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.

Like most of the issues everyone has been speaking to, we noticed that the transmission started to have a "shudder" looping at lower RPM/speeds. The vehicle had just over 106K miles on it luckily the vehicle had an extended warranty on it and the warranty covered the cost to replace it with a reman. transmission. I fully agree with everyone else, if this is a known issue for multiple year and cross over models, Nissan/Infiniti needs to make it right. These CVT transmissions are known to have problems and are costly to repair.

The problem: Affected vehicles may exhibit a shudder or vibration while in gear. This may be due to a faulty continously variable automatic transmission, drivechain or valve body inside the transmission. Vehicles affected by this service campaign: 2013 Infiniti JX35 2014 Infiniti QX60 2015 Infiniti QX60 I’ve Dealt with infinity hundreds of times. They even had a mechanic take the car home and he experienced the same thing. Still nothing been done. You can google the problem and no one has got it fixed. As soon as your warranty ends then they say you need a new transmission. I’m still under warranty I’m at 90,000 miles , as it gets closer to Hundred thousand miles. I’m sure then there going to say I’m Going to need a new transmission. The problem if I need to cross the street and a car if coming at a distance my car flutters to cross the street almost wrecking several times.
