What is your question?
QX begins to buck, backfire and lose power when driving in hot weather. What could be causing this? If you pull over and turn vehicle off and wait a few minutes, problem seems to resolve itself temporarily. This problem has occurred twice since I have had the vehicle and seems prominent to hot weather and driving distances 1-1/2 hour or longer. The first time, the vehicle actually shut itself off that I needed to coast to the side of the road.

Have any indicators on? if so what are faults in system? Do you know what your vehicles fuel psi at when problems is present? Might want to take it to your normal service station and have them inspect your vehicle if your tool arsenal is limited best of wishes.
hi i am having the same exact problem. this happened recently when i drove down to south carolina exact same symptoms shut car for ten minutes drives fine. this is the third time it happened no error codes no one knows what is wrong
No warning indicators present. Not sure how to determine fuel psi. The first time that I took it in, diagnostic testing was done, but nothing was found. Obviously, something has to be wrong. Concerned about taking long trips in 90+ degree weather now. Have called dealership for service once again. Could the fuel injector be the culprit? Could getting bad gasoline cause this problem? Thanks for your quick response. I appreciate any information that I can gather before taking my QX in for service.
It would appear that it is more likely to be a fuel problem (likely wouldnt store any diagnostic faults) only because it's very intermittent but it also could be an electrical malfunction. I would highly recommend taking detailed notes in writing and giving it to the service advisor at the service station. I would highly recommend that you allow a technician to take it home if required so vehicle can hopefully duplicate the exact condition in hopes to replicate. Also please send me vehicle vin# & mileage. So i can do one more piece of do diligence.
