  • JX Passenger Airbag Does Not Work - 2013 Infiniti JX
    By -

    This car has a major design defect that Infiniti is ignoring. All passenger airbags are supposed to operate if the person in the seat weighs more than 110 pounds. My wife weighs 118 poounds and is 5 feet 4 inches tall. The airbag does not detect that she is in the seat and therefore is not operational. The dealer tried to fix the problem but could not. They reported to Infiniti that they verified the problem and that it was a dangerous condition. Infiniti has simply ignored the defect. As a result I was forced to bring a lemon law suit against them. There are mumerous other complaints. Be warned that if you have a loved one who weighs about 120 or less the passenger airbag wont work!

  • Best Car I Have Ever Owned - 2013 Infiniti JX
    By -

    I traded a 2012 MDX for the JX. I only had the MDX for a couple of months and got terrible gas mileage. "Just for fun" I test drove the JX. The rest is history. I absolutely love this car. Had it one month and find excuses to drive it. I very much like the transmission choices. I use the sport mode when starting off and then depending on whether Im on local roads or an interstate, shift the knob accordingly. While in eco drive I have already managed 24.6 MPG. I also find it much easier to drive than the MDX. My seating position gives me a better view of the road and the ride itself is smooth, quit and just plain relaxing.

  • So Impressed !!!! Glad I purchased the JX 35 :-) - 2013 Infiniti JX
    By -

    I purchased my JX 35 in May 2012. I am so impressed with it. Forget about the comments regarding the pick up, this baby moves. I traded in a 04 Expedition. Took it on the road to NC, didnt realize how fast I was going, the ride is so smooth. excellent on fuel. I am so very happy. I test drove the Enclave, MDX, and SRX. There is no comparison. Had my heart set on the SRX until I drove this SUV. Salesman did such a great job of introducing me to the features. I am still learning something new everyday. Get off the fence and test drive this SUV, you will not be sorry.

    With children reaching teen stage, the wife (aka “the boss”) finally decided that we’ve graduated from minivans. Basic requirements: cross-over, 3-row seating, leather and within $45K. Researched: MDX: Pros - Honda name, resale, handling. Cons – Value quotient, dated styling. Pilot: Pros – Honda name, resale, decent ride. Cons – Remember, I’m trying to graduate from driving a box on wheels! Honda with leather starts mid to high 30’s? CX9: Pros – Mazda name, sporty handling, great reviews. Cons – Outdated styling, minivan with long nose. Explorer: Pros – Styling, options, price ranges. Cons – Will top $40K with options. Resale value will exceed loan amount before first juice stain.

  • what a mistake - 2013 Infiniti JX

    We bought this car new, and finally traded it in at 18 months of continuous warranty issues. Our vehicle spent over two months in the service department for miscellaneous issues. They were not major mechanical problems, but more trim and interior build issues. Called to try and exchange on Lemon law, but was denied and told that there is a warranty on the vehicle for these types of issues. We really liked the safety features, but the loaners dont always have them and we spent just too much time in service. List on this vehicle was 57,000, trade in $35,000. We were happy to get rid of the vehicle and promise to never buy an Infiniti again.

  • Not much to find fault with - 2013 Infiniti JX
    By -

    Up to 5,000 miles on my JX. Really a great overall package. Perfect for a 4 person family who needs to carry and extra child here and there. Flexible cargo, nice handling and power, an awesome interior design, nice exterior, great electronics (NAV, entertainment, camera and warnings). Not much competition out there until Acura updates the MDX. Really a pleasure to drive for a long weekend, to the beach, around town, etc. Had a minor rattle that dealer had to fix but everything else has been perfect. Style is a matter of taste but I love my liquid platinum. Added roof rails and mud guards. Also, love the rims. Why do so many American-designed cars go with flashy chrome instead?

  • BLOWN AWAY!!! - 2013 Infiniti JX
    By -

    I have never, EVER, reviewed a car, or anything else for that matter. I had to subscribe to edmunds to write this review. This car is AWESOME!! I never thought a car could have so many luxurious amenities.. Had a decked out 2010 RAV-4 before this one. There is just no contest. The JX rides extemely smoothly. The pit holes and bumps on the road that I could feel everyday going to and from work in my old car, are just not there anymore. Would absolutely recommend this baby to any family. Its price is very competitive with features that I dont even think any other luxury maker offers. I am leasing it with all available packages. I will most likely buy it out or lease a new one in 3 yrs!

  • The Infiniti JX35 is CRAPTASTIC - 2013 Infiniti JX
    By -

    Multiple issues w/ front passenger side airbag sensors not working correctly. The airbag would turn off while someone was seated in it. The Infiniti dealer in Fresno wasnt able to fix it, they gave us multiple excuses from "its working as designed" to "your not sitting in it correctly". What a crock!! The transmission failed at 59K miles which was covered under warranty although the new transmission only came with a 12K mile warranty. The wipers would come on whenever the felt like it. The weather stripping for the rear doors would regularly fall off. What topped it all off was the service advisor recommending that we not keep the car past 100K miles! The advisor told my wife that he had looked into buying a JX35 for his wife but opted to buy a Honda due to reliability issues. So last Saturday (7/9/16), was my second best day of JX35 ownership, I sold it! I will never own another Infiniti product ever!

  • Supremely Comfortable and Functional - 2013 Infiniti JX
    By -

    My wife and I are in our early 40s, and we have a toddler. We wanted a car that has all of the practical amenities that we need for our kid and her stuff, along with the luxuries to which wed become accustomed. The JX suited our needs better than any other vehicle on the market. Also, in the big scheme of things, its actually a pretty solid value for what you get. E.g., we only paid about $5000 more for a JX thats loaded with the driver-assistance package and theater package than we wouldve paid for a comparably loaded Toyota Sienna Limited.

  • Honest Review!!!!!!! - 2013 Infiniti JX
    By -

    Im writing a review for the 1st time because I was so annoyed by the so called "Expert Reviewers" about the JX35..They seem to know it all after only test driving the car for few minutes..I also wonder if these experts have little kids to be able to relate why this vehicle is designed for its specific purpose..Why I think my review is more meaningful?? Because I owned many cars (usually 3 to 4 at a time) and I change cars yearly (yeah call it crazy!)..I am only going to talk about the luxury SUV/CUV here bacause the JX is in that category..SUV/CUV I owned were; Lex RX 330, Volvo XC90, Land Rover LR4, Infiniti FX35, Merc Benz ML320, and Lex GX470..No to MDX, X5, n Q7 due to stiff suspension.
