Car is slipping and have had CV joints checked, fluids replaced. Was told it was the differential coupling. Looked it up and many, many others are having the same issue. This is a safety concern because the transmission is slipping on these cars when they get to 50,000+ miles.

transmission slip and jerk and it's hard to accelerate

Dear Infiniti Consumer Affairs, I am writing to express my concern about the recent transmission failure in my vehicle. This is the second time I have experienced a transmission failure in less than a year. The first transmission failure occurred on around May of 2023. The symptoms were as follows: The transmission gave out while on the highway, causing the vehicle to not start or drive. The transmission would not shift gears at 4000 RPMs unless I let off the gas and then gave it gas again. I took my vehicle to the dealership on sometime in May 2024, and they replaced the transmission after they tried to do a valve body that was recommended by the warranty department. Later, I was told that the failure was caused by a Faulty Transmission and was on recall notice. The second transmission failure occurred on 4/5/2024. The symptoms were as follows: The transmission would not shift gears at 4000 RPMs unless I let off the gas and then gave it gas again. The transmission would sometimes slip out of gear while driving. The transmission would make a grinding noise when shifting gears. My wife is taking the vehicle to the dealership on 04/08/2024, and they are currently diagnosing the problem. I am concerned that this is a recurring issue with my vehicle, and I am worried that it will continue to happen. I am also concerned about the safety of my vehicle, the safety of myself my wife and my kids as a transmission failure could cause both her and I to lose control while driving. I am requesting that you investigate this matter and take the necessary steps to resolve the issue. I would like to know what caused the transmission to fail, and I would like to know what steps can be taken to prevent it from happening again. I am also requesting that you provide me with a loaner vehicle while my vehicle is being repaired. my wife needs a vehicle for work, and she cannot afford to be without it. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. If you need to reach

Transmissions feels like it is 'slipping' when driving slow around 20-25 MPH/1000-1500 rpms. Makes car shudder/shake like it's running out of gas. Took to infiniti delearship - they could not replicate the issue and get a code. Was told this was just how the CVT transmission feels. Reprogrammed transmission - car still does it. Getting worse. Around 58k miles on car.

Transmission is slipping

Filed Jan 29, 2019 · Transmission · 93,000 miles · GA

Vehicle shutters/ jerks as if transmission is slipping when accelerating between 15-25 miles per hour. Fear that vehicle hesitation during acceleration is dangerous in traffic potentially causing driver to be hit by other cars. Noticed several complaints online regarding same concern with qx60 2014 model.

Several times a month this occurs. From a standstill, I press the accelerator to turn into traffic, and after the car initially moves forward, the car appears to slip out of gear even though it shows that it's in drive. The engine rpms rev with the accelerator pressed, but the car will not accelerate or move. Lifting up and re-pressing the accelerator only makes the tachometer rpms rev up, but after about 10 seconds, the car pops back into gear. When I pull out into traffic, I could cause a serious accident if my car will not accelerate and lies dead in the road! The dealer cannot replicate the problem because it only occurs a few times a month, but it has been going on for 12 months now. I also see dozens of online posts and complaints identical to this from other qx60 owners. This is a serious injury and death risk.
