Problem overview

Some INFINITI QX60 owners report experiencing a roaring noise and shaking during low-speed turns, often accompanied by engine sputtering from 0-30 mph. This issue may stem from vibrations and noise related to vehicle components or systems. Additionally, early model years have been noted for transmission problems, particularly with the continuously variable transmission (CVT), which can lead to shuddering and hesitation, contributing to the shaking and sputtering. Some owners also report timing chain rattle and tapping noise, which, while not directly causing shaking, may indicate larger engine performance issues. Unusual engine shaking or vibrating forces, possibly due to misfires or fuel delivery problems, are also a concern. Furthermore, power train issues have been documented, manifesting as shaking and noise during acceleration or turns. If multiple mechanics are unable to diagnose the problem, it is advisable for owners to seek a specialized INFINITI service center for comprehensive diagnostics and inspection of the transmission, engine, and power train components.
