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.

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.

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.

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.

Lost all power in my cvt tranny and won’t move or shift gears not even indicates what gear im in, it’s a recall on others why isnt it on mine being a common issue

The contact owns a 2013 Infiniti JX35. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle started vibrating violently. The vehicle resumed normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence while accelerating. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to Technical Service Bulletin: ITB15-012D. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 147,000

My transmission has been going in and out while on the highway and main roads, jumps when taking off at lights and sounds like it’s not shifting gears causing a safety risk to me and my family and other on the road. I service my transmission fluid as recommend in the handbook and online reporting. infinity has a factory warranty on my vehicle but when I check the recall list it doesn’t show any recalls. I’ve been experiencing this with several jx35 infinity’s due to the cvt transmissions and would really like to have this as a recall because it’s such a common issue with these vehicles. I’ve had the same vehicle prior to this one and paid to have the transmission replaced but it still had the same issues down the road.

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.
