Problem overview

Some Infiniti QX60 owners report experiencing hesitation between shifting gears at low speeds, which may be linked to issues with the continuously variable transmission (CVT). Symptoms often include noticeable jerking or shuddering during acceleration from a stop or at low speeds. Potential causes for this hesitation could be low or dirty transmission fluid, worn transmission belts, or malfunctioning CVT control modules. Ignoring these transmission issues can lead to more severe complications down the line, resulting in higher repair costs for fluid replacement, belt inspections, or control module repairs. It is crucial for owners to address these concerns promptly to prevent further damage to the transmission system and ensure optimal vehicle performance.
