Example complaints
Transmission and drivetrain: “The transmission started shuttering in the 20-25 MPH range on 8/16/19. I took it in for service the next day and they replaced the transmission control valve on 8/23. The shuttering returned on 9/1 and now occurs between 20 to 60 MPH. This issue occurs during highway or street driving. Vehicle has 31k plus miles”
NHTSA complaint #11252858, filed 2019-09, 31,000 milesEngine: “This problematic Infiniti QX60 had failed once again while I was on the highway. It's just dead and the engine refused to start. I had to call the tow truck to drop off at the kings Infiniti auto shop for repair. First, it was a huge inconvenience that they couldn't take a look at the vehicle until a week later. Second, no one ever offered me a loaner car to take home and has still denied this request. We depend on this for work and school. Third, just today I was informed by the Infiniti technician that I would be responsible for the repair fees of $13,000 due to engine failure! Seriously?! …”
