MY CAR IS A 2014 QX60 HYBRID. INFINITY WAS SUED AND SETTLED ON WITHOUT CAR REPLACEMENT. MY CAR HAS THE SAME SHUDDERING PROBLEM THAT WAS THE BASIS FOR THE LAWSUIT. CVT TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED TWICE UNDER MY 70K WARRANTY. MY CVT TRANSMISSION HAS BEGUN TO SUFFER THE SAME "JUDDERING" PROBLEM WHICH AS AFFECTED SO MANY OF THE QX60 MODELS, BOTH HYBRID AND GAS. I TOOK IT AFTER WARRANTY MANY TIMES TO DEALER AND THEY CAN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR EVERY SINGLE MINIMUM STEP EVEN CAR WASH. I HAVE SO MUCH PAPERWORK OF THIS AND MANY OTHERS ISSUES WITH THIS CAR THAT WOULD TAKE FOR EVER TO UPLOAD.
