2013 Infiniti JX35: complete transmission failure

Filed Feb 18, 2024 · Transmission · OH

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 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.

While driving, the car suddenly started shuddering and making a loud grinding sound. We were in the fast lane amd the car slowed quickly. We were able to pull off the road, where the car stopped moving. We had to wait for a tow. Upon researching I found that there is a known issue with jx35 2013 transmissions, I prayed we were eligible for it. I took it to the dealer where they diagnosed it as a internal CVT transmission fail. The entire transmission needs to be replaced, a $5249.42 cents fix. A fix that I will have to take a loan out for. I called infiniti corporate to find out why my car was not eligible for the known CVT transmission replacement...they said it was by VIN number. Having my car suddenly shut down while in a fast moving lane was scary and I would like an investigation as to why infiniti is not fixing their CVT transmission issues instead of passing it on to their customers.
