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.

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.

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.

When I purchased the car no warning lights or problems were wrong with it it drove fine. The same day I got it home which is an hour away, the check engine light came on so i called them back. I took car back to shop and told them the code said it was the converter they said that was not right and it was just bad gas put in it so they reset engine light. As soon as i got back home the engine light came back on and then all the power locks on the doors stopped working. I took it to meinieke in greenville in which they said my converter went bad and that is why the engine light was on. Then they said it must have been in water because it was severe rust underneath the hood. and it effected electrical system. However, none of this information was on the car fax report. no flood damage, no repairs etc. Also none of this was occurring

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.

I have three issues that I have had within 3 days of buying this certified pre-owned jx35. (1) the vehicle information display (I.e., dashboard panel) stopped working while driving on a major city route leaving me without turn signal capabilities, speedometer, fuel gauge and any vehicle information such as tire pressure, maintenance, etc. The display came back on later and so did the malfunction indicator light. The local infiniti dealership repaired the problem under warranty by replacing a "combination meter." (2) I received a call from a parts representative at the local infiniti dealership who stated that a part associated with the occupant classification system (ocs) recall would be in soon and I should make an appointment to get the ocs repaired. I was a little shocked because during the sales process I specifically asked the sales rep about the recall and was told that the recall issue had been taken care of. Based on what the infiniti sales rep told me, I was operating the car under the false assumption that my passengers would be safe. Until the ocs is repaired (and nobody seems to know when the ocs parts will actually be in), I have no choice but to put passengers in the back seats as it is a potential danger to drive with a passenger in the front with a deactivated passenger airbag. (3) the illuminated kick place on the driver's side was replaced under warranty.
