Consumer Description
Transmission valve body failed while driving which caused shifts to be limited. It could have caused an inability to shift at all, which is a safety issue. This issue has been inspected and confirmed by an independent shop. No warning signs were present before the failure. Furthermore, this issue is well known to Infiniti. It’s caused by breakdown of the transmission fluid overtime, causing a reduction in the cooling capacity of the fluid. But Infiniti says that the fluid should be lifetime. This overheating causes the TCM on the valve body to fail. If it failed while I was going at a highway speed I could have been injured.
