Transmission failed at 101000 miles. Going 70 miles a hour on interstate.it slowed down to15 miles a hour, for the love of something no one hit me, but it could of been a deadly combo. I'm also on a fb group and everyone complains of their trans going out. Also before then alternator and radiator fan, maf throttle and purge valve at 90000 miles, which none is covered. I did pay $3000 for a extended warranty up to 116000 miles. But this transmission is a Worldwide Nissan problem and should of been recalled. Also my BCI continues malfunctioning. I've only had the vehicle since February 2022.

WE DROVE TO FILL UP THE TANK. AFTER FILLING UNTIL IT STOPPED THE MILEAGE TO EMPTY DID NOT INCREASE. THE FUEL LEVEL THEN STAYED AT FULL AS WE DROVE TO RUN ERRANDS BUT THE MILEAGE TO EMPTY NEVER UPDATED AND ONLY SHOWED A DECREASE OF MILES. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN WE BREAK THE STOPPING DISTANCE IS REALLY LONG AND WE HAVE TO BREAK FARTHER BACK. IT FEELS 'SQUISHY' BUT HAS NEW BRAKE PADS. CONSUMER STATED HE WOULD LIKE THE COMPLAINT TO BE REMOVED, MADE AN ERROR.

AT VERY LIGHT STOP SUCH AS RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, MY JX35 HAS TIGHTENED THE SEAT BELTS IN THE FRONT SO HARD THAT IT PULLED ME AND MY PASSENGER BACK INTO OUR SEATS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE BRAKES GO VERY SOFT AT OR BEFORE THE SET BELTS TIGHTEN. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS.

TODAY I HAD THE ULTIMATE SCARE. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN MY SEAT BELTS LOCKED AND MY TRUCK HIT THE EMERGENCY BRAKES. NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME BUT THERE WAS A 18 WHEELER BEHIND ME. HE SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING ME FROM THE BACK. I COMPLETELY WENT INTO A ANXIETY ATTACK AND HAD TO PULL OVER ONCE THE CAR RELEASED THE BRAKES WHICH ONLY LASTED A MINUTE. I CALLED FOR HELP BECAUSE I COULDN'T BREATHE AND COULD NOT DRIVE. I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE TODAY ALL BEHIND A DUMB VEHICLE THAT SUPPOSE TO KEEP ME FROM CRASHING. IT'S BEEN PARK AND I REFUSE TO DRIVE IT. THANKFUL MY KIDS WERE NOT IN THE CAR YET.

WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO RESOLUTION OF THE ISSUE. WE GET THE RUN AROUND FROM INFINITY CONSUMER SUPPORT.

I AM WRITING YOU NOW IT IS BECAUSE AT THIS POINT DRIVING MY 2013 INFINITY JX35 FOR THE SECOND TIME HAD PUT MY LIFE ON THE LINE. I WAS DRIVING ON 75 NORTH ON WESDNESDAY NOVEMBER 21, 2018 AROUND 4:30PM AND SUDDENLY, THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE OF MY CAR JUST CAME OFF CAUSING DAMAGE TO OTHER DRIVERS CAR. I ALWAYS SERVICE MY CAR AT INFINITY, DO ALL THE RECOMMENDED SERVICES ON THE CAR AND STILL CANNOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THAT CAR. I HAD A BRAKE SERVICE DONE ON MY CAR ON MY LAST OIL CHANGE WHICH HOWEVER IS NOW SHOWING THAT THE TIRES WERE NOT SCREWED PROPERLY ALL THE WAY. I AM SERIOUSLY DISAPPOINTED AND EVEN SCARE OF PUTTING MY FAMILY BACK IN THAT CAR. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, INFINITY DECLINED ALL RESPONSIBILITY STATED THAT IT LOOKED LIKE THE CAR HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH WAS NOT TRUE BECAUSE IT HIT THE SIDEWALK WHEN THE WHEEL STARTED SHAKING AND BOUNCED THE CAR. THE FIRST TIME RIGHT AFTER WE PURCHASED THE CAR, THE WHEEL STARTED SHAKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND BOUNCED THE CAR TO THE NEAREST SIDE WALK. THIS TIME, THE TIRE JUST RAN OFF OF THE CAR IN A MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY.

VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH FORWARD COLLISION PREVENTION. WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, VEHICLE WILL OCCASIONALLY BRAKE EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO VEHICLE IN FRONT. THERE IS USUALLY AN 18-WHEELER IN THE RIGHT LANE AT THE TIME. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATE THAT THEY AREN'T ABLE TO REPRODUCE AND THAT THERE ARE NO MALFUNCTION CODES. THEY INSIST THAT RE-ALIGNING SENSORS IS A MAINTENANCE ITEM AND REQUIRE PAYMENT OF $150 TO PERFORM THAT FUNCTION. THE DEALER ALSO STATES THEY AREN'T SURE THAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE HAS HAD ONE DEFECTIVE ICC SENSOR REPLACED AND MIS-ALIGNED SENSORS REALIGNED ONCE. *TR

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

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

TOOK THE CAR TO INFINITI DEALER REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER. I FILLED A COMPLAINED TO INIFINITI MOTORS, SINCE I'M WORRIED THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM CAUSING BRAKE FAILURE. *TR

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

THERE WAS A COUPLE OF INCHES OF FRESH SNOW ON THE STREETS. THIS WAS THE FIRST SNOW THAT THE CAR HAS SEEN. THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK IN SNOW. WHEN THE CAR STARTS TO SKID IN THE SNOW, THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE FEATURE APPEARS TO KICK IN, WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO NOT BRAKE AT ALL. CAR SIMPLY CRUISES FORWARD WITHOUT ANY BRAKING AT ALL. PUMPING THE BRAKES APPEARS TO ACTUALLY HELP THE SITUATION IN THAT IT SEEMS TO RESET THE ANTI LOCK FEATURE AND ALLOWS THE BRAKES TO AT LEAST TEMPORARILY APPLY BEFORE THE CAR'S COMPUTER SWITCHES THEM OFF AGAIN. IN THIS INCIDENT, THERE WAS A SLIGHT DOWNHILL INCLINE, CAR CRUISED INTO REAR END OF CAR THAT WAS STOPPED IN FRONT. *TR

UPON APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION MY WIFE WAS BRAKING TO A STOP. THERE WERE SOME BUMPS IN THE ROAD (SLIGHT WASHBOARD) THAT APPEARED TO UPSET THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE SEATBELTS CONTRACTED QUICKLY AND TOOK UP ANY SLACK AND BECAME VERY TIGHT. THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND AND RESULTED IN A VERY HARD AND INEFFECTIVE PEDAL. THE CAR ENDED UP 1/2 WAY INTO THE INTERSECTION OR FURTHER BY THE TIME IT STOPPED. IT TRULY SEEMED TO TAKE AN ADDITIONAL 2 SECONDS TO RESUME WORKING. THIS ALSO HAPPENED THE PREVIOUS WEEKEND WHEN I WAS DRIVING. THIS TIME I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AND APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE ROAD ALSO HAD A FEW RIPPLES ON IT AND THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND TO MY NOW VERY HARD FOOT. THE SEAT BELTS TIGHTENED LIKE I MENTIONED ABOVE AND WE ENDED UP FULLY ACROSS THE INTERSECTION BY THE TIME WE STOPPED. I HAD A CAR FULL OF KIDS AND THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A NATIONAL STORY HAD SOMEONE BEEN COMING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. THANK HEAVENS IT WAS CLEAR. I'VE DRIVEN MANY CARS AND NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. IT IS VERY UNSETTLING. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON ROUTE 73 IN MARLTON NJ. THE BRAKES LOCKED (WITHOUT ME BRAKING) THIS SEEMED TO BE THE AUTO EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM. THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME- NO CAR, PERSON OR OBSTACLE. THE CAR BEHIND ME NEEDED TO SWERVE TO AVOID ME. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. THIS HAPPENED ONE OTHER TIME AND IT DIDN'T OCCUR TO ME THE SERIOUSNESS THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE I WAS REVERSING SLOWLY. AGAIN THERE WAS NO OBSTACLE AND NO REASON FOR THE CAR TO SUDDENLY BRAKE. THE DCA WAS NOT IN USE AT THE TIME EITHER. THIS IS THE SECOND SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE. FIRST WAS THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG - WOULD NOT ENGAGE WHILE AN ADULT PASSENGER WAS SEATED. THIS EVENTUALLY GOT CORRECTED AFTER 4 VISITS TO THE DEALER. *TR
