Vehicle power steering and "PS" light, check engine light, and master warning light came on. Got it to Auto Zone for diagnostic tag and report says power steering needs to be replaced. There is a build up and the liquid is not going where it should, it is backing up and over flowing. Suggested to take the vehicle to the dealer there may be a recall because he's seen approximately 20 vehicles same issue.

Since 4/4/2025 unresolved CVT transmission repair 4 replacement CVT transmission have failed, each time order for the repair they have failed with the same problem or different problems with the CVT transmission, •Despite assurances that the repairs were properly completed, I have experienced the ongoing issues – e.g., The gears jumped •The car wouldn’t accelerate past 20 mph •When placed in park, the transmission felt unstable •A check engine light/code appeared •4 Transmission order and all have failed to fix the problem As of 6/27/2025 the reorder of replacements CVT transmission have failed. This an infiniti problem
The CVT unit is causing hard acceleration and jerking randomly. The CVT unit has a notification a few years ago on this model up to a certain mileage which I believe was 99,000 miles. My vechile just reached 113,000 miles and I am having this problem. It is safety and dangerous issue for me because I have been in traffic making turns when the acceleration seems to not go to gear and I almost caused an accident.
The car is not engaging when going from 1st to all gears, the car feels very shaky and unstable
The contact owns a 2014 Infiniti QX60. The contact stated while driving at approximately 60 MPH, the front passenger’s side wheel detached from the axle and was lodged inside the wheel well. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to drive the vehicle to a parking lot and then had the vehicle towed to a dealer. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the rear coupler and the front passenger side tire needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that while driving off the dealer lot the vehicle was hesitating and jerking into gear and was bouncing. The contact stopped and turned the vehicle off and observed smoke coming from under the hood. The contact was informed by the dealer that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not diagnosed and was not repaired. The contact had the vehicle towed from the dealer to the residence. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 99,536.
Vehicle has a CVT transmission and it failed around 87,000 miles. Both catalytic converters had to be replaced at this same time. When using assisted cruise control, the vehicle slams on the brake causing all passengers to jolt forward and vehicles behind to have to swerve not to hit me from behind. False automatic braking when passing a large vehicle. Engine constantly having issues and codes causing poor acceleration and jerking at low speeds. MAF sensor has failed twice in 5 months. Overall worst manufactured vehicle and very unsafe for driver and citizens.
When the vehicle slows from cruising speed to below 20 mph, the car shakes violently and the engine nearly stops. To avoid the shaking, I must place the vehicle in neutral until it comes to a complete stop. If I shift into drive before I stop, the vehicle shudders again. When in traffic, it could cause the vehicle to be rear-ended. My wife won't drive the vehicle because of this. Owners' Forum seems to indicate this is a common problem and may be related to [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
When accelerating the car jerks and shudders. I took it for an inspection and it was code P17F0, the mechanic said it was a safety recall because of this problem.
The vehicle constantly shudders and almost stalls when in reverse or in low gear. The vehicle seems to not switch properly between the hybrid battery to the engine or vice-versa. The vehicle has a recall from October 2021 and Infiniti has not fixed the recall yet. I feel the vehicle is unsafe. I have emailed and contacted Infiniti to no avail. Infiniti has not remedied this recall in any fashion in almost a year.
I took it in for recall R21B4 to be reprogrammed and problem fixed. The problem still persist as I’m driving the vehicle loses all driving power which is dangerous while it has happened to me while driving on the express way. Infiniti is telling me i need to bring it back in to have my vehicle checked out and wants to charge me 186$ when the recall clearly states that the problem is the recall
