Approximately 18,633 miles later, the vehicle began experiencing transmission malfunction symptoms consistent with CVT failure. An independent mechanic diagnosed the CVT transmission as needing replacement.

The car was at 103,900 miles at this time. At this time the warranty coverage was for 72,000 miles and not extended to 120,000 miles yet. I paid for the replacement of the engine on 9/5/2025. I later got a recall notice and it said that the warranty engine coverage had been extended to 120,000 miles and that I would get reimbursed for repairs. I never got reimbursed after I submitted a reimbursement claim form through Infiniti assist. I keep getting the run around at Infiniti Consumer Affairs. I submitted a Lemon Law claim and the arbitrator is showing a lot of bias and I keep getting the run around as well. No arbitration meeting has been scheduled. I now got a 2nd recall notice on January 29,2026 stating that the engine oil pan needs to be checked for metal debris and it’s possible that engi...
