FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE INDICATE 1/4 TANK DURING MY DRIVE DOWN THE FREEWAY DURING SLIGHT RUSH HOUR. CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS IN THE THIRD LANE OF THE FREEWAY. AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED FROM RUBBER NECKING. INFINITI OF ELK GROVE COULDN'T DIAGNOSE IT RIGHT AWAY AND THE CAR DIED 2 MORE TIMES, ONCE MORE ON THE FREEWAY, AND WAS LUCKY TO GLIDE OFF THE FREEWAY WITH NO POWER STEERING. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED 3 TIMES TO INFINITI, THEY FINALLY DIAGNOSED THE FUEL SENSOR AFTER WE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND TOLD THEM WHAT TO CHECK. CHECKED ALL RECALLS AND THIS WAS LISTED AS A PROBLEM BUT INFINITI REFUSE TO COVER THIS DEFECT. AFTER OWNING A QX56, FX35 AND G35, THE RUDENESS OF THE REPAIR MANAGER LEFT A REALLY BAD TASTE. *TR

AIR BAGS
THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD CONTROL PANEL. UPON INSPECTION AT AN INFINITY DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THE CABLE FOR THE AIR BAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE COST WOULD BE ABOUT $600. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 54,000 MILES AND I DO NOT THINK THERE SHOULD BE A MALFUNCTION OF THE AIR BAG. I WAS TOLD THE AIR BAG MAY OR MAY NOT DEPLOY IF IN A WRECK. *TR

I HAVE BEEN THE OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE JUNE OF 2014 AND PURCHASED IT WITH 53K MILES. THE UNDERBODY HAS SUBSTANTIAL RUST FOR THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS RUST HAS SEIZED THE ALIGNMENT BOLTS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND IT CANNOT BE PROPERLY ALIGNED WITHOUT MAJOR REPAIRS(IN EXCESS OF $1500). A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE SHOULD NOT HAVE CORROSION TO THE EXTENT THAT A REAR END ALIGNMENT IS NOT POSSIBLE. I HAVE TWO OTHER VEHICLES SUBSTANTIALLY OLDER WITH LESS UNDERBODY CORROSION. I BELIEVE THE COATING/PARTS USED ARE DEFECTIVE AND WHEN I CONTACTED INFINITI THEY REFUSED TO COMPENSATE OR MAKE THE REPAIRS. THIS IS TROUBLESOME AS THE ALIGNMENT CAN AFFECT THE STABILITY OF THE VEHICLE AND COULD RESULT IN A ACCIDENT. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 QX56 AND LIKE MANY OF YOU, I MA HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY BRAKES. THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE THEIR IS A GRINDING SOUND AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT AND YOU COULDN'T TELL THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY ROTORS AND THEY "THINK" THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND MADE TO FIX THIS ISSUE.! *TR

THE BRAKES GET HARD AND CANNOT STOP QUICKLY. IT GRINDS AND HAVE TO PARK AND CUT THE ENGINE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN IT WORKS AGAIN. ALMOST CAUSED A FATAL ACCIDENT. THIS IS DEFINITELY A FACTORY DEFECT DUE TO LOTS OF OWNERS ON THE NET HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS NO INDICATION WHEN IT ABOUT TO HAPPEN. IT HAPPENED AT LEAST THREE TIMES SINCE BUYING THIS VEHICLE USED FOR MY WIFE. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS ALSO WITH THE NISSAN ARMADA. CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY DON'T SEEM CONCERNED AT ALL. THEY SAYS TO BRING IT TO YOUR LOCAL DEALER ON MY OWN EXPENSE. THIS IS AN DESIGN PROBLEM DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS FROM CUSTOMERS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT NOT ONLY MY FAMILY SAFETY BUT OTHERS.

THIS LETTER IS IN REFERENCE TO A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT FILED WITH INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON DECEMBER 3, 2009, REGARDING MY VEHICLE SHUTTING COMPLETELY DOWN, STALLED OUT, NOT MOVING IN THE DRIVE OR REVERSE POSITION AT A BUSY INTERSECTION ON A RAINY STORMY EVENING. THIS OCCURRENCE COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR WORSE, A FATALITY. AS A RESULT OF POLICE ASSISTANCE AND HAVING MY VEHICLE TOWED DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP, TO DATE THERE ARE NO MECHANICAL ISSUES FOUND BY THE DEALER RELATED TO MY VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN AT THE INTERSECTION. MY COMPLAINT CONTAINS ADDITIONAL SERIOUS VEHICLE ISSUES REGARDING MY HEADLIGHTS, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, AND THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD. BOTH HEADLIGHTS ON MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. THE BULBS WERE REPLACED AND THE HEADLIGHT FUSES WERE FOUND TO BE FUNCTIONING. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL/CLUSTER LIGHT BLINKS CONSTANTLY AS I DRIVE AND THE PANEL/CLUSTER GAUGES ARE COMPLETELY NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. FUSES HAVE BEEN CHECKED UNDER THE VEHICLE?S HOOD AND RESULTS INDICATE SOME OF THE 10 AMP FUSES ARE NOT FUNCTIONING AT ALL. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY RECALL REGARDING MY 2005 INFINITI QX 56, WHICH APPEARS TO JEOPARDIZE MY SAFETY. THERE ARE NO LEGITIMATE ANSWERS OR EXPLANATIONS AS TO WHY MY VEHICLE?S HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING, THE CLUSTER/PANEL HAS MALFUNCTIONED, OR WHY SOME FUSES UNDERNEATH MY VEHICLE?S HOOD ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. AS A RESULT OF MY VEHICLE?S EXPIRED WARRANTY AND MECHANICAL FAILURES, I HAVE CONSUMED A GREAT DEAL OF OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES, INCLUDING A TRAFFIC CITATION REGARDING MY HEADLIGHTS. I AM LIMITED AND INCONVENIENCED TO DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT AS A RESULT OF MY INOPERABLE HEADLIGHTS WHICH CAN CAUSE ME GREAT HARM. I AM REQUESTING THAT MY SITUATION BE GIVEN SERIOUS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND RESOLUTION. UPDATED 01/21/15

WITH 72000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, TWO THOUSAND OVER WARRANTY, THE TIMING CHAIN HAS TO BE REPLACED. INFINITI REFUSES TO OFFER ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WHEN IT IS AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THAT IS EVIDENCED BY THE FACT THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY RE-ENGINEERED. A TIMING CHAIN FAILURE AT HIGHWAY SPEED WOULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR FATALITY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CAREFULLY MAINTAINED BY NISSAN. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
DURING THE FIRST TWO OCCURRENCES, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN, THE BRAKES APPEARED TO "OPEN UP" CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO THRUST FORWARD IN A SLIDING MOTION INSTEAD OF COMING TO A HALT. WHILE REPEATEDLY PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKING SYSTEM APPEARED EXTREMELY "LOOSE" AND THE BRAKES WOULD APPEAR TO ENGAGE AND QUICKLY DISENGAGE. THE SPAN OF BREAKING FOR EACH OCCURRENCE LASTED ABOUT 200-300 FEET BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD EVENTUALLY COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. FOLLOWING BOTH OCCURRENCES, THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND THE BRAKES APPEARED TO WORK PROPERLY AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. DURING THE THIRD OCCURRENCE, THE EXACT INCIDENCE DESCRIBED ABOVE OCCURRED WHEN TRYING TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP; HOWEVER, THE SPAN OF BREAKING LASTED ABOUT 400 FEET. WHILE CONSTANTLY PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKES WENT FROM BEING EXTREMELY "LOOSE" AND GOING TO THE FLOOR TO BECOMING EXTREMELY HARD AND NOT ENGAGING AT ALL. THE BRAKE PEDAL APPEARED TO HAVE LOCKED AND NO PRESSURE COULD BE APPLIED TO THE PEDAL. ONCE THE PEDAL LOCKED, THE VEHICLE CAME TO A GRADUALLY SLOW STALL AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED WITHOUT THE ABILITY OF APPLYING THE BRAKES. AS WITH THE PREVIOUS TWO OCCURRENCES, THE BRAKING SYSTEM WOULD APPEAR TO OPERATE PROPERLY AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IF I DRIVE OVER ANY KIND OF BUMP, OR GROOVE IN THE ROAD THE BACK END OF THE VEHICLE BOUNCES AND SWAYS AND I HAVE TO GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL EXTRA TIGHT AND HOPE THAT I DON'T LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN I GO OVER BUMPS AT SLOWER SPEEDS BUT IT DOESN'T SWAY FROM SIDE TO SIDE, JUST BOUNCES UP AND DOWN. I FEEL EXTREMELY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AS I NEVER FEEL LIKE I AM FULLY IN CONTROL DUE TO THE BOUNCING/SWAYING!! WE HAVE REPLACED THE SHOCKS AND IT HAS NOT HELPED. *TR

WHILE I'M DRIVING, THE BRAKE LIGHT ON MY CLUSTER WOULD COME ON AND IF I TRY TO BRAKE, THE PEDAL WOULD JUST GO TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE WOULD FEEL AS IF ABS IS KICKING IN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I'VE RAN THROUGH MULTIPLE RED LIGHTS AND PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALKS DUE TO THE BRAKES NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THANK GOD I HAVEN'T HURT ANYONE OR MYSELF DUE TO THIS ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THE DELTA SENSOR. RESEARCHED ONLINE AND READ TONS OF STORIES OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE WHICH APPARENTLY COST $1000 USD TO FIX!! PLEASE MAKE INFINITI RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FIX OR SOMEONE WILL GET HURT OR EVEN WORSE, DEATHS. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE CURRENTLY OWN A 2004 INFINITI QX56. WE HAVE RECEIVED ERROR CODE B1177 WHICH IS FOR THE PRETENSIONER IN SEATBELTS. ADDITIONALLY, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING. WE UNDERSTAND FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO THE BATTERY BEING REPLACED AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BAG ON SHORTLY THEREAFTER AND WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO SCANNED THE CODE. HE ADVISED US OF THE ERROR CODE AND WHAT IT WAS ASSOCIATED WITH. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, IT APPEARS THAT AN EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF OWNERS OF THE INFINITI QX56 AS WELL AS THE NISSAN ARMADA (SISTER VEHICLE) HAVE THIS EXACT ISSUE. WE ARE UNSURE AS TO WHETHER THE AIRBAGS WILL FAIL IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OR IF THE SAFETY BELTS WILL ALSO NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE HAS A 10 YEAR SEATBELT WARRANTY BUT THE DEALERS ARE STATING THAT THIS ITEM IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS OBVIOUS NEGLECT AND DEFECT ON THE MANUFACTURER'S PART AND PUTS THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES AT SERIOUS RISK. WE ARE A FAMILY OF 5 WITH 3 SMALL CHILDREN. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE OR TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY RELATED ISSUE. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH, TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME BEGAN TO SLOW. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE BREAK PEDAL ALMOST WENT TO THE FLOOR AND MADE A BANGING OR THUMPING NOISE. IT FELT LIKE THE ABS WENT OFF AND I ALMOST RAN INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE AND WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND SUGGEST TO START REPLACING PARTS AT THE COST OF A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS YESTERDAY WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY. AGAIN I HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY AS THERE WAS DEBRIS IN THE ROADWAY AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. *TR

RANDOM INSTANCES OF BRAKE LIGHT COMING ON FOLLOWED BY LIMITED BRAKING, SHUTTERING AND PULSING OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. A COMMON AND KNOWN ISSUE AFFECTING QX56, ARMADAS AND TITANS FROM THE MID 2000'S THAT NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

VISIBILITY, STRUCTURE
BACKING UP IN PARKING LOT SLOWLY (3MPH), UTILIZING ALL MIRRORS, GLANCING OVER BOTH SHOULDERS WHEN I BACKED INTO A VEHICLE'S BUMPER CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY BUMPER WHILE NONE TO THE OTHER CAR. THE INFINITI QX56 IS EQUIPPED WITH CAMERA AIDING CORNER SONAR AND MOD (MOVING OBJECT DETECTION). THE SONAR SYSTEM UTILIZES CAMERAS ON THE VEHICLE WHICH ARE DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY SCREEN AS WELL AS AUDIBLE TONES WHICH INCREASE IN INTERMITTENT FREQUENCY UP TO CONTINUOUSLY, THE CLOSER THE OBJECT BECOMES. THE CORNER SONAR IS ADJUSTABLE TO HIGHER OR LOWER SENSITIVITY AND IS SET TO THE HIGHEST SETTING WHICH SOUNDS A TONE TO INFORM THE DRIVER OF OBSTACLES NEAR THE BUMPER - PER THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE MOD SYSTEM INFORMS THE DRIVER OF MOVING OBJECTS SURROUNDING THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING OUT OF GARAGES, MANEUVERING INTO PARKING LOTS AND IN OTHER SUCH INSTANCES AND IS AUTOMATICALLY TURNED ON WHEN THE SELECTOR LEVER IS IN THE R (REVERSE) POSITION. HOWEVER, THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT WHILE THE SONAR IS BEEPING, THE MOD SYSTEM DOES NOT CHIME.THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS VEHICLE'S SAFETY FEATURES HAVE NOT PERFORMED IN REVERSE WITH NO SONAR TONES NOR MOD CHIMES SOUNDING AN ALERT. I REPORTED THIS ISSUE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, AFTER THE FIRST FAILURE TO ALERT WHICH RESULTED IN MINOR DAMAGE TO THIS VEHICLE'S BUMPER BY CONTACT WITH A STATIONARY SIGN POLE IN A PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED WITH NO MALFUNCTIONS FOUND AND I WAS ADVISED (PER INFINITI'S DISCLAIMER'S) TO NOT JUST USE THESE TOOLS TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS, BUT TO USE THEM IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR, SIDE-VIEW MIRRORS, AND LOOKING AND CHECKING TO MAKE SURE IT IS SAFE TO MOVE. THESE ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES WERE VERY IMPORTANT TO OUR PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE AS I WANT TO FEEL SAFE IN A VEHICLE AND KNOW THAT THE VEHICLE'S FEATURES/OPTIONS OPERATE AS INTENDED AND IS RELIABLE. *TR

OH MY ... WHAT A BAD PROBLEM. AFTER IDLING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES WHEN IT WAS ABOUT 90DEGF OUTSIDE THE "BRAKE" LIGHT CAME ON ... THEN WHEN TRYING TO MOVE THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. THEY HAD A VERY BAD VIBRATION IN THE PEDAL AND MADE GRINDING AND SPRING POPPING NOISES. EVEN THOUGH GOING SLOW (<30 MPH) THE CAR WOULD BARELY STOP. I CANNOT IMAGINE THIS HAPPENING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. VERY DANGEROUS. TURNING THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON RESOLVED THE PROBLEM, BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN AT A VERY BAD TIME. THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE CHECKED AND THEY ARE FINE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A DEFINITIVE FIX AND RECALL FOR THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR
