2017 Infiniti QX60 Complaints

Driving West on I8 from AZ into San Diego my vehicle would lose all ability to accelerate and start decelerating on the upward climbs of the Crestwood Summit highway pass through the Cuyamaca Mountains. Not only it would continue to lose complete driving power and we had to pull over many time to turn the car off and let it sit for 10 minutes. It was not over heated and no lights were on with any indication of failure. During decents and on plateaus it resumed its completely normal functioning. I immediately brought it in to Oceanside CA Infiniti where they told me they don’t know what it wrong so they can’t fix it and I have to basically drive back to AZ through the mountains again and break down (it’s 115 degrees and almost 1.5 hours in both directions to any town) to figure out what was wrong. It’s incredibly dangerous and clearly not safe

The vehicle shudders and the transmission shifts up and down and has a high squeal when driving. The transmission does this cold and at operating temperature.

The contact owns a 2017 Infiniti QX60. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled without warning. The contact stated that he was approaching an exit at the time and was able to coast the vehicle off the freeway into a parking area where the vehicle failed to restart. The contact stated that there were several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence and later towed to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the alternator, and corrosion on the battery terminals. The vehicle had been repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 142,000.

WHEN GETTING VEHICLE OUT OF SPOT AND TURNING WHEEL TO LEFT REAR VEHICLE VIBRATING/BINDING. DEALER INFORMED REAR COUPLER NEEDED TO CHANGED. I FOUND THERE IS ALREADY RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR SAME MODEL BUT SOME REASON MY VIN DOES NOT QUALIFY.

We bought the car used at about 24,000 miles. No engine lights were on. After about a month of owning it smoke would come from the exhaust when started. Took it in to be look at and was told it was a fuel injector and it was replaced. No more issues for about 6 months when it suddenly lost power on the interstate at dawn barley made it to the side of the road without getting ran over. Had to have it towed to a shop where I was told it was a bad coil and they replaced it. Went to pick the car up and less than a mile down the road it lost power again. Took it down for Infiniti to look at it. They said it had previously had engine sludge and that the warranty was voided because of it. After online searches, this seems to be a regular occurrence for this year and model. They recommend a new Engine for $14,000. Now stuck with a vehicle that won’t run with a monthly payment I’m making on it.
