2013 Infiniti JX Complaint Log

PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR - INDICATING OFF WITH ADULT IN SEAT. I SEARCHED ANY RECALL ON THE VIN OON "HTTPS://VINRCL.SAFERCAR.GOV/VIN/"TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY RECALL, BUT 0 RECALLS.

I HAVE THREE ISSUES THAT I HAVE HAD WITHIN 3 DAYS OF BUYING THIS CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED JX35. (1) THE VEHICLE INFORMATION DISPLAY (I.E., DASHBOARD PANEL) STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR CITY ROUTE LEAVING ME WITHOUT TURN SIGNAL CAPABILITIES, SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAUGE AND ANY VEHICLE INFORMATION SUCH AS TIRE PRESSURE, MAINTENANCE, ETC. THE DISPLAY CAME BACK ON LATER AND SO DID THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT. THE LOCAL INFINITI DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY BY REPLACING A "COMBINATION METER." (2) I RECEIVED A CALL FROM A PARTS REPRESENTATIVE AT THE LOCAL INFINITI DEALERSHIP WHO STATED THAT A PART ASSOCIATED WITH THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) RECALL WOULD BE IN SOON AND I SHOULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE OCS REPAIRED. I WAS A LITTLE SHOCKED BECAUSE DURING THE SALES PROCESS I SPECIFICALLY ASKED THE SALES REP ABOUT THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL ISSUE HAD BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. BASED ON WHAT THE INFINITI SALES REP TOLD ME, I WAS OPERATING THE CAR UNDER THE FALSE ASSUMPTION THAT MY PASSENGERS WOULD BE SAFE. UNTIL THE OCS IS REPAIRED (AND NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW WHEN THE OCS PARTS WILL ACTUALLY BE IN), I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PUT PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEATS AS IT IS A POTENTIAL DANGER TO DRIVE WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT WITH A DEACTIVATED PASSENGER AIRBAG. (3) THE ILLUMINATED KICK PLACE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 INFINITI JX35. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

AT 36,000 MILES, MY JX35'S TRANSFER CASE CRACKED AND IT WAS REPAIRED BY INFINITI UNDER WARRANTEE. THE INDICATION OF THE PROBLEM WAS A RUBBING IN THE WHEELS, I HEARD A SNAP AND THE CAR BASICALLY DIED. LUCKILY I WAS ON THE STREET ON WHICH WE LIVE. AT 80,750 MILES, THE TRANSFER CASE CRACKED AGAIN. THE SIGNAL THIS TIME WAS A WHIRRING OF THE TRANSMISSION WITH LEAKING OF DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. WITH THE CAR OUT OF WARRANTEE, WE TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST (BONDED TRANSMISSION, FRAMINGHAM, MA) TO ENSURE IT WOULD BE REPAIRED ADEQUATELY. THEY BASICALLY NEEDED TO REBUILD THE VEHICLES TRANSMISSION. WE JUST PICKED IT UP TODAY AND FINGERS ARE CROSSED THAT THE PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. THE COST TO REPAIR WAS $2999.83. DOCUMENTATION OF BOTH REPAIRS IS ATTACHED. THIS WAS A MAJOR REPAIR ON EACH OCCASION. FORTUNATELY, THE FIRST TIME, I WAS ALONE IN THE CAR, ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND THERE WAS NOT INCIDENT. THE SECOND TIME, WE NOTICED THE LEAK IN THE DRIVEWAY. I'M CONCERNED THAT IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, WE WON'T BE SO LUCKY. INFINITI SHOULD BE ASHAMED AT PRODUCING SUCH AN INFERIOR PRODUCT.

WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP ON A CITY STREET DOWNWARD INCLINE THE BRAKES WILL FADE AND THE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER WILL FIRE. SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO INTELLIGENT BRAKE ASSIST OR ABS SYSTEM. I HAVE READ ABOUT OTHERS HAVING THE IDENTICAL OR SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON LINE BUT INFINITY ACTS LIKE THEY NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO RESOLUTION OF THE ISSUE. WE GET THE RUN AROUND FROM INFINITY CONSUMER SUPPORT.

WAS ACCELERATING AFTER MAKING A TURN, CAR REFUSED TO ACCELERATE. ACTUAL SPEED OF CAR ~15MPH ODOMETER REPORTED 40MPH, 5 SECONDS LATER ODOMETER JUMPED FROM 40MPH - 60MPH CAR IS GOING ABOUT ~30MPH. THE CAR IS MAKING EXTREMELY LOUD TRANSMISSION NOISES BUT NOT ACCELERATING THE GAS PEDAL IS TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE CAR REFUSING TO ACCELERATE INTERMITTENTLY.

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SEAT SENSORS ARE CALIBRATED WRONG. IT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE MY 105 POUND WIFE AS A PERSON, AND THEREFORE TURNS THE AIRBAG OFF. I RAISED THIS ISSUE WITH INFINITI AT LEAST 3 YEARS AGO, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT SHE MUST JUST BE SITTING ON THE SEAT WRONG. WELL, JUST ABOUT A MONTH AGO, THEY FINALLY ISSUED A RECALL. WE TOOK THE CAR IN TODAY TO GET IT FIXED, AND THEY TOLD US THE FIX WOULDN'T BE READY UNTIL SEPTEMBER. MEANWHILE, MY WIFE IS PREGNANT AND HAS NO AIRBAG IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. INFINITI NEEDS TO GET A RECALL FIX READY IMMEDIATELY.

REF: NTHSA RECALL 16V-244 PART 573 OF APRIL 28, 2016 STATING I WOULD RECEIVE AN "INTERIM NOTIFICATION LETTER" WITHIN 60 DAYS. DID NOT RECEIVE. IT HAS BEEN NEARLY SIX MONTHS AND DEALER STATES PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. GIVEN THIS IS A FAILURE OF THE OCS, IS THIS VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE?

TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOTICING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG NOTIFICATION IS OFF WHEN SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I DECIDED TO SEARCH THE VIN TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 INFINITI JX. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

The problem: Affected vehicles may exhibit a shudder or vibration while in gear. This may be due to a faulty continously variable automatic transmission, drivechain or valve body inside the transmission. Vehicles affected by this service campaign: 2013 Infiniti JX35 2014 Infiniti QX60 2015 Infiniti QX60 I’ve Dealt with infinity hundreds of times. They even had a mechanic take the car home and he experienced the same thing. Still nothing been done. You can google the problem and no one has got it fixed. As soon as your warranty ends then they say you need a new transmission. I’m still under warranty I’m at 90,000 miles , as it gets closer to Hundred thousand miles. I’m sure then there going to say I’m Going to need a new transmission. The problem if I need to cross the street and a car if coming at a distance my car flutters to cross the street almost wrecking several times.

AFTER SERVICING, AS IN RECALL. IN APRIL 2016 FOR AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON WITH FULL WEIGHT PERSON IN PASSENGER SEAT, THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.

SUNROOF SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 INFINITI JX35. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,644. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 INFINITI JX35. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REAPIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

MY JX35 HAS INTERMITTENT STALLING. LIKE A STUTTER WHERE THE GEARS HAVE TROUBLE ENGAGING. ESPECIALLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR GOING UP HILL. IT HAS DONE THIS FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS WITH NO CODES EVER BEING THROWN FROM DEALERSHIP CHECKUPS UNTIL NOW. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S A CVT ERROR. MY DAUGHTER HAS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA WHICH IS HAVING A SIMILAR ISSUE AND IT IS BEING INVESTIGATED AND FULLY COVERED BY NISSAN. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE COVERED AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 INFINITI JX. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUTTER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PRIORITY INFINITI OF GREENBRIER (1812 GREENBRIER PKWY, CHESAPEAKE, VA 23320) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE TRANSMISSION NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED A WEEK LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER THREE MORE TIMES TO GET DIAGNOSED IN WHICH THE ALTERNATOR AND SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE STILL CONTINUED HOWEVER, THE LAST TIME THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SMOKE AND WAS CURRENTLY AND THE DEALER AWAITING DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRS. THE CONTACT STATED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

VEHICLE CONTINUES TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON, DESPITE THE PASSENGER SEAT BEING OCCUPIED BY ADULT PASSENGER. DEALERSHIP AND INFINITI TECH HAVE BEEN SHOWN VIDEOS, YET THEY REPEATEDLY SAY "CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM". WE HAVE ASKED FOR A BUY BACK, AND HAVE BEEN DENIED (TWICE). CONSUMER AFFAIRS WILL PROVIDE NO EXPLANATION, BUT REPEATEDLY SAYS IT IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS... INFINITI DOES NOT CARE! AS WITH OTHERS ON HERE, THEY HAVE TOLD US TO MAKE SURE WE READ THE MANUAL ON HOW TO "PROPERLY SIT IN THE SEAT" AND IF IT DOESN'T WORK TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON TO "RECALIBRATE". REALLY? $40,000+ VEHICLE AND YOU HAVE TO SIT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN IT ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES JUST TO GET IT TO WORK THE WAY IT SHOULD? THEY ALSO TOLD US THAT YOU CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING IN THE SEATBACK POCKET (THEN WHY HAVE A SEATBACK POCKET?). REGARDLESS, WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN AT LEAST 10 TIMES NOW AND HAVE DONE EXACTLY WHAT THEY HAVE TOLD US TO DO AND IT STILL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. UNFORTUNATELY, IT LOOKS LIKE THE ONLY WAY THEY WILL DO ANYTHING IS WHEN SOMEONE IS KILLED BECAUSE THEIR SYSTEM DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. NHTSA, PLEASE DO SOMETHING! THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND THEY AREN'T LISTENING. MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE REASON THEY WON'T DO A BUYBACK IS BECAUSE THIS IS A "KNOWN" ISSUE AND THERE WOULD BE TOO MANY TO BUY BACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 INFINITI JX35. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED TO FUNCTION. IN ADDITION, THE ODOMETER, THE FUEL GAUGE, AND THE TACHOMETER BECAME INOPERATIVE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT ANY SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHILE DRIVING ON HWY 49 SOUTH OF JACKSON, MS, WITH NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF HER AND NOTHING OVERHEAD, THE SUNROOF OF MY WIFE'S CAR EXPLODED WITH A LOUD BANG, CAUSING A REPAIR BILL OF OVER $1200.00.

MY 2013 JX35 AUTOMATIC TRUNK RELEASE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN I INITIATE THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE TRUNK IT OPENS COMPLETELY AND IMMEDIATELY STARTS TO CLOSE EVEN IF SOMEONE IS IN THE TRUNK AREA WHICH ITS SUPPOSE TO REBOUND. I HAVE TO PHYSICALLY STOP THE TRUNK FROM CLOSING ON ME AND THIS IS NOT AN EASY TASK SINCE THE HYDRAULICS AND WEIGHT OF THE TRUNK IS HEAVY.

The contact owns a 2013 Infiniti JX35. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the transmission failed to operate as designed. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed with transmission failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 2,000.

VEHICLE DIED WHILE DRIVING IN PARKING LOT AND ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS BEGAN TO STROBE WITH AN AWD FAILURE LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND THE FRONT SEATS STARTED MOVING. VEHICLE BATTERY DIED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN TOW AND HAS BEEN AT DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS. PREVIOUS PROBLEMS (WITHIN DAYS) INCLUDE SEAT MEMORY NOT PAIRING WITH KEY, KEY NOT WORKING TO UNLOCK HATCH. *TR

MY WIFE BROUGHT THIS VEHICLES AND REALLY DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT HAS A LEMON LAW TITLE ON IT, UNTIL WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER EXPLAIN WHAT SHE HAS BROUGHT, AND THE DEALER SAY THE VEHICLE HAS NO VALUE, FOR TRADE OR SELL. WE HAVE 18,600 MILES IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, SO WE WOULD LIKE TO EITHER GET A ANOTHER TITLE OR WHAT NEED TO BE FIX SO WE DON'T HAVE TO SUE ANYONE, THAT SHOULD HAD EXPLAIN WHAT SHE WAS BUYING AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 INFINITI JX35. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V138000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON THREE OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR WAS MADE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED; HOWEVER, ANOTHER MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE SEAT CUSHION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE ADEQUATELY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I PARKED IN MY DRIVE-WAY ABOUT 9PM ON SUN, NOV 22, 2014. UPON EXITING THE CAR, I SMELT AND SAW FAINT SMOKE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. I WALKED TO THAT SIDE AND SAW ORANGE FIRE BEHIND THE FOG LIGHT IN THE LOWER PASSENGER BUMPER (INSIDE WHERE THE BUMPER HAS A FLAT LEDGE). I RAN IN THE HOUSE FOR A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND MY HUSBAND AND WE TRIED TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE SEVERAL TIMES, BUT IT WOULD RE-IGNITE. WHEN WE REALIZED WE COULD NOT EXTINGUISH, WE CALLED 911 FOR THE FIRE DEPT. WE ALSO RECONNECTED THE WATER HOSE TO KEEP RUNNING WATER OVER THE FIRE (THE HOSE AND PIPES HAD ALREADY BEEN WRAPPED FOR WINTER SO IT TOOK A FEW MINUTES). WHEN WE RETURNED TO THE CAR, THE FIRE HAD GROWN AND FLAMES STARTED TO COME OUT OF THE GAP BETWEEN THE QUARTER-PANEL AND HOOD. THE WATER KEPT THE FIRE UNDER CONTROL UNDER THE FIRE DEPT ARRIVED. THE FIREMEN ASKED IF I HAD ANY RECENT WORK DONE ON THE CAR AS THEY BELIEVED THE FIRE WAS ELECTRICAL. I THEN REALIZED I HAD JUST HAD A SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGE DONE AND THE PASSENGER FOG LIGHT REPLACED THE WEEK BEFORE ON SAT, NOV 15, 2014. THE FIREMEN MENTIONED THERE MAY HAVE BEEN EXCESS GREASE LEFT ON THE BULB WHEN CHANGED AND THAT MAY BE WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE, BUT IT IS STILL UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME. I HAVE CONTACTED THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND MY INSURANCE AND BOTH HAVE HIRED C&I SPECIALIST TO TRY TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT TO SEE IF ANYONE WITH MY VEHICLE HAS HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE HAPPEN TO THEM TO HELP DETERMINE IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE OR RECALL ISSUE. ANY COMMENTS OR RESEARCH SUPPORT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS DISABLED BY THE SENSOR INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER DID NOT WEIGH ENOUGH TO ACTIVATE. THE PASSENGER WEIGHS 200LBS. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN CONTACTED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEMS 4 TIMES SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. THE AIRBAG SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND A RECALL WAS PERFORMED TO RECALIBRATE THE SENSOR. DESPITE THESE EFFORTS, THE PROBLEM REMAINS. INFINITI IS UNABLE TO CORRECT THIS POTENTIALLY FATAL PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 INFINITI JX35. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL SOUND ONCE THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V445000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000.

MY JX HAS TIGHTENED THE SEAT BELTS IN THE FRONT SO HARD THAT IT PULLED ME AND MY PASSENGER BACK INTO OUR SEATS, THE MOTOR ENGAGED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE BRAKES GO VERY SOFT BEFORE THE SET BELTS TIGHTEN. I HAVE ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION A FEW TIMES. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS. I CALLED INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. I ASKED FOR THE ISSUE TO BE ESCALATED ON THE INFINITI SIDE. THE CAR SHOULD NOT FEEL LIKE IT IS NOT GOING TO STOP. THIS ISSUE DID NOT HAPPEN ALL IN THE SAME PLACE, IT HAPPENED IN 4 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS IN SAN ANTONIO AND 4 OF THE TIMES, THERE WAS NOT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM ON THIS CAR. MAYBE THIS IS RELATED TO THE SAFETY SYSTEMS? MAYBE THE CAR THINKS IT IS GOING TO BE IN A CRASH, BUT IF THAT WAS THE CASE, WOULDN'T THE MOTOR KICK IN AND STOP THE CAR? *TR

ABOUT 11/05/2014, I BEGAN GETTING A FLASHING LIGHT, RED ALTERNATING WITH WHITE - WITH A TRIANGLE IN THE MIDDLE WHICH HAS AN ICON OF A VEHICLE IN THE CENTER - IN MY DRIVER INFORMATION SCREEN. IT IS APPROX 3" LONG X 1" HIGH. IT IS ACCOMPANIED BY AN INSISTENT AUDIO BEEP. IT IS IN THE PLACE ON THIS SCREEN WHERE I GET AN SMALL YELLOW/ORANGE ICON OF A CAR WHEN I AM APPROACHING A CAR (STATIONARY OR MOVING SLOWER,) QUICKER THAN MY VEHICLE THINKS I SHOULD. THIS LIGHT DOES NOT APPEAR IN MY MANUAL.THIS SIGNAL APPEARS RANDOMLY AND WITH NO VEHICLE IN FRONT AND OFTEN ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD WITH NO TRAFFIC. IT HAPPENS DAY/NIGHT, ANY WEATHER, ANY SPEED AND ON HIGHWAY AND RESIDENTIAL ROADS. I BELIEVE IT IS TRYING TO WARN ME OF AN IMPENDING COLLISION AND I FEAR IT WILL EITHER SLOW OR STOP MY VEHICLE WHEN COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE. MY VEHICLE HAS COLLISION AVOIDANCE AND ALL SORTS OF OTHER TECHNOLOGY. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH MY DEALER (AUTOPLACE INFINITI AND THEN INFINITI OF WILLIAMSVILLE WHEN WESTHERR TOOK OVER THE DEALERSHIP) SINCE 12/09/14. IT HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE MANY TIMES TRYING TO GET TO THE ROOT OF THE ISSUE. AT FIRST I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM DOESN'T EXIST AND THE LIGHT DOESN'T EXIST. I HAVE ALSO WORKED WITH INFINITIUSA CUSTOMER CARE (CASE # 17650302) AND WAS TOLD THE ENGINEERS SAY THE LIGHT DOESN'T EXIST. A RECENT DRIVE WITH AN INFINITI EAST SPECIAL TECH (PETE) VERIFIED THE LIGHT AND AUDIO SIGNAL. HIS CONCLUSION WAS THAT IT WAS OPERATING NORMALLY EVEN THOUGH I TOLD HIM, THE REGULAR SERVE TECH AND GENERAL MANAGER ABOUT TWO RECENT INCIDENTS WHERE THE CAR TRIED TO RAPIDLY SLOW ME DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OR OTHER DANGEROUS SITUATION. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AT THE TIME AND I WAS ABLE TO "FLOOR IT" TO GET BACK UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

THE VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A REPETITIVE THUMPING SOUNDS THAT WAS MORE FREQUENT AS SPEED INCREASED AND LESS FREQUENT WHEN SPEED DECREASED. ALL TIRES WERE CHECKED FOR DEBRIS OR DEFECTS AND NONE WAS FOUND. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED. THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE, WE ARE AWAITING REPAIR. WE ARE NOW AFRAID TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK. THIS IS THE 5TH OR 6TH TIME THAT WE HAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK FOR SOME REPAIR OR RECALL. UNACCEPTABLE FOR A $50,000 WITH A 18 MONTHS OF DRIVING. *TR

I AM REQUESTING AN INVESTIGATION ON THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE INFINITI JX35, 2013 MODEL AND THE FACT THAT IT SHOULD NOT GO OFF WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING NORMALLY AND NOT ABOUT TO REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE. ON SATURDAY OCTOBER 25, 2014, I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 INFINITI JX 35, WITH A PASSENGER DOWN A 30MPH ROAD TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 33MPH WHEN I SAW A 1-2 FOOT WIDE METAL CONSTRUCTION COVERING ON THE STREET AHEAD. IT WAS FAIRLY FLAT AND APPEARED THAT I COULD EASILY DRIVE OVER IT AT A NORMAL SPEED. AS I MOVED MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS TO SLOW DOWN AND STARTED TO MOVE MY FOOT GENTLY (BARELY TOUCHING) ON THE BRAKE, WARNING BEEPS BEGAN TO SOUND AND IMMEDIATELY MY AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM FORCEFULLY ENGAGED AND STRONGLY FORCED MY VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP THROWING MY DAUGHTER AND I FORWARD VERY HARD. LUCKILY NO VEHICLES WERE BEHIND ME BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE ENDED UP REAR ENDING MY VEHICLE. A SORE NECK WAS MY ONLY INJURY. IT WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION TO BE THROWN SUDDENLY INTO A COMPLETE STOP. I WENT BACK TO THE LOCATION MONDAY MORNING EARLY AND TOOK PICTURES OF THE ROAD AND A VIDEO OF OTHER CARS TRAVELING OVER IT. MOST OF THE CARS DID NOT STOP AT ALL AND CONTINUED OVER THE COVERING TRAVELING 30 - 35 MPH. THERE WAS NOT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT WHICH IS WHAT THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO WARN. *TR

TIRE TREAD WORE VERY EARLY. UNSAFE AT 19,0000. ON A NEW VEHICLE. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED AT 20,000 MILES. *TR

THIS IS MY 2ND NHTSA COMPLAINT (FIRST #10510406). I HAVE VIDEOS DOCUMENTING PROBLEM, TO WHICH INIFINITI'S RESPONSE WAS (PRIOR TO MOST RECENT OFFICIAL RECALL IN 04/2014) "WE ARE NOT SITTING IN THE SEAT PROPERLY". I WAS THRILLED TO HEAR ABOUT THE 2014 RECALL THINKING "FINALLY!", BUT I HAVE HAD IT APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE, TWICE NOW, AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE OF THE LIGHT COMING ON AT TIMES. IT HAS BEEN WITH ADULTS WEIGHING 115-130LBS AND AS I WATCH THE INFINITI VIDEO (HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=OY1QVNAMXSS&SNS=EM) I SEE THEY ARE SAYING IT TURNS OFF FOR THE SAFETY OF SMALL 'ADULT' PASSENGERS. I WISH THEY WOULD DEFINE "SMALL" IN POUNDS; IF 120 DOESN'T QUALIFY, THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER SOLD ME THE CAR SINCE I'M CONSTANTLY AT RISK IN MY OWN SEAT! AIRBAGS ARE NOT NEW TECH. THEY NEED TO GUT WHATEVER NEW TECH THEY TRIED AND GO BACK TO A KNOWN ENTITY. I COULD LIVE (NO PUN INTENDED - BUT IRONIC) WITH IT BEING FLAKY AND TURNING OFF BECAUSE A PASSENGER MOVES AROUND IN THEIR SEAT - IF IT WOULD ONLY TURN BACK ON WHEN THEY WERE SITTING PROPERLY AGAIN! BUT, 1) MY PASSENGERS ARE SITTING PROPERLY TO BEGIN WITH, AND 2) WHEN THEY TRY AND LIFT OFF THE SEAT AND BACK DOWN AGAIN IN HOPES OF TURNING THE AIRBAG BACK ON, IT DOES NOT HELP. ONLY STOPPING THE CAR RESOLVES THE ISSUE. THIS IS HIGHLY PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE IT HAPPENS WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THERE'S NO WAY TO RESET IT SHORT OF STOPPING THE CAR OR WAITING IT OUT. ANYONE WHO SITS IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT KNOWS THEY ARE BEING USED AS A TEST DUMMY AND TO SIT PROPERLY BECAUSE I WARN THEM THIS AIRBAG ISSUE CAN HAPPEN. IT'S PREPOSTEROUS. I'VE OWNED AUDI, LEXUS, TOYOTA, MAZDA, HONDA, AND BMW AND NEVER HAD AN AIRBAG ISSUE LIKE THIS. INFINITI IS COVERING UP A DEFECTIVE SYSTEM THAT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED. I HOPE SOMEONE STARTS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST THEM SINCE THEY CLEARLY DON'T VALUE ANY OF OUR LIVES. *TR

INFINITI DID A RECALL ON PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I HAD NO PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN, BUT NOW IT'S NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE AIRBAG OFF LIGHT TURNS ON WHILE SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND TURNS OFF WHEN SOMEONE LESS THAN ONE HUNDRED POUNDS IS IN THE SEAT. IT HAS BEEN INCONSISTENT AND UNSAFE. I'VE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK WITH NO RESULT. *TR

VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED 4 TIMES ON DASH RATTLE, HIGHLY IMPAIRMENTS WITH DRIVING DISTRACTIONS. PART OF RECENT DASH FIX LEFT DASH TO FALL APART (POSSIBLE JOB COMPLETION FAILURE). RENO DEALER FORCING ME TO DRIVE TO ANOTHER LOCATION (SACRAMENTO, CA, 175 MILES 1 WAY) TO GET SERVICED AND REPAIRED. PLUS SAID CAR IS IN PROCESS OF BEING RECALLED A 5TH TIME! UGH. JUST WANT NEGOTIABLE REFUND! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 INFINITI JX35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE PASSENGER WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON AND OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSORS BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

MY INFINITY JX35 HAS HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES IN REGARDS TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE FUEL GAGE. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS 3 TIMES FOR BOTH ISSUES AND THE ISSUES STILL HAVE NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DOES NOT DETECT MY WIFE WHEN SHE IS IN THE SEAT. INFINITY FIRST TOLD ME IT WAS A RECALL ISSUE AND NOW THEY DON'T KNOW. THE FUEL GAGE MOVES AROUND SPORADICALLY AND DOES NOT GIVE AN ACCURATE MEASURE OF FUEL IN THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP FIRST REPLACED A SENSOR IN THE FUEL TANK TWICE WHICH DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE, AND THEN THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD SYSTEMS AND STILL IT HAS FAILED TO WORK CORRECTLY. I ATTEMPTED TO GET INFINITY TO REPURCHASE MY VEHICLE BUT WAS DENIED EVEN THOUGH THEY DO NOT HAVE A SOLUTION FOR MY VEHICLE. *TR

MY JX 35 WAS RECALLED (14V-138) TO FIX THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM. I HAD THE RECALL "FIX" PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. WHEN PASSENGERS WEIGHING BETWEEN 105-125 POUNDS SIT IN THE FRONG PASSENGER SEAT, THE LIGHT COMES ON INDICATING THAT AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF. THE DEALER (FIELDS INFINITI OF GLENCOE, IL) INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND SAID THAT IT PERORMED THE RECALL ACCORDING TO INFINITI'S/NISSAN'S SPECIFICATIONS AND THERE'S NOTHING FURTHER THE DEALERSHIP CAN DO UNLESS THE VEHICLE UNDERGOES ANOTHER RECALL. THERE'S CLEARLY A DESIGN/ENGINEERING FLAW IN THE AIRBAG SEAT SENSOR SYSTEM, AS THIS PROBLEM DOESN'T EXIST WITH ANY OF OTHER VEHICLES I'VE DRIVEN (BMW, AUDI, GMC). THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE IT PUTS MY WIFE (AND OTHER POTENTIAL FRONT PASSENGER RIDERS)IN JEOPARDY IN THE EVENT OF A HEAD-ON COLLISION. PLEASE HAVE NISSAN RECALL THIS VEHICLE AGAIN TO FIX THE PROBLEM ONCE AND FOR ALL, AS OTHERS ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR POST-RECALLED INFINITI JX35 AND QX60 AND NISSAN PATHFINDERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 INFINITI JX35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER SIX TO EIGHT TIMES TO BE SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V138000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE, BUT THE SPECIFICS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILAGE WAS 15,000.

AS I STARTED THE CAR AFTER A LONG DAY OF WORK, I DISCOVERED THAT THE DASHBOARD IS NOT FUNCTIONAL, COMPLETELY DEAD. BLINKERS, GAS METER, SPEED METER, CRUISE, LIGHTS DID NOT WORK. I CALLED BROOKPARK INFINITY WHO TOLD ME THAT THE FUSE WAS OUT AND REPLACED IT. THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY EXPLANATION WHY THIS HAPPENED IN A NEW CAR THAT IS LESS ONE YEA OLD. I AM GREATLY CONCERNED THAT I GOT A LEMON DEAL ON THIS CAR. *JS

2013 INFINITY JX35. ATTORNEY REPRESENTING CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FRONT DOOR OF VEHICLE HAS VERY SHARP EDGES THAT CAUSED INJURY TO CONSUMERS FACE. *SMD THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE PROBLEM WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, AND THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING IT. (LAWYER WROTE IN ON BEHALF OF CONSUMER) *JB

I CALLED NALLEY INFINITI OF MARIETTA TO SET UP A SERVICE CALL IN RESPONSE TO NHTSA RECALL 13V-445. I WAS TRANSFERRED TO A FEMALE SERVICE WRITER. SHE ASKED IF I HAD THIS CAR SERVICED THERE IN THE PAST. I TOLD HER NO BECAUSE THE CAR IS NEW. SHE TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE "WAITING ON PARTS" AND THAT I SHOULD CALL ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. WHEN I ASKED HER WHAT OTHER DEALERSHIPS WERE IN THE AREA, SHE TOLD ME I SHOULD LOOK ONLINE. WHEN I ASKED IF SHE COULD CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS CAME IN, SHE SAID SHE COULD NOT DO THAT. I WAS REALLY SHOCKED AT HER LACK OF INTEREST IN HELPING ME. I CALLED BACK THE NEXT DAY TO TRY TO FIND OUT WHO I SPOKE TO. THE RECEPTIONIST TOLD ME THAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN ONE OF THEIR OFF-PROPERTY SERVICE WRITERS BECAUSE THERE WERE NO FEMALE WRITERS ON PROPERTY. I THEN SPOKE TO MY REGULAR SERVICE WRITER, AND HE SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME. HE ALSO TOLD ME THERE ARE NO PARTS INVOLVED - IT IS JUST A MATTER OF SOFTWARE. I REALLY REGRET THAT I DID NOT ASK HER NAME THE FIRST TIME; HOWEVER, I DO HOPE THAT THIS MATTER WILL BE INVESTIGATED AS I FEEL STRONGLY THAT SHE WAS SIMPLY TRYING TO GET RID OF ME SO THAT NALLEY WOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THE RECALL WORK. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. *TR

OUR JX 35 HAS A ONGOING RATTLE IN THE CENTER STACK, MID-DASH AREA, JUST BELOW THE NAVIGATION AREA. I WILL BE TAKING OUR VEHICLE IN TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP (80MI ONE-WAY) ONCE THEY ACTUALLY RETURN MY APPOINTMENT REQUEST TO GET THIS RATTLE FIX (THIS WILL BE THE SECOND ATTEMPT!!!). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 INFINITI JX35. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIRED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V138000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES IN A YEAR. ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON 1/15/14 CAR WENT FROM 55 TO 30 AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE HAD TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE TO RESET - SERVICE AT INFINITY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM AND DIRECTED ME TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS - CONSUMER AFFAIRS SAID AFTER ALMOST A MONTH - THEY DENIED MY REQUEST FOR A REPLACEMENT SINCE "THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED THE VEHICLE IS DEEMED REPAIRED". INFINITY ONLY TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE ONCE IN THE MONTH IT WAS THERE. EVEN IF THEY CANT DUPLICATE IT I FEEL I AM PUTTING MY FAMILIES AND OTHERS LIVES IN DANGER. THEY ARE FORCING ME TO RETURN THE LOANER CAR AND PICK UP MY VEHICLE. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND I'M LOOKING FOR WHAT TO DO NEXT? *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT ON JANUARY 1, 2014 AT APPROXIMATELY 12:00 P.M. WHILE PROCEEDING ON VINE STREET NEAR ITS INTERSECTION WITH ESSEX STREET IN SAUGUS, MA. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AND DRY AS I APPROACHED THE STOP SIGN FOR ME ON VINE STREET. IN THE REAR SEAT OF THE VEHICLE WERE MY DAUGHTER AND HER TWO FRIENDS. I WAS DRIVING AND NO ONE WAS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES AS I APPROACHED THE STOP SIGN, I DID NOT FEEL ANY STOPPING POWER. RATHER THAN PROCEED INTO THE INTERSECTION (WITH TRAFFIC TRAVELING ON ESSEX STREET) I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO GO UP ON AN ISLAND TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IN THE PROCESS OF BRACING MYSELF FOR AN IMPACT AFTER GOING UP ON THE ISLAND I SEVERELY EXTENDED MY LEG SO FORCEFULLY THAT THE LEFT KNEE MENISCUS WAS TORN REQUIRING SURGICAL REPAIR ON FEBRUARY 3, 2014. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED AAA AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP (KELLY INFINITI ) WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AS I DID NOT FEEL IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY $2000 WORTH OF DAMAGE DONE TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THIS VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL NOTICE (WHICH WAS NEVER RECEIVED BY ME) THE DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA HAVE TAKEN THE POSITION THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM SOFTWARE WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED MY ACCIDENT TO OCCUR. *TR
