Vehicle began ticking in early 2023. Then received check engine light and trouble codes p0014 and p0017. Took to infiniti dealership. Dealership claimed "sludge - you did not change oil regularly, " which i did - either at valvoline, wal-mart, or by myself. Multiple online forums about infiniti qx60 indicate all the dealership mechanics are saying the same thing to customers who are having this issue. Dealership claimed vehicle would need new engine priced at over $17,000!! They are doing this nationwide and globally. Infiniti knows there is an engine defect leading to sludge and failed engine. My engine did fail in april 2024, but thankfully in my home driveway and not at high speeds - this would have been deadly had it happened on a major highway!
