2014 Infiniti QX60 Engine Problems

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.

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

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 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.

A few years ago, while in stop and start traffic on a hill, i experienced the hybrid engine and regular engine failure multiple times. Infiniti replaced my transmission. I have yet to recreate the same stop/start situation on a hill but have smelled the same smell of burning while in stop start traffic on a highway. Now infiniti has issues a recall for this very issue. I'm wondering what constitutes a "reasonable time" for infiniti to provide a solution as this is going on 6 months. I'm very concerned that my car is particularly vulnerable to this failure as it has occurred before. Yes, there was a warning that the hybrid system was overheating and then it died not much longer after the warning.

Purchased my QX60 3 months ago from a used dealership. Today while out of town, car abruptly stopped accelerating. I pushed to safety, let it sit, car began to start moving again. Within a short min, it was right back to shutting off and being stuck in traffic with 4 minor passengers. This is very dangerous and seemingly a more common issue than just me. The day after my wedding…. And I’m towing my car.

Car jerks while changing gears. It sometimes hesitates when you step on the gas and often it feels like it "bangs" into gear when it finally does change. It feels like there is a transmission problem. However there does not appear to be any recalls for this. We've had fluid flushes and changes in an effort to fix the problem but it continues to be an issue.

THE CAR WILL STAY BETWEEN 2000 RPM TO 4000 WITH S AS LOUD NOISE

MY CAR IS SHAKING AND THE TRANSMISION IS ACTING UP TOO WHEN YOU DRIVE THE CAR START TO PULL LIKE THE $%*& IS NOT GOING IN
