Going round exits at slow (20mph-ish) speeds and accelerating yesterday, I experienced the dreaded transmission stutter that has been reported on Pathfinders/Altimas/late model JX35s and QX60s.
Have to verify this a couple of times (was in a hurry yesterday) before taking it to the dealership and demonstrating the exact problem. But I think I know where this is headed - most likely a torque converter or entire transmission replacement.
I was hoping that I would not be stuck with one of those faulty units but here I am. At least the issue has been caught now instead of a few years later!
I must say though that overall this has been one of the more disappointing cars I have bought till now. The car feels very Nissan rather than Infiniti. It is sad that after producing exciting cars for so many years that are nothing like their Nissan counterparts, Infiniti has decided to pull an Acura on us.
