A mechanic says it is PCM failure. I have owned the car for 18 months. Shortly after buying it, it started doing this thing where it loses power for just a second or two. Cruise control and proximity sensors kick off, steering wheel locks and/or power steering turns off, all interior components turn off. Usually everything comes right back on, and I can reset the cruise control. Lately it has been more frequent, and things don't go back to normal. It sometimes causes the vehicle to stall and not start as well. Today even once things are back "on", I can't control the AC fan, radio volume, etc. Bluetooth shows connected to the car on my phone but isn't playing through the vehicle speakers. I don't undersrand how this could not be a recall when it poses a major safety risk to suddenly lose power and be unable to steer...
About a year ago, I was driving about 80 mph and the dash lights and radio just died, then within seconds everything came back on. It only happened that one time. The other day, I was on a busy highway headed home when my battery light came on. I just replaced both the alternator and battery less than a year ago. I started inching over to the left land (just in case) when the car just died and I had to coast to a stop in the middle of the highway WITH MY 3 KIDS!!! The police came and I was able to start the car and pull it on the shoulder, then a tow truck came and dropped it off at Infiniti. They had my car for 2 days and couldn't find anything and they told me to come and pick it up. Within 30 minutes of me picking...
ABS lit stayed lit and AWD error lit also on.
My vehilce only has 31000 miles on it and the cooling fan went out, was not due to anything that I did driving wise. When I called Infiniti Warranty Divison in Franklin Tennessee they said they are aware of the complaints by other customers they said they issued a technical bullentin ITB17-048 but said there was no reason for a recall but they deemed it necassry to make a design change which fixed this problem and also required a module change also. They said they are not responsible for the problem, but if that is true then why did they make the design change. So any owners with old design will have an issue and will have to replace the unit. So I am glad that I was not on the road driving and would have been stuck in the heat trying to get the car repaired. There was no...
WHEN GETTING VEHICLE OUT OF SPOT AND TURNING WHEEL TO LEFT REAR VEHICLE VIBRATING/BINDING. DEALER INFORMED REAR COUPLER NEEDED TO CHANGED. I FOUND THERE IS ALREADY RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR SAME MODEL BUT SOME REASON MY VIN DOES NOT QUALIFY.
The car has shut off twice while (once on the highway) and once on a side street. Lost power and locked up. Prior to the shut offs power flickered. No problem identified with Infiniti but appears so be a known issue amongst the infiniti community. Are these cars safe??????
COMPONENTS :LATCHES/LOCK Vehicle: 2017 Infiniti Qx60 Date of incident: 6/16/2022/ Mileage 80,000 Safety concern: in the event of a crash or fire, a jammed door could delay response time and cause severe injury or death. I was placing my grandchild in the rear passenger seating area when I closed the door, drove to the local market and was unable to open the door from the inside of the cabin or from the outside. I tried several times to use the unlock button and the door still did not open. No dashboard warnings came on before or after the failure. I took the vehicle to the dealership, they were also UNABLE to open the door after several attempts and was told by the mechanic that the door actuator was defective and to fix the problem would cause SEVERE damage to in the inside of the door. I then contacted the manufacturer...
I bought my QX60 2017 in April of 2021. fine til wk 2 experienced electrical issues liftgate stops going up or down randomly, hesitation in the acceleration when pulling into traffic (quite scary when you almost get rammed). concerns told to dealership stated I needed to change key fob battery. I already had and it was fine. They insisted I cchangeit so I did.. Not the issue. So I made an appt to have concerns checked.. ie transmission hesitation and electrical . I brought it in got a loaner. Many days later it was ready and I could pick it up they could find no issues they fixed nothing but the groan in the gas tank that's it. They said they couldn't duplicate it. So I reiterated to them to make sure that they understood that it was done at random and it's still being done at random months later....
When breaking the pedal starts to bounce and make a super loud noise like if the rear tire is flat. It does it sporadically at low speed breaking making it hard to stop the car. I have taken it ti the dealer numerous time and the Infiniti special mechanic cant find the issue. Also, when driving on the highway the slippery sensor turns on slowing down the car suddenly almost causing an accident. The awd overheating sensor turns on as well all the time as well as the one for mismatch tires. This has been happening for almost 2 years.
MY CAR INFINITI QX60 2017 THE HORN STARTED TO HONK WITH NO REASON IT WOULDN'T STOP HONKING 1ST TIME, 2ND TIME IT HAPPENED IT WAS COMING SMOG FROM THE HORNS AND NOW THE HORN WON'T WORK CHANGED THE HORN FUSE AND IT WILL BURN IT EVERY TIME SO IT HAS A SHORTCUT SOMEWHERE SO NOW WE HAVE A CAR WITH NO HORN UNTIL IS FIXED!
CAR WAS RUNNING WELL AND DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES THEN WENT TO START AND CAR WOULD NOT START, HEADLIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING, WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND CAR WOULDN'T START. WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO START AND DRIVE HOME BUT POWER STEERING WENT OUT, COULD NOT ACCELERATE ON A HWY, LIGHTS CONTINUED TO FLICKER. WAS NOT SWITCHING GEARS. ONCE WE GOT HOME TURNED THE CAR OFF AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO START IT SINCE. WE HAD IT TOWED TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG AND IT'S BEEN THERE FOR OVER THREE WEEKS. NISSAN IS SAYING WE NEED A NEW $14,0000 ENGINE. THIS IS A THREE YEAR OLD CAR WITH NO PROBLEMS, NO INDICATION OF ANY ISSUES AND ONE DAY IT JUST STOPS DRIVING. HAVE RESEARCHED THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL AND HAVE HEARD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. INFINITI HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING...
MY CAR HAS HAD ISSUES FROM THE DAY I GOT IT WHICH HAVE GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND NOW I DON'T FEEL SAFE AND I'M RELUCTANT TO DRIVE IT LET ALONE MAKE THE PAYMENT FOR IT AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES EXPLAINING THE ISSUE AND LIGHTS THAT COME IN. I HAVE HAD BAD SMELL COMING FROM IT AND AFTER THE THIRD TIME TODAY BEING AT DEALE AND GETTING A LOANER CAR THAT IS NOT EVEN SEMI COMPARABLE TO MY CAR AS I HAVE AN INFINITY QX 60 AND THEY HAVE GIVEN ME A TINY TINY Q30 OR QX AND REFUSED TO GIVE ME A CAR MY SIZE WHICH IS ANOTHER STORY . MY CAR AFTER GETTING IT TONIGHT FROM DEALER AND THEN TELLING ME RECALL WAS FIXED STALLED ON THE FREEWAY AND CAME TO A DROP AS THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS INCHES AWAY FROM SLAMMING INTO ME....
I LEASED A LOADED QX60 FROM SAWGRASS INFINITI. ONE OF THE FEATURES OF THE CAR WAS A 120V PLUG IN THE SECOND ROW WITH A MAX 150W RATING. THIS WAS A KEY FEATURE FOR US AS OUR SON HAS A CONDITION THAT REQUIRES A BREATHING MACHINE TO BE PLUGGED IN SO HE CAN RECEIVE MEDICATION EACH DAY WHILE IN THE CAR. AS IT TURNS OUT, THE VOLTAGE ON THE OUTLET MAY BE 120V, BUT THE RATING IS DEFINITELY NOT CORRECT. AFTER A MINUTE OF WORKING, THE OUTLET SHUTS OFF. AND THEN A FEW MINUTES LATER, IT MIGHT COME BACK ON FOR A MINUTE OR SO. I TESTED THE MACHINE AND IT GETS NO WHERE NEAR THE MAX WATTAGE RATING ON A VOLT METER. I CONTACTED INFINITI MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY SAID THAT THE VEHICLE IS WORKING AS DESIGNED (IN OTHER WORDS, GO AWAY, WE DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT FIXING...
