
