Transmission has a shudder between 15-20 mph around 1000-1500 rpm. Mainly happens in std mode, other modes run at higher rpms but does still happen on occasion.
Supplemental air bag warning light is on. Also the passenger airbag light is on.
255/50r20- i have done every service at the dealership except one (last one). I was told all 4 tires were worn out and they refused to rotate tires, took it to another place and was told the same. Vehicle has 27,000 and both places told me it was very unsusual. Called dealership and they directed me to bridgestone which refused to help as well claiming tires from manufacturer have no warranty. Makes no sense!
The electric controlled coupling failed and as a result, the awd failed. There is vibration when turning and driving 25 mph. The grinding noise remained after i got new brakes and i was told it’s from the coupling trying to power the awd. I took my 2016 qx60 to the dealer and also to a foreign car auto shop and they both confirmed it needs to be replaced. When the coupling is unplugged, the noise is not present.

In moderate to heavy rain, the windshield wiper pushes water onto the drivers side window. This water then streaks diagonally down across the window, blurring the view through the drivers side mirror. I experienced this in two cars, once on the test drive on [xxx] in dublin, and once driving through the [xxx] in rainy conditions. Rain is when you need visibility to be good. I have not experienced this in any other car i have driven. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6)
The qx60, and possibly many other infiniti models has a serious flaw in the apple car play and android auto features. This affects my model year of 2022 but i understand from other owners it is like still an issue on model year 2023 and 2024 and likely others. The issue is there are not adequate volume adjustments for paired phones with apple car play and android auto. If you adjust the paired audio on the car's infotainment system for a phone call, then the next call that comes in will sound a deafining ringer volume. If you turn down the volume for a normal ringer volume then the audio volume on the call is so low you can't have a conversation. This may seem like a non issue, however, when a call comes in and the volume is at its previous level for a phone call, it is so startling it causes all passengers to jump and hold their ears. At least a half a dozen times this has startled me to the point where i inadvertanlty swerved across my lane bounder quickly trying to find the volume control to adjust the ringer down or answer the call. I have spoke to infiniti dealers and their engineering support. They unfortunatley are denying an issue exist when it is very obvious. All other cars i have owned with apple car play have not acted this way. In addition, many owners on the forums are documenting similar issues and similar reactions of inadvertanly braking or swerving. I hope someone in the ntsb will test this in an infiniti to understand how serious the issue is
On [xxx] took the car into the infiniti dealership for the routine oil change with potential issue with timing chain noise on cold startup. The dealership explained that the warranty will not cover drivetrain. After the oil change and driving the car back home, the “check engine” light came on. I contacted infiniti regarding the drivetrain problems that consumers are seeing with this engine and cvt. The chain noise i hear and the video i shared during our appointment. Many are reporting the timing chain noise, sludge and cvt problems, starting at 85k miles. I wasn’t happy with infiniti response on life of a drivetrain. Why would anyone pay $60k on a car if you its design to run only 100k miles, i would have purchased a $20k car instead. In fact, i have a acura rdx with 200k miles with no drivetrain issues. " email send to infiniti consumer affairs. Hello dennis, per our conversation regarding the powertrain warranty and my concern regarding industrial standard of a premium luxury vehicle design and life. I don’t agree with infiniti position that at 135k miles is a full life of an engine and the problems with powertrain ( p0017 and 17f1cvt) is a common issue. No other vehicle will have engine failure and transmission failure at 135k miles. I have other vehicle that drive beyond 250k miles ( (nissan maxima and acura rdx at 200k miles), that had routine maintenance and repair, but never engine or transmission problem. I perform regular maintenance on all my cars since age 16. It’s a shame that a high end vehicle customer has to face these major repair. I believe the 2017 infinti qx60 with cvt is a faulty design. It is a design related issue, which infiniti should recall and correct. Many of the infiniti consumer forums that i have read on this subject, suggest a similar performance and potential disaster at 90-120k miles.

The whole vehicle experiences strong vibrations when accelerating to 30 miles per hour and higher. It also gives strong judder or kicks when turning. Hard to control the vehicle at high speeds. No warning light is on. Took the vehicle to a local dealer (houston southwest infiniti) and found that the problem was caused by a defective rear differential coupler.
