The contact owns a 2013 Infiniti JX35. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle started vibrating violently. The vehicle resumed normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence while accelerating. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to Technical Service Bulletin: ITB15-012D. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 147,000

My transmission has been going in and out while on the highway and main roads, jumps when taking off at lights and sounds like it’s not shifting gears causing a safety risk to me and my family and other on the road. I service my transmission fluid as recommend in the handbook and online reporting. infinity has a factory warranty on my vehicle but when I check the recall list it doesn’t show any recalls. I’ve been experiencing this with several jx35 infinity’s due to the cvt transmissions and would really like to have this as a recall because it’s such a common issue with these vehicles. I’ve had the same vehicle prior to this one and paid to have the transmission replaced but it still had the same issues down the road.

While driving on the freeway, the vehicle's driver assistance system suddenly became unavailable. Although the car was still able to move, the transmission would not shift gears. The engine RPMs rose unusually high — when applying pressure to the gas pedal, the RPMs could reach 4,000 to 5,000, but the vehicle accelerated very slowly. I could only maintain a speed of around 50–60 mph. It felt like the transmission was stuck in one gear and the power was not being properly delivered to the wheels. This limited acceleration and loss of responsiveness created a significant safety concern on the freeway. The following day, the check engine light turned on. I took the vehicle to AutoZone for a diagnostic scan, which returned multiple fault codes: P0840 (Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch A Circuit), P0715 (Input/Turbine Speed Sensor A), and P0746 (Pressure Control Solenoid A Performance or Stuck Off). After researching the issue, I found that many other Infiniti JX35 owners have reported similar failures involving the CVT transmission. This appears to be a recurring defect that significantly affects drivability and safety. The repair estimate I received is over $4,000, and the vehicle remains in a compromised condition. I am reporting this as a safety concern involving powertrain failure, elevated engine stress, and loss of acceleration control.

I was stopped at a stop sign. When I tried to make my turn/proceed my vehicle putted through the turn. It wouldn’t go over 5 mph it seemed. Luckily I made it out of the way before the oncoming traffic got to me. I pulled over turned the car off and then back on & it worked good enough to get me home. I took it to a mechanic and was informed it was the transmission. I did some research and found this is a common issue with this vehicle. For some reason my vehicle is not listed on the recall list, though it is exhibiting all the same issues others reported. Car is currently sitting until I can afford a new transmission. Sadly I’m still making payments on it.

Transmission was replaced twice and they are saying the transfer case is now faulty.

The transmission failed without warning. The vehicle was perfectly fine. I've found articles recalling the JX 35 for transmission issues. The car is available for inspection. Our safety was put at risk when the vehicle would not accelerate as I was going through a main intersection while vehicles were coming towards me. This issue came out of no where. No check engine light warning came on to warn me of the issue. The check engine light came on the next day when I started the vehicle. The Infiniti dealership confirmed that the transmission failed and needs to be replaced. The issue first appeared on Sunday, July 9, 2023. Again there was no check engine warning light when the issue started. The next day on July 10, 2023 the check engine light appeared and the vehicle was towed to the Infiniti dealership.

Transmission failed at 101000 miles. Going 70 miles a hour on interstate.it slowed down to15 miles a hour, for the love of something no one hit me, but it could of been a deadly combo. I'm also on a fb group and everyone complains of their trans going out. Also before then alternator and radiator fan, maf throttle and purge valve at 90000 miles, which none is covered. I did pay $3000 for a extended warranty up to 116000 miles. But this transmission is a Worldwide Nissan problem and should of been recalled. Also my BCI continues malfunctioning. I've only had the vehicle since February 2022.

I own a 2013 Infiniti JX35 and the transmission failed on 1 July 2022. It was replaced by AAMCO in Irondale Alabama on the 8th of July. The transmission promptly failed on the way back to SC. during the failure, the FCW and BCI malfunction warning lights came on and the vehicle shuddered and loss power while I was on the highway. the check engine light also came on. I am now hearing that this is a common problem with the 2013 JX35 and the 2014-15 QX60 SUVs. Had I known about this issue, I never would have purchased this death trap. I have made a subsequent trip to the AAMCO here in Columbia, SC and they reset or cleared the codes and as soon as I got on the road to head home, they came right back and I loss power and the vehicle began to shudder again.

The vehicle had just been in for service and has only been serviced by this Infiniti dealership during my ownership of the vehicle.

Been having transmission problems with this car. Saw the CVT transmission has had multiple issues with other Nissan car brands but mine was not included in any recalls. Safety is the car will not shift out of gear (dont know which) on the highway. What we been doing is parking for a hour or so and it back to working normal. Infiniti says they dont see a problem because when we take into the dealership it doesnt do it only on highway for a period of time. Also no transmission lights or anything come on when this happens. Ive read on numerous infiniti forums online people having the same issue expecting more since seems to be happening around the 100k mark and this car is almost 10 years old.

When I accelerate the car, its feels like the transmission shudders. Feels like I am driving over rubble. Don't know if this is what they call Gear slipping or transmission slipping. Happens in ECO and Standard mode, have not tried it in sport mode. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

While traveling on highway it suddenly stopped accelerating and came to a complete stop even though the car was started the RPM wouldn’t go above 3000 and it wouldn’t move forward. Thankfully we are safe.

I was driving down the road when all of a sudden the car became sluggish in acceleration, especially from a stop. It got to a point when the car was not able to go faster than 35 mph. I have noticed it was dangerous to drive like this, especially with kids in the car.

Transmission shudders when first acceleration

I WANT TO REPORT THAT MY VEHICLE I BOUGHT FROM A DEALER STARTS TO SHUDDER WHEN IS SHIFTING FROM FIRST SHIFT TO SECOND SHIFT AROUND 10-20 MPH. I FEEL UNSAFE BECAUSE I USE IT EVERYDAY AND CAN CAUSE A ACCIDENT IN THE DRIVEWAY. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM I CAN ASSUME IT'S A FACTORY ISSSUE FROM THE TRANSMISSION ON THE INFINITI. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER WITH 2 KIDS AND I SPEND A LOT OF MONEY BUYING IT FROM A USED CARE SALE. I WANT TO THIS BE FIX BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR THE TRANSMISSION TO GET WORST.

ERRATIC (BOUNCING) IDLE, AND UNPREDICTABLE POWER SURGING. NONSTOP UPSHIFT AND DOWNSHIFT EVEN WHEN CRUISE CONTROL APPLIED AT CONSTANT SPEED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 INFINITI JX35. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 15 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO INFINITI OF GWINNETT (3090 SATELLITE BLVD, DULUTH, GA 30096, (678) 812-8500) WHERE THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

AS I WAS EXITING THE INTERSTATE, THE TRANSMISSION JUST QUIT WORKING. (MILEAGE AROUND 117,000) LUCKILY I HAD PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WAS UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS BEING REPLACED BY MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER, I NOTICED THE CAR WOULD OCCASIONALLY NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE, WOULD MISS, OR EVEN NOT MOVE WHEN SHIFTED OUT OF PARK. LOCAL MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE (NO CODES AND UNABLE TO REPRODUCE AT THE TIME). A COUPLE WEEKS LATER AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT AROUND 35 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR JUST STARTED MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE. I HAD IT TOWED. THEN I REPLACED THE DRIVESHAFT, FRONT PASSENGER CV AXLE, AND THE TRANSFER CASE. I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS FINALLY REPAIRED, BUT IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING IT WAS DOING BEFORE ALL OF THESE THINGS WERE REPLACED...NOT ACCELERATING, MISSING, ETC. THIS TIME THE NOT MOVING ONCE SHIFTED OUT OF PARK WAS HAPPENING CONSTANTLY. HOWEVER, NOW IT IS BECOMING A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IT IS ALSO HAPPENING ONCE WE STOP AT A STOPLIGHT OR INTERSECTION. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO GET THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, IT ISN'T MOVING! THIS IS VERY SCARY WHEN YOU ARE JUST HOPING AND PRAYING THE VEHICLE WILL FINALLY DECIDE TO ACCELERATE BEFORE GETTING STRUCK BY ANOTHER CAR. I CONTACTED THE MECHANIC AGAIN AND TOOK IT TO HIM. HE DROVE IT AND OF COURSE WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE MAJOR HESITATION WHEN SHIFTED OUT OF PARK. WHEN I MENTIONED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN REPLACED, HE INFORMED ME THAT I WAS INCORRECT. IT HAD NOT BEEN REPLACED, BUT INSTEAD THERE HAD BEEN A "PATCH" OF SOME SORT PUT ON THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION BY THE NISSAN DEALER. HIS SUGGESTION WAS TO "GET RID OF IT." HE SAID THERE HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CVT TRANSMISSION. I WAS SHOCKED! THESE FORUMS ARE FULL OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS!

MY JX35 HAS INTERMITTENT STALLING. LIKE A STUTTER WHERE THE GEARS HAVE TROUBLE ENGAGING. ESPECIALLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR GOING UP HILL. IT HAS DONE THIS FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS WITH NO CODES EVER BEING THROWN FROM DEALERSHIP CHECKUPS UNTIL NOW. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S A CVT ERROR. MY DAUGHTER HAS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA WHICH IS HAVING A SIMILAR ISSUE AND IT IS BEING INVESTIGATED AND FULLY COVERED BY NISSAN. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE COVERED AS WELL.

VEHICLE WILL BE RUNNING AND SUDDENLY AND WITH NO WARNING, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT PROVIDE POWER TO THE WHEELS. ENGINE WILL NOT REV UNLESS IN NEUTRAL. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I WAS DRIVING IN THE FAST LANE OF A 3 LANE HIGHWAY OVER A BRIDGE WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER. ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT NO POWER WAS BEING TRANSMITTED TO THE WHEELS. ENGINE WOULD REV IN NEUTRAL BUT ONCE PUT INTO DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT REV. THE SECOND TIME, I WAS DRIVING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE ON A STREET AND THE CAR LOST POWER TO THE WHEELS AGAIN. ENGINE WOULD REV IN NEUTRAL, BUT WHEN PUT INTO DRIVE, NO POWER TO THE WHEELS AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT REV. BOTH TIME IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE THE CAR QUIT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. WHEN STUCK ON THE BRIDGE BLOCKING THE FAST LANE, A CHP EVENTUALLY SHOWED UP TO PUSH ME OFF THE BRIDGE. WHEN STUCK ON THE STREET, I WAS ABLE TO COAST BACKWARDS INTO AN OPEN PARKING SPACE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. *TR

NOW 1 YR LATER THE DEALERSHIP IS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE, BUT WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS ISSUE CANNOT BE COVERED BY OUR WARRANTY AT THIS TIME, DUE TO HAVING NO ERROR CODES. HOWEVER, FROM ONLINE REPORTS THIS IS A CLASSIC WARNING SIGN IN ISSUES WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS MALFUNCTIONING. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED AS OTHER CVT TRANSMISSIONS ALREADY COVERED BY NISSAN AND INFINITI.

I HAVE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON MY JX35 INFINITY, AND THE VIN NUMBER IS NOT LISTED. NISSAN AND INFINITY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, BUT IN MY OPINION, IS NOT COVERING ADDITIONAL VEHICLES TO SAVE MONEY. I HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP MORE THAN 3 TIMES AFTER PURCHASING IT USED FROM INFINITY IN 2015 WITHIN 3 MONTHS TIME. APPARENTLY, THIS WAS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE ISSUE WHICH I AM NOW LEFT WITH. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO COVER ADDITIONAL VIN NUMBERS THAT ARE NOT LISTED.

WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY ALERTS MY JX35 WENT INTO CATESTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE. WITH LESS THAN 90,000 MILES AND FREQUENT MAINTENANCE THIS FAILURE IS COMPLETELY NEGLIGENT ON THE PART OF INFINITI. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2013 JX35 REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH MATCHES THE FAILURE IN MY VEHICLE BUT THE VIN NUMBER DOES NOT MATCH. IN MY OPINION, INFINITI/NISSAN HAS HAD RECURRING NEGLIGENCE BY UTILIZING CVT TECHNOLOGY WITHOUT PROTECTING CONSUMERS. INFINITI IS A LUXURY BRAND THAT CONSUMERS ARE WILLING TO SPEND MORE IN ORDER TO GAIN A RELIABLE VEHICLE. INFINITI IS LETTING DOWN THEIR CONSUMERS, I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN/INFINITI AGAIN.

CAR WILL SHUDDER AND NOT SHIFT IN OR OUT OF GEAR. THIS HAPPENS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND HAS BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE. ESPECIALLY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. INFINITI HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT FIX IT.

ON DECEMBER 17, 2018 THE CAR WAS VERY SLOW TO GET INTO GEAR WHEN TURNING LEFT. AFTER PICKING UP MY SON FROM SCHOOL, WE HEADED HOME AND AS WE WERE DRIVING UP THE HILL THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER GO INTO GEAR TO GO UP THE HILL AND I PUT THE BRAKE ON. THE CAR WOULD START TO GO BACKWARDS IN DRIVE. AT THAT TIME, I TURNED THE ENGINE BACK ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO DRIVE THE CAR UP AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO GO BACKWARDS. I THEN PUT THE CAR INTO REAR DRIVE AND BACKED THE CAR BACK DOWN INTO A SAFE PARKING SPOT. I CALLED THE TOW TRUCK AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO AUTONATION INFINITI IN TUSTIN. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER FRANCISCO GUTIERREZ THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS LOW AND BURNED AND NO LONGER HAD ANY TRANSMISSION FLUID. I DID NOT SEE ANY OIL LEAKS IN MY DRIVE WAY TO INDICATE A LEAK AND I TOOK MY CAR INTO INFINITI AUTONATION FIVE TIME THIS YEAR WHERE A MULTIPOINT INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED AND I WAS NOT GIVEN ANY INDICATION THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS LOW.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GREGORY INFINITI (1121 S MILWAUKEE AVE, LIBERTYVILLE, IL 60048, (847) 362-9200), BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FIELDS INFINTI GLENCOE (2100 W FRONTAGE RD, GLENCOE, IL 60022, (847) 998-5200) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

AT 106,000 MILES, OUR 2013 JX 35 WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE BY THE DEALER AND A PRIVATE CAR REPAIR SHOP. FOUND THAT THERE IS A SERVICE CAMPAIGN DATED 4/18 ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE FOR 2013 JX35 VEHICLES. OURS MEETS ALL REQUIREMENTS EXCEPT FOR VIN. WE BELIEVE OUR VIN IS ONE OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON CITY STREET I NOTICE THAT MY CAR SEEMED POWERLESS WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDEL ALSO STARTED TO SHUDDER AN VIBRATE. ALSO NOTICE THAT MY HEADLIGHT WAS STARTING TO OBTAIN MOISTURE IN THEM.

Mileage: 74,000

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND CAR STARTED SHAKING REALLY BAD AND THEN STOPPED ACCELERATING. IT STILL RAN JUST WOULDNT' GO FORWARD OR REVERSE. DEALER SAID PROBABLY VALVES ON TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED WHICH WOULD COST $5960 AS MY CAR IS BEYOND THE WARRANTY AT 110,000 MILES. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THAT MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM ,BUT THAT WAS NEEDED TO BE DONE TO START THE DIAGNOSIS.

Mileage: 110,000

PC501 VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN ON THE 2013 JX 35 DOES NOT SHOW MY VIN BUT I AM HAVING THE SAME COMPLAINTS THAT ARE FOUND TO HAVE START THIS ON THE CVT. I NOW HAVE TO SPEND 3500 ON A NEW TRANSMISSION BECAUSE INFINITI DOESN'T FEEL THAT MY 2013 WAS NOT IN THE DATE RANGE. NISSIAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE WORTHLESS LAST ONE I EVER OWN .

IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016, MY CAR EXHIBITED A SHUDDERING MOTION WHEN DRIVING. IT WAS FOUND TO BE A FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND WAS REPLACED AT ~ 85,000 MILES. IT WAS PASSED THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND WAS PAID OUT OF POCKET. APPROXIMATELY, ONE MONTH AGO MY WIFE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I EXPLAINED THE TRANSMISSION HISTORY TO THE NISSAN SERVICE TECH AND THAT IT FELT THE SAME AS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED BEFORE.THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR HOME. ON 12/2, THE PROBLEM AGAIN HAPPENED. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE NISSAN DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THEY ADVISED I SHOULD RETURN TO THE INFINITI DEALERSHIP AS THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. IT IS A YEAR OLD WITH ~15,000 MILES ON IT. THE INFINITY SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO DETECT THE TRANSMISSION CODE BUT SAID IT WAS DUE TO AN ENGINE CYLINDER MISFIRE. THE PROCEEDED TO CHANGE THE PLUGS, THE DRIVE BELT AND CLEAN THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. UPON PICKING UP THE VEHICLE, I STARTED THE CAR AND IT IMMEDIATELY BEGAN BUCKING/ MISFIRING. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT BACK INSIDE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY DOVE WITH ME AROUND THE LOT AND WITNESSED THE MISFIRING. THE CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP. INFINITY SAID THERE WASN'T A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM ALTHOUGH THE NISSAN SERVICEMAN STATED THE CODE SHOULD STILL BE IN THE CARS SYSTEM. I FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE CONCERNING FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS AND WAS WONDERING WHAT OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 INFINITI JX35. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO INFINITI OF CORAL GABLES (2701 S LE JEUNE RD, CORAL GABLES, FL 33134, PHONE NUMBER: (786) 619-3009) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

1. CAR AT ABOUT 30 MPH; ON CITY STREETS, ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE CAUSED ENGINE REVS TO GO UP WITH NO CHANGE IN SPEED. AFTER A FEW MINUTES CAME TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN. THERE WAS A SHORT INCLINE AFTER THE STOP SIGN. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD ON DRIVE. TURNED OFF CAR, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, TURNED BACK ON AND WERE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD NORMALLY WITH SOME INTERMITTENT HICCUPS. CAR HAS HAD TRANSMISSION REBUILT.

Mileage: 45,000

ON HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70MPH, CAR STARTED DE-ACCELERATING, PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR ONLY INCREASED ENGINE RPM. EVENTUALLY GOT TO A SIDE AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. ON POWERING BACK ON, THERE WAS NO FORWARD OR REVERSE MOTION IN D OR R. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSIS IS NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION, CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THIS WILLL BE THE 2ND TRANSMISSION IN 4 YEARS. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE EPISODES OF CAR LOOSING ABILITY TO ACCELERATE FROM STATIONARY, GOING UP A SHORT INCLINE OR DRIVING AT CITY SPEEDS. CAR IS PROVING VERY UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE. WHAT IS NISSAN/INFINITI DOING ABOUT THIS? I SEE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS.

Mileage: 45,000

THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN 2015 AND NOW THE COMPUTER IS SUGGESTING THAT MY VEHICLE NEEDS THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AGAIN. THE FIRST TIME MY CAR WOULD NOT TRANSITION WHEN IT WAS PLACED INTO GEAR. THIS TIME MY CARS RPM'S GO ALL THE WAY UP EVEN IF I BARELY PLACE MY FOOT ON THE ACCELARATOR AND IT FEELS AS IF IT STALLS. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL BUT I FEEL THAT THIS VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE AND IT SHOULD BE REPLACED. MY COWORKER HAS THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL AND HIS TRANSMISSION WENT OUT TOO ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IT SEEMS THAT FIXING IT DOES NOT RESOLVE THE MATTER.

Mileage: 88,400

AT 36,000 MILES, MY JX35'S TRANSFER CASE CRACKED AND IT WAS REPAIRED BY INFINITI UNDER WARRANTEE. THE INDICATION OF THE PROBLEM WAS A RUBBING IN THE WHEELS, I HEARD A SNAP AND THE CAR BASICALLY DIED. LUCKILY I WAS ON THE STREET ON WHICH WE LIVE. AT 80,750 MILES, THE TRANSFER CASE CRACKED AGAIN. THE SIGNAL THIS TIME WAS A WHIRRING OF THE TRANSMISSION WITH LEAKING OF DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. WITH THE CAR OUT OF WARRANTEE, WE TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST (BONDED TRANSMISSION, FRAMINGHAM, MA) TO ENSURE IT WOULD BE REPAIRED ADEQUATELY. THEY BASICALLY NEEDED TO REBUILD THE VEHICLES TRANSMISSION. WE JUST PICKED IT UP TODAY AND FINGERS ARE CROSSED THAT THE PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. THE COST TO REPAIR WAS $2999.83. DOCUMENTATION OF BOTH REPAIRS IS ATTACHED. THIS WAS A MAJOR REPAIR ON EACH OCCASION. FORTUNATELY, THE FIRST TIME, I WAS ALONE IN THE CAR, ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND THERE WAS NOT INCIDENT. THE SECOND TIME, WE NOTICED THE LEAK IN THE DRIVEWAY. I'M CONCERNED THAT IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, WE WON'T BE SO LUCKY. INFINITI SHOULD BE ASHAMED AT PRODUCING SUCH AN INFERIOR PRODUCT.

THE VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A REPETITIVE THUMPING SOUNDS THAT WAS MORE FREQUENT AS SPEED INCREASED AND LESS FREQUENT WHEN SPEED DECREASED. ALL TIRES WERE CHECKED FOR DEBRIS OR DEFECTS AND NONE WAS FOUND. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED. THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE, WE ARE AWAITING REPAIR. WE ARE NOW AFRAID TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK. THIS IS THE 5TH OR 6TH TIME THAT WE HAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK FOR SOME REPAIR OR RECALL. UNACCEPTABLE FOR A $50,000 WITH A 18 MONTHS OF DRIVING. *TR

CAR WOULDN'T MOVE FROM P (PARKING) GEAR AT FIRST. WHEN IT EVENTUALLY STARTED MOVING, IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE TO MORE THAN 20 MILE PER HOUR EVEN THOUGH IT'S AT 5-6000 RPM AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR STOP MOVING COMPLETELY EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE WAS ON. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION SO BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED. 1500 MILES(3 MONTHS) LATER THE CAR STOPPED MOVING WHILE DRIVING ON 2/11/14. CAR STARTED SLIPPING BACKWARD IN THE HILLY ROAD. LEAKY TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS AT THE SITE. DEALER IS INSTALLING ANOTHER "NEW" TRANSMISSION WHILE THERE ARE LESS 6500 MILES IN THE CAR.

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. MY DEALER HAS BEEN VERY ACCOMMODATING HOWEVER IT IS VERY UNNERVING TO HAVE TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION JUST 5000 MILES INTO THE LIFE OF A VEHICLE. I AM ACTIVELY EXPLORING OPTIONS TO ADDRESS THE FINANCIAL LIABILITY THAT I NOW HAVE AS PART OF THE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

RECEIVED VEHICLE ON 8/15, BELOW IS THE PROBLEM WHICH HAVE IT AROUND 1 WEEK ON 8/24 WITH THE MILEAGE OF 300 1. WHEN DRIVING ON THE GARDEN STATE PLAZA IN A BUSY TRAFFIC, AT THE SPEED BETWEEN 10-15 MPH, FOLLOW WITH THE DISTANCE 2 VEHICLES, VEHICLE WAS SHUDDER FOR 2-3 SEC. FEELING IS THAT WHEN VEHICLE CHANGING GEAR RUM RUM SOUND FROM THE ENGINE. 2. STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 60 MPH 3. VIBRATION IN THE GAS PEDAL WHEN ACCELERATION MORE THAN 45MPH 4. COMPUTER GAS METER IS INACCURATE REPORT TO DEALER ON 9/2, AND ADVISE THE TORQUE CONVERTER NEED TO REPLACE, AND NEED TAKE 1 WEEK TO REPAIR. VEHICLE WAS PICK UP ON 9/10/13, AND ADVISE ALL WORKS IS COMPLETE. ON 10/1/13. AT THE MILEAGE 1000. THE FOLLOWING HAPPEN AGAIN 1. STEERING VIBRATION/SHUDDER AGAIN AT THE SPEED 60 MPH AGAIN, 2. GAS METER IS NOT INACCURATE, AND CANNOT REFILL GAS FOR FULL TANK. 3. GAS PEDAL FEEL VIBRATION DEALER TECH TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THE VIBRATION IS NORMAL. THOSE VIBRATION IS COME FROM THE REACTION OF THE FRONT WHEEL. AND GAS METER IS JUST THE ESTIMATE MILEAGE SHOW, USER CANNOT USE AS ACCURATE MEASURE FOR REFILL THE GAS. 1 WEEK LATER, ON 10/8/13. DEALER CALL FOR PICK UP VEHICLE, AND REPLACE THE 'INSTRUMENT COMB" AND CALIBRATE ODOMETER. AS OF TODAY 10/18/13. VEHICLE STILL HAVE SHUDDER WHEN IN THE SPEED OF BETWEEN 10-15MPH, ESPECIALLY GOING UPHILL. PER DEALER ADVISE THE JX35 ENGINE IS CVT, NO CHANGING GEAR. BUT I CAN FEEL THAT THE SHUDDER IS COME FROM WHEN ENGINE CHANGE GEAR FROM FIST TO 2ND. NO FURTHER SOLUTION DEALER CAN BE PROVIDE. *TR

I HAD ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE (INFINITI JX35) FOR A FEW WEEKS WHEN I NOTICED THAT IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND/OR SLOW SPEEDS (15-30 MPH) THE FRONT END WOULD SHAKE AND SHUDDER UNCONTROLLABLY AS IF THE CAR WAS GOING TO STALL. THE ONLY REMEDY WAS TO BUMP ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GET IT GOING FASTER. THIS MADE FOR VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AS YOU WERE CONSTANTLY SURGING FORWARD TO KEEP THE CAR FROM SPUTTERING. APPARENTLY INFINITI WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO SELLING ME THIS CAR AS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN HAD BEEN ISSUED 7/13/2013. THE BULLETIN DESCRIBES THE PROBLEM AS A TORQUE CONVERTER ISSUE AND RECOMMENDS REPLACING THE CONVERTER, WHICH REQUIRES TEARING APART THE TRANSMISSION, HOWEVER AFTER 3 DAYS IN THE SHOP REPLACING THE TORQUE CONVERTER, THE DEALERSHIP (INFINITI OF NORWOOD, NORWOOD, MA) CALLED ME TO TELL ME THAT THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY WOULD NOW HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. IN A BRAND NEW CAR...RIDICULOUS! NOW I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS ARE BACK ORDERED FOR 3-4 WEEKS AND OH, BY THE WAY, THERE ARE 2 OR 3 CARS AHEAD OF YOU WAITING WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND IN MY OPINION REPRESENTS A BREACH OF GOOD FAITH BY DEALERS SELLING THESE VEHICLES. MY CALLS TO THE SALES REP AND THE GM HAVE GONE UNANSWERED FOR 5 AND 3 DAYS RESPECTIVELY. BUYER BEWARE ON THESE VEHICLES. *JS
