2013 INFINITI JX35 Problems

The contact owns a 2013 Infiniti JX35. The contact stated that for the past several months, the air bag warning light had been intermittently illuminated, and the fuel gauge had failed to indicate the proper fuel levels in the fuel tank. Additionally, it was difficult to open the hood. The contact researched online and related the failures to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V244000 (Air Bags),12V398000 (Fuel System, Gasoline), and 15V033000 (Structure). The vehicle was taken to a dealer, and the contact was informed that there were no open recalls associated with the VIN for the failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 147,516.

Airbag light continuously flashes, I read that there were recalls with Nissan/Infiniti airbags and my model and year was included so I took it to the dealer to have it checked. Infiniti of Lynnwood can't find the problem, they said all the sensors were fine and diagnosed it as; "98820-3JA9B - Sensor-Side Airbag center. Airbag diagnosis sensor to start, this is the first step, will have to test further if not corrected after replacement". The service dealer said that it's the first step to figure out what's wrong, the quote was $2,120.96, he said it might fix it and can be a money pit. My concern is that my car might have been missed in the airbag recall.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2013 Infiniti JX35. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy after the purchase. The vehicle was a dealer sale. The vehicle was purchased on August 16, 2025, and the vehicle mileage was 172,000. On November 26, 2025, the vehicle was repossessed, and upon further investigation, it was discovered that that vehicle's mileage was 151,289. The contact found out that the vehicle was a salvage vehicle, but the dealer did not inform the contact that the vehicle had a salvaged title. The contact stated that the dealer refused payment, and the contact had difficulty registering the vehicle.

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.

The contact owns a 2013 Infiniti JX35. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. The ABS system was activated. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH the vehicle independently accelerated to 60 MPH. The vehicle was jerking while the accelerator pedal was depressed to the floorboard. The contact was able to pull over. The contact called the local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V445000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic, Electrical System). The failure mileage was approximately 161,000.

While driving on the freeway, the vehicle's driver assistance system suddenly became unavailable. Although the car was still able to move, the transmission would not shift gears. The engine RPMs rose unusually high — when applying pressure to the gas pedal, the RPMs could reach 4,000 to 5,000, but the vehicle accelerated very slowly. I could only maintain a speed of around 50–60 mph. It felt like the transmission was stuck in one gear and the power was not being properly delivered to the wheels. This limited acceleration and loss of responsiveness created a significant safety concern on the freeway. The following day, the check engine light turned on. I took the vehicle to AutoZone for a diagnostic scan, which returned multiple fault codes: P0840 (Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch A Circuit), P0715 (Input/Turbine Speed Sensor A), and P0746 (Pressure Control Solenoid A Performance or Stuck Off). After researching the issue, I found that many other Infiniti JX35 owners have reported similar failures involving the CVT transmission. This appears to be a recurring defect that significantly affects drivability and safety. The repair estimate I received is over $4,000, and the vehicle remains in a compromised condition. I am reporting this as a safety concern involving powertrain failure, elevated engine stress, and loss of acceleration control.

The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, who informed the contact that the transmission fluttered and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSa Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 163,000.

Known issue by Infiniti. Front (driver's side) headlight main bulb shorted out. Condensation "traveled" in the the assembly, but did not vent out. Replacement bulbs do not resolve the issue. The first time it happened, it occurred in December 2017 and was replaced by Infinity of Lynnwood (that was also the last month of the warranty). Now, the same one shorted out again at the end of December 2022, just 5 years later. It's a known issue but Infinity won't issue a recall. There is a service bulletin (TSB No. 03-051I) SB-10032304-9755. Though a known issue, the dealership will not rectify the situation without compensation.

On three occasions the headlight assembly became unsealed allowing moisture to enter the sealed headlight assembly, thus short circuiting the HID bulb and ballast. This affected both the drivers and passenger headlight assembly the first time and just last week the driver's side light, again. We have seen other JX35, as well as QX60 models having moisture in the headlight assembly (light not functional), and were told by the dealership that they currently have two other cars (same model) on the lot with the same issue. Searches on line show this is a continual problem with these models (JX36 and QX60). The manufacture is not standing behind their product and this is a safety hazard as the vehicle is without a, or both headlights.

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.

My Infiniti driver's seat malfunctioned, crushed and pinned me, and ripped my hip out of socket when I was extracted. I'm being scheduled for surgery for a labral tear. Seat malfunctioned again in the Infiniti Roseville parking lot, and the Infiniti agent stated, on video, that the seat "motor is going out." The supervisor on duty, Micah, refused to fix the seat and Infiniti Roseville texted that the death trap seat is "operating as designed." I have the video clearly showing the seat malfunctions and is a danger to myself, my children and everyone on the roadways. The officer attending the scene when I was trapped and injured stated I'm lucky to be alive, because if the seat malfunctioned while I was driving and the airbag went off while I was pinned to the steering wheel, I would be dead. The dash had every light on possible when the seat malfunctioned and froze entirely. The car is available to be inspected, and I'm terrified to drive it if the seat is plugged in because it will crush me again. Photos and videos available if I can email them.

The contact owns a 2013 Infiniti JX35. The contact stated that the driver’s side sun visor was unintentionally lowering while driving at various speeds. The contact stated that the sun visor was obstructing his vision and had become a distraction while driving. The contact used a bungee cord to hold the sun visor in place to prevent failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was provided a case number and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.

The front and rear subframes of my 2013 Infiniti JX35 has experienced severe corrosion, perforation, and structural weakening, resulting in an unsafe driving condition. The corrosion is extensive enough to compromise suspension geometry, stability, and overall vehicle control. A structurally compromised subframe poses a serious risk of loss of control, increased stopping distance, and potential crash. A certified mechanic confirmed the vehicle is unsafe to drive due to imminent risk of subframe failure. This defect is premature, systemic, and well‑documented across the Infiniti JX35/QX60 and Nissan Pathfinder platforms.

The component is the rear subframe has rotted to the point of the trailing arms breaking free. This is a know problem with the same part on the Nissan pathfinder but for whatever reasons the recall was not extended to the infinity jx35

The vehicle was being driven on the freeway. I was driving in the carpool lane with a passenger going around 75-80mph. The road was a smooth paved road, there wasn't anything on the road for my car to hit or run over. Then all of a sudden the driver-side airbag curtain deployed, and my seatbelt tightened and locked up in place. This frightened me and left me unable to drive correctly and endangered both my passenger's and my life. I had to immediately pull off to an exit and I concluded that the driver-side airbags deployed spontaneously and this put my life in danger and others driving on the freeway. So the driver-side side airbags malfunctioned and are available for inspection. The safety of others was put at risk by having the airbags deployed while driving on the freeway at a fairly high speed. The component has not been inspected or replaced by the manufacturer or any other entity. There was a passenger seatbelt warning light lit up prior to the incident, but it was for the passenger airbags and its meaning is that the passenger airbags would not deploy in the case of a vehicle accident/collision.

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.

While driving the car I began to loose steering control . The car would not go in the direction I wanted to go. It was a harrowing experience but I managed to get to my destination. There My father noticed that the right front tire was rubbing the front of the wheel well. After further inspection I could see where the right lower control arm had broken free of the front subframe. I took photos of the damage from different angles .From these I could see that the top of the subframe had severe corrosion while the bottom was intact. I am thankful that I lived through this without suffering injury or death. I reached out to Infinity consumer affairs about this issue and all they could say is that the warranty was up without any concern of this being a major issue with this JX35 Infinity. I feel that a subframe should not break after only 10 Years. This is not an inexpensive car. ( photos attached)

Engine will not accelerate and looses power steering like the engine is off. After a few moments all power is returned and engine comes back on to normal operation.
