2014 INFINITI QX60 Vehicle Speed Control Problems

This vehicle started shaking and juttering at a lower speed and made it very difficult to drive. Then I could accelerate and it would not go faster. I took it to a repair shop and they were getting CVT codes for the transmission. I looked online a found that many other people had these same issues as well as a Class Action Lawsuit that was settled a few years ago for 278 million for these problems. I was never informed that this CVT was a problem and could have it replaced from Nissan for no charge. I am not sure why Nissan would allow an unsafe transmission to be installed into a vehicle that would make the car unsafe to drive.

The car is not engaging when going from 1st to all gears, the car feels very shaky and unstable

The car does not accelerate or accelerate with jerky motion. Occasionally, the vehicle disengaged out of drive mode and would not accelerate. There seems to be some transmission issues as the vehicles is making jerky movement upon acceleration. Almost cause accident on a turn as it could not move forward out of cross traffics!

I bought a 2014 INFINITI QX60 and after one week, my vehicle started to jerk after resuming from a stop sign or stop light but was just annoying at first. Later that day, the check engine light came on and I took it to auto zone to get the code which displayed "P1715 - Input Pulley Speed Signal" and secondary DTCs were P0776 (Pressure solenoid B performance/stuck off. When I am driving, I cannot make it a mile without having my RPMs skyrocket and my vehicle become inoperable and makes me turn my flashers on and find a place to pull over, shut off my vehicle, and restart it. This repeats over and over and over if I continue to get to the grocery store for essential needs but it is not safe to drive and will for sure cause a collision if it keeps happening. There are so many issues with this make/model and needs to be addressed for the safety of others on the road and myself/children as it is unexpected and very scary.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR LOSSES NORMAL SPEED AND STOPS RESPONDING TO ME TRYING TO ACCELERATE EVEN AFTER I HIT THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, CAR KEEPS SLOWLY MOVING BUT DOESN'T PICK UP THE SPEED. SOMETIMES ITS JERKING ON ITS OWN AND DO NOT RESPOND TO MY PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL. SEESM TO BE REALATED TO SIMILAR ISSUE THAT THEY HAVE WITH Q50 CARS "ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) MAY TEMPORARILY LOSE A SIGNAL FROM ONE OF THE ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM'S THROTTLE POSITION SENSORS (TPS). IF THIS OCCURS, LOSS OF POWER FOLLOWED BY SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CAN OCCUR. DUE TO A SOFTWARE MALFUNCTION, THE ENGINE MAY SUDDENLY LOSE THEN REGAIN POWER, CAUSING UNINTENDED ACCELERATION.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE ACCELERATION PEDAL GOT STUCK IN THE 'PUSHED IN' POSITION. THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN REACHING SPEEDS UP TO 95 MPH. *TR

TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP FREE OF CHARGE LATE LAST YEAR, NOW TRANSMISSION IS SHUDDERING WHILE DRIVING AND CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE OVER 25-35 MPH.

Mileage: 110,000

WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHUDDER AND IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE IN A TIMELY FASHION. WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET OR HIGHWAY THE CAR DOES NOT GAIN RPMS AND BEGINS TO WHAT BEST CAN BE DESCRIBED AS COUGHING AND SHAKING. CHANGING GEARS FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL OR REVERSE ALSO TAKES THE VEHICLE TIME TO MAKE THE CHANGE.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, LOSES POWER DURING ACCELERATION AND WHEN IN MOTION.

THE CAR SHUDDER WHEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR. I WAS TOLD BY THE INFINITI REPAIRMAN THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION. CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND: THE VEHICLES INFINITI QX60 2014 ARE EQUIPPED WITH CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSIONS KNOWN AS THE JATCO CVT8HT THAT WERE ALLEGEDLY DEFECTIVE BEFORE THEY WERE EVEN INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLES. NEVER GOT A PHONE CALL FROM INIFINITI FOR INSPECTION THE POSSIBLE PROBLEM.

AFTER TAKING OFF CAR NOT SHIFTING SOUNDS LIKE A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM TRANSMISSION AND CAR WAS JERKING AT LOW SPEED. ALSO HAD CRUISE SET AND CAR SPEEDS UP ON IT OWN.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY INFINITI QX60 SINCE I PURCHASED IT 09/2014. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH IT ACCELERATING. I WOULD PRESS ON THE GAS AND IT WOULDN'T GIVE ME THE ACELLERATION THAT I WOULD EXPECT FROM THIS CAR... IT IS VERY SLUGGISH. I HAVE TOLD THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE 2014. EVERY TIME THEY CHECKED IT, THEY SAID THERE WASN'T A PROBLEM. ONE TIME, I RECEIVED THE SAME CAR AS A LOANER CAR WHILE THEY WORKED ON MY CAR, AND I COULD CLEARLY SEE THAT THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY THAT CAR DROVE VERSUS MINE. THE LOANER CAR DROVE BETTER THAN MY CAR. SO, TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, I DROPPED MY CAR OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP IN MID-MAY (LAST MONTH) TO BE LOOKED AT. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR (JUDDER ISSUE) AND THEY HAD MY CAR FOR A WEEK. DURING THAT TIME, I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND OTHERS HAD THE SAME COMPLAINTS. ONE PERSON SAID THAT THEIR DEALERSHIP ENDED UP PURCHASING THEIR CAR BACK FROM THEM/ REFUNDED THEIR MONEY BECAUSE THE JUDDER ISSUE WASN'T RESOLVED. I ALSO SPOKE TO A REGIONAL SPECIALIST AT INFINITI AND HAVE A CASE # OF CASE # 22529177. I AM GOING TO CONTACT THE REGIONAL SPECIALIST AGAIN BECAUSE THIS ISSUE ISN'T RESOLVED BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT INFINITI SELLS INFERIOR CARS. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE RUBBER MOLDING ON THE PASSENGER RIGHT DOOR IS COMING OFF AND PREVENTING ME FROM CLOSING THE DOOR AND WHEN SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, WITH THEIR SEATBELT IS ON, THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. IM SCARED THAT MY CAR WILL JUST DIE ON ME AS I'M DRIVING IT. WITH ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING WITH AUTOMOBILES THESE DAYS, I DO NOT ANT TO FALL VICTIM TO ANY OF THESE ISSUES.

THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL. A TEST DRIVE WITH THE DEALERSHIP ON 11/19/2014 REVEALED, SETTING THE CRUISE AT 40 MPH SHOWED AN INCREASE IN SPEED OF 30+ MPH, DOWNHILL. WHEN GOING DOWNHILL THE VEHICLE WILL INCREASE IN SPEED WITH THE ENGINE RPM'S REMAINING AT 1500 RPM'S, 1500RPM = 40 MPH. THIS CLEARLY SHOWS THE CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT RELEASING THE THROTTLE AND NOT DOWNSHIFTING TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN, AS STANDARD CRUISE DOES. THIS IS MY SECOND REQUEST FOR HELP, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, [XXX] *BF 'INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *BF

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS,THE GAS PEDAL ON THE CAR GOT STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION CAUSING THE CAR TO ACCELERATE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE FIRST TIME WAS WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL, IT STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION AND I HAD TO MANUALLY DISENGAGE IT WITH MY FOOT. THE SECOND TIME ON 3/7/2015 AT 2050, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AT A STEADY SPEED OF 65 MPH WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WENT DOWN ON ITS OWN CAUSING THE CAR TO ACCELERATE TO APPROXIMATELY 85 MPH BEFORE SHE WAS ABLE TO DISENGAGE THE PEDAL. THERE WAS NOTHING UNDERNEATH THE PEDAL TO CAUSE IT TO GET STUCK EITHER TIME. MY WIFE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD BY THE GENERAL MANAGER, [XXX], THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THE RUG STUCK UNDER THE PEDAL AND THE ALL WEATHER MAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PUT OVER THE STANDARD MAT. THESE HAD BEEN INSTALLED BY THE DEALER AND WE EXPLAINED THAT THE MATS WERE NOT NEAR THE PEDAL. THEY FINALLY AGREED TO COME GET THE VEHICLE TO CHECK IT. WHEN THE DRIVER CAME TO PICK IT UP, HE STATED HE WAS TOLD THE MATS WERE CAUSING THE PEDAL TO GET STUCK. WE TOLD HIM THAT WAS NOT THE CASE AND WE DIDN'T THINK THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. HE TESTED THE GAS PEDAL WITH THE VEHICLE OFF AND SAID IT FELT ABNORMAL. IT HAD A CLICK MID WAY DOWN AS WELL AS A CLICK AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THY RANGE OF THE PEDAL. I ALSO CALLED INFINITI CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND REPORTED THIS AS WELL. CASE # [XXX] WAS ASSIGNED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY WIFE PURCHASED 2014 INFINITI QX-60 SUV ON JANUARY 23, 2014. SHE NOTICED WHEN SETTING THE INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL AT 40 MPH THE VEHICLE WILL PICK-UP SPEED GOING DOWNHILL. DEPENDING ON THE LENGTH AND GRADE OF THE HILL THE VEHICLE WILL INCREASE AS MUCH AS 30+ MPH. WHEN I DROVE THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THE ENGINE RPM'S REMAINED AT, 1500 RPM'S, BUT THE SPEED WOULD CONTINUE TO INCREASE. ON MARCH 18,2014 I MADE A VISIT TO DEALERSHIP AND MET WITH THE SERVICE CONSULTANT AND THE SERVICE MANAGER. I EXPLAINED WHAT I EXPERIENCED AND ASKED IF THEY COULD LOOK INTO IT FOR ME. WHEN I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE I WAS TOLD THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE MY CONCERN. I THEN CONTACTED INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS VIA EMAIL AND EXPLAINED MY CONCERN. I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS PERSON, AND WAS TOLD TO CALL THE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE MANAGER TO SCHEDULE A TEST DRIVE OF THE SAME MODEL. I FOUND IT TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS MY WIFE'S CAR. I CALL THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS PERSON AT INFINITI AND TOLD HIM WHAT I FOUND. HE EXPLAINED THAT WAS HOW THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS DESIGNED AND IS NORMAL. ON NOVEMBER 19,2014, I REQUEST TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE INFINITI REPRESENTATIVE WOULD BE AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE INFINITI REPRESENTATIVE HAPPEN TO BE IN THE SERVICES MANAGERS OFFICE SO I EXPLAINED MY PROBLEM TO THEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER SUGGESTED WE GO FOR A TEST DRIVE, AND HE DROVE. HE SET THE INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL AT 40 MPH, WHEN WE STARTED DOWNHILL THE VEHICLE PICKING UP SPEED. WHEN WE REACHED THE BOTTOM WE CONTINUED TO PICK UP SPEED, ALMOST 30 MPH. THE SERVICE MANAGER CONTACTED THE INFINITI TECHNICAL SUPPORT GROUP AND EXPLAIN WHAT HE EXPERIENCED, AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL. SECTIONS 5-53 - 5-56 IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES UNDER THE WARNINGS "ON STEEP DOWNHILL ROADS THE VEHICLE MAY GO BEYOND THE SET VEHICLE SPEED AND FREQUENT BRAKING MAY RESULT IN OVERHEATING THE BRAKES".

WE HAVE HAD TWO ISSUES WITH OUR 2014 QX60. THE FIRST ISSUE WAS A SHUDDER PROBLEM WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE/HESITATE/FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL AT LOWER SPEEDS, AROUND CORNERS, ETC. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED IT WAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. THE SECOND ISSUE CAME ABOUT AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AND HAS YET TO BE FIXED. THE ACCELERATOR WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT WORK. THIS HAPPENS EITHER FROM A STOP ? I GO TO HIT THE GAS AND EITHER NOTHING HAPPENS OR THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD AND STOPS. I WILL PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN AND IT WILL WORK. THE OTHER TIME IS WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AND GO TO INCREASE YOUR SPEED ? YOU PRESS ON THE GAS AND THE RPM?S GO DOWN AND NOTHING HAPPENS. I PRESS ON THE GAS AGAIN AND NOTHING HAPPENS. I TRY AGAIN AND IT WILL KICK IN. THE DEALERSHIP HAD OUR CAR FOR 6 WEEKS FOR THE SECOND ISSUE AND CANNOT REPLICATE IT SO THEREFORE THEY WON?T DO ANYTHING FOR US. WE ARE NOW GOING THROUGH AN ARBITRATION PROGRAM REQUESTING A REPLACEMENT OF OUR VEHICLE AS IT SEEMS TO MEET LEMON LAW. WE HAVE AN UNSAFE UNPREDICTABLE VEHICLE THAT WE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON. WE ARE VERY UNHAPPY WITH INFINITY CORPORATE AS THEY OFFERED US $1,000 TO GO AWAY. THIS IS NOT ABOUT MONEY BUT ABOUT SAFETY ISSUES. INFINITY CORPORATE ALSO STATED THAT THE NUMBER OF TIMES OUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN SEEN FOR THE PROBLEM IS NOT UNREASONABLE. I BEG TO DIFFER AS HAVING OUR VEHICLE GONE FOR A FULL 6 WEEKS (AND THIS DOES NOT COUNT ALL THE OTHER TIMES IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE OTHER ISSUE) IS VERY UNREASONABLE. WE WERE TOLD WE HAD TO PICK UP OUR VEHICLE AFTER 6 WEEKS. TWO WEEKS LATER WE HAD THE ISSUE HAPPEN TWICE TO US SO WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE HESITANT TO ACCEPT THE VEHICLE TO THEIR REPAIR DEPARTMENT. THEY DID ACCEPT IT FINALLY BUT UNSURE WHAT THEY ARE EVEN DOING WITH THE VEHICLE AT THIS POINT. *TR
