The 2019-2020 QX60 with the 3.5L V6 and Jatco CVT can experience shuddering, slipping, and complete transmission failure. Symptoms include vibration at 10-60 mph, hesitant acceleration, and loss of power. If ignored, the transmission fails and requires replacement, costing $4,000-$6,000. A class-action settlement provides an extended warranty up to 8 years/80,000 miles for eligible vehicles.
Yes, a 2023 safety recall (NHTSA campaign 23V-412) affects the 2022-2023 QX60 with a faulty fuel pump impeller. The impeller can swell, causing the pump to fail and the engine to stall without warning, which can lead to loss of power steering and braking. The dealer replaces the fuel pump assembly for free under the recall.
