July 2022 our 2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid at 59,000 miles started making this winding/grinding noise. We took it in and was told the transmission needs to be replaced on a car that is only driven under 7500K miles per year and is in otherwise perfect shape. There is an extended warranty for the non-hybrid models due to a class action suit. This is extremely dangerous and a very costly repair to the tune of $7,500. Infiniti is refusing to repair at this point.

Transmission requiring frequent replacement my transmission has been replaced twice in the past year and is currently experiencing issues again. Prior to the first replacement, the engine would stutter when operating at load speeds. After the first transmission replacement, the issue manufactured in dangerous situations. For example, when merging onto a highway, the car would not accelerate past 20 MPH or shift gears. I contacted infiniti corporate to file a formal complaint and they sent a 'transmission specialist' out to review the vehicle. It was determined that a security update from 2015 was not applied to the car. I'm not sure how a dealership service vehicle could be missing a 3 year old patch, but we will ignore that fact for now. Even with the security update, the car is exhibiting the same behavior. It is unfortunately not consistent though, so service hasn't been able to fix. These vehicles need to be recalled already for safety.

We have had repeated issues with the transmission failing on this vehicle. The vehicle will often not accelerate from a stop or to pass another vehicle. The transmission will shudder, jerk, and emits a high pitched whine. We have nearly had several accidents with this vehicle because it cannot get out of the way. The dealer replaced the transmission about 6 months ago and the problems are even worse now.

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.

I bought this SUV in may 2014. About two weeks after my wife and I both noticed that the vehicle shudders at 20 MPH when you apply gas. It started getting worse and we called the dealer who scheduled a review. They eventually installed a new transmission. We are about 4 weeks after this repair and are noticing the same issue again. There were also about four incidents where I would shift from park to drive and the transmission would not change into gear for over 10 seconds.....as though it was low on fluid or had a line blockage. I also noticed that when I'm driving at highway speed it and accelerate, sometimes it felt like the transmission was excessively downshifting. I see that this has also been a problem on the jx35 which is the same SUV as the qx60.
