NHTSA Complaint #10578593 — 2013 INFINITI JX35

CAR STRONGLY VIBRATES/SHUDDERS AT APPROX 20 MPH AND THEREAFTER, AND I HAD TO TAKE FOOT OFF PEDAL TO GET IT TO SHIFT GEARS. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. AT FIRST VISIT TO DEALER, ON 9/7/2013, (I'M CURRENTLY ON 4TH VISIT SINCE GETTING CAR), THEY CLAIMED TO REPAIR THE ISSUE, THOUGH REPAIR ORDER NOT CLEAR WHAT THEY DID. ON 10/5/13, SAME ISSUE. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON, AND CAR HESITATES AND VIBRATES UPON ACCELERATION. PER SERVICE INVOICE, "IMPROPER CONNECTION PIN FITMENT". DEALERSHIP REPLACED FUEL INJECTOR, AND SAID PROBLEM SOLVED. ON 1/16/2014, SAME ISSUE. CAR SHUTTERING UPON ACCELERATION BTWN 15-45 MPH, AND ENGINE LIGHT ON. DEALER REPLACED TRANSMISSION, AND ONCE AGAIN, TOLD ME PROBLEM SOLVED. ON 3/24/2014, WHILE DRIVING ON TURNPIKE, SAME ISSUE. CAR VIBRATING UPON ACCELERATION, AND ENGINE LIGHT ON. HAD CAR TOWED BACK (APPROX 170 MILES). COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED ENGINE CONTROL UNIT AND ENGINE CHASSIS (I THINK THAT'S THE CORRECT NAME), AND WAS TOLD - FOR THE FOURTH TIME - "PROBLEM SOLVED" (THOUGH INCREDIBLY, THE DEALER REFUSED TO PAY THE TOW CHARGE). IN TOTAL, I'VE HAD THE CAR ONLY APPROX 8 MONTHS, AND SO FAR, HAVE HAD THE FUEL INJECTOR, TRANSMISSION, ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT AND ENGINE CHASSIS REPLACED, CAUSING THE CAR TO BE IN THE SHOP FOR THIS PROBLEM A COLLECTIVE TOTAL OF APPROX 25 DAYS OR SO. THE CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED. I HAVE NOW SEEN OTHER SIMILAR REPORTS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR CAR, UNDER THE "COMPLAINTS" SECTION OF THE NHTSA. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR
