2019 Infiniti QX60: CVT failure

Filed Oct 31, 2026 · Engine, Transmission · IL

Check engine light has been coming on and off intermittently for over a year; it has remained on continuously for the past several days. An OBD-II scan on October 30, 2026 at 67,484 miles recorded stored, pending and permanent codes P17F1 (CVT judder, clutch A hydraulic pressure), P0101 and C1130. I have reported CVT judder/shudder under light acceleration to the INFINITI dealer multiple times: September 15, 2025, March 23, 2026, and October 10, 2026. Each time I was told the concern could not be duplicated, and on October 10, 2026 a CVT fluid drain and refill was flagged due by time and mileage on the multipoint inspection and deferred. The judder symptom is now confirmed by a stored P17F1. All of this was reported while the vehicle was under the INFINITI Elite CPO warranty, which expired August 16, 2026 at only 67,500 miles of its 100,000-mile allowance. This is the same INFINITI CVT covered by service bulletin ITB15-012i for judder diagnosis and repair on 2014-2018 QX60 models, and by the $277.7 million CVT class settlement that extended warranty coverage to 96 months on 2015-2018 QX60s; the 2019 model year is excluded from both. Code C1130 (ABS module reporting engine signal fault) is also stored; INFINITI recall R1917 (the federal safety agency 19V‑807) covers ABS actuator inspection on 2017-2019 QX60 vehicles. The vehicle is currently being diagnosed again by the dealer and a goodwill request will been requested.

At the end of XXX I noticed that my 2019 Infiniti QX60 was starting to jerk when I accelerated. At first it was an intermittent jerking but on or about XXX it was happening more often. I took my vehicle in that day to get the oil changed and mentioned the problem to the manager at the shop. When the mechanic did a scanned diagnostic test on it he said it was a fuel pump problem and he recommended I get the fuel pump replaced. The shop completed the fuel pump replacement on XXX but when I picked up the vehicle it was still jerking. I called the shop when I got home and conveyed that the problem still existed. I took the vehicle back to the shop on XXX and after sharing this information with the manager and mechanic: [XXX] the manager called me back later in the day and said the error codes from the YouTube video I shared with them surprisingly show up on the next diagnostic scan! I picked up my vehicle that afternoon but couldn’t speak to either one of them because they left before I arrived. They asked me to wait an hour before picking up the vehicle so “the fluid could thicken up”! I have since emailed the manager about them guaranteeing their work because they misdiagnosed the problem. I paid approximately $1125 to replace the fuel pump and my CVT transmission went out when I was driving home after picking up the vehicle on XXX.I have about 142K+ miles on the vehicle. I get my oil changed when directed but have dealt with an oil leak in the past and had an electrical problem about six months ago.

Cvt transmission failing, started @ 113000 miles, trying to work with Infiniti consumer affairs, they have required me to bring the car into their shop for diag. When i purchased the vehicle 2/26/2022, include with the car was an extended warranty for 6 years unlimited miles. They dated the contract back to the manufacturer date in 1/31/2019 and expired on 1/31/2025. I’ve opened a case with Infiniti USA case# 56866430. I feel they have never fixed their CVT transmission issue and it causing consumer undue cost and stress.

My 2019 Infiniti QX60 (VIN [XXX] ) experienced a sudden transmission failure at 99,995 miles. The vehicle would no longer shift into gear and became undriveable. The dealer found diagnostic code P2813 – Pressure Control Solenoid G, indicating internal transmission failure. The repair estimate is $8,369.87. This appears to be part of a known pattern of CVT failures affecting Infiniti/Nissan vehicles, including the QX60. Earlier models (2015–2018) had warranty extensions for similar CVT defects. This failure occurred without warning and poses a major safety hazard, as the vehicle could not accelerate or be driven. My wife was pulling out of the parking area after picking up my [XXX] and as soon as she pulled out and shifted it to drive it would not. Ended up with a vehicle almost hitting them, which was a close call. After shifting it back-and-forth it finally went into gear and took it straight to the service center. The service center even said that they had to tow it into the garage because it would not go into gear any longer. I am requesting the federal safety agency investigate whether this transmission defect affects 2019 and later QX60 models and whether a recall or manufacturer remedy is warranted.

Transmission failure. The CVT transmission did not engage in gear while driving (on the highway!) I was able to drive in "limp mode" to reputable mechanic in the area. The mechanic flushed the CVT fluid, changed the filters and checked all the electronic codes, but the problem persists. The vehicle will require a new transmission or a rebuild.
