All 3 Known Issues
On the 2013-2020 Infiniti QX60, the QX60 CVT exhibits a pronounced judder during low-speed maneuvers such as parking lot driving and stop-and-go traffic. The torque converter and CVT belt interaction produces an uncomfortable vibration through the drivetrain.
Common Symptoms
- Vibration during low-speed turns
- Shudder when accelerating from stop
- Jerky motion in parking lots
How to Fix
Have the dealer perform the CVT judder reprogram (TSB NTB15-024). A CVT fluid change with NS-3 fluid can also improve the condition. Drive the vehicle for 30 minutes after the fluid change to allow the TCM to relearn.
On the 2013-2020 Infiniti QX60, the hydraulic power steering pump develops a pronounced whining noise, especially during cold starts and low-speed turning. Air intrusion into the power steering fluid or a failing pump bearing causes the noise.
Common Symptoms
- Whining noise during turns
- Groaning at full steering lock
- Stiff steering on cold mornings
How to Fix
Flush the power steering system and refill with Nissan PSF. Bleed air from the system by turning the wheel lock-to-lock several times with the engine running. Replace the pump if the noise persists after fluid service.
