SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHILE DRIVING QX56 AT APPROX 40 MPH BRAKE LIGHT ON DASH CAME ON. AT INTERSECTION TO TURN LEFT BRAKES WOULD NOT FUNCTION AND SLOWING DOWN WAS DIFFICULT. THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNK AND "BOING" SOUND WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. TURNED TO AVOID TRAFFIC AND STARTED UP HILL ALLOWING SPEED TO DECREASE. MOTOR WAS TURNED OFF. WHEN RESTARTED TO EXAMINE FAILURE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON AND BRAKE SEEMED TO WORK FINE. CONTACTED LOCAL INFINITY DEALER, WAS TOLD IT WAS BRAKE BOOSTER AND WOULD MOST LIKELY NEED REPLACED. WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO SERVICE BULLETIN OR RECALL BUT THEY HAVE SEEN THE ISSUE QUITE A FEW TIMES. *KB

STEERING
I OWN 2010 QX56. ON NOVEMBER 16TH I WAS COMING OUT OF PARKING GARAGE AT CHICAGO O'HARE AIRPORT. AFTER I PASS THE PAY BOOTH, WITH IN 15 FEET AT THE SPEED OF 4 TO 5 MILES PER HOUR, I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE OF SOME MALFUNCTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY. STEERING WHEEL MOVED 180 DEGREE IN ONE SECOND AND HIT THE PAY-BOOTH. CAR HIT THE SIDE PAVEMENTS OF THE PAY-BOOTH AND CAUSED THE FLAT TIRE, DAMAGE THE BODY OF THE CAR AND STEERING WHEEL GOT LOCKED. ALL THE POWER-STEERING FLUID GOT LEAKED OUT. I HAD A FRACTURED THUMB BECAUSE OF THE RAPID MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND ENDED UP TOWING TO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALER REPLACED THE WHOLE STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY. THIS CAN BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GO ON A HIGHWAY. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE EXPRESSWAY. I AM NOT SURE I WOULD BE ALIVE. *KB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
PERIODICALLY, ON THE ORDER OF ONCE EVERY MONTH OR TWO MONTHS, THE ANTILOCK BRAKES BECOME ERRATIC. THE PEDAL GOES SOFT AND THE BRAKES ENGAGE EXTREMELY VIOLENTLY. WHEN IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED MY INFINITI DEALER. I KEPT THE ENGINE RUNNING WHILE I EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED AND WAS TOLD TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE, WAIT ABOUT TEN SECONDS AND THEN RESTART THE SUV. THE BRAKES WORKED NORMALLY AFTER THAT. I WAS TOLD THE "COMPUTER HAD TO BE RE-BOOTED". THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN ON AND OFF ABOUT EVERY MONTH OR TWO. NEVER WAS GIVEN A SATISFACTORY EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THIS OCCURS. WHEN IT HAPPENS IF THERE IS NO TRAFFIC AROUND, I PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, TURN OFF THE KEY, THEN RESTART THE CAR AND THE PROBLEM RESOLVES. IF I AM IN TRAFFIC I SLOW DOWN GINGERLY, THEN PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN OFF THE KEY AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THIS RESOLVES THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ON 9-4-2011 I LEFT TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA. AS I GOT TO THE EDGE OF TOWN I NOTICED IT STARTED TO IDLE SLIGHTLY HIGH. BY THE TIME I GOT TO THOMASVILLE, GEORGIA, IT WOULD ACCELERATE TO ABOUT 45 MPH WITHOUT ANY ACCELERATION PRESSURE AND THE BRAKES WERE REQUIRED FREQUENTLY. BETWEEN THOMASVILLE AND MOULTRIE, GEORGIA, IT WOULD ACCELERATE INDEPENDENTLY BUT IT WOULD DROP DOWN IF I PRESSED AND RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR. IT ALSO SEEMED TO MAINTAIN SPEED A BIT BETTER IF I USED THE CRUISE CONTROL. AS I TURNED ONTO MACK DEKLE ROAD JUST SOUTH OF MOULTRIE, THE ENGINE TACKED OUT INTO THE (MAXIMUM) RED AREA. IN A PANIC, I PRESSED THE BRAKE AND SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH TO FORCE IT TO "PARK". I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES AND IT REVVED TO MAXIMUM RPMS. I LEFT IT IN THE LANE AND CALLED MY WIFE WHO CALLED CTV TOWING. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES I STARTED IT AND IT IDLED NORMALLY SO I CAREFULLY MOVED IT TO THE LEE LEWIS ROAD (LESS TRAFFIC AND SPEED). THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO NAPPLETON INFINITY IN TALLAHSSEE, FLORIDA ON MONDAY. I CALLED THE INFINITY DEALER TO TELL THEM IT WAS COMING. AFTER RUNNING COMPUTER CHECKS AND TEST DRIVING, THEY CONCLUDING THAT THE ACCELERATOR WAS HUNG ON THE FLOOR MAT. THAT IS ACTUALLY NOT THE CASE AS THERE WAS AN OBVIOUS SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION THAT STARTED IN TALLAHASSEE. THE FLOOR MAT WAS NOT MOVED BETWEEN THE TIME THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON MACK DEKLE ROAD AND THE TIME IT IDLED/RAN NORMALLY TO MOVE IT TO LEE LEWIS ROAD. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE STANDARD QX56 COMES WITH MORE THAN ADEQUATE ROOM FOR ANY SIZE SHOE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. LESS THAN 10% OF THE QX MODELS ARE ORDERED WITH THE TECHNOLOGY PACKAGE. THIS PACKAGE INCLUDES A DESIGN FEATURE THAT CAUSES THE GAS PEDAL TO PUSH BACK AGAINST THE OPERATORS FOOT IF THE RADAR SENSES THAT THE VEHICLE IS CLOSING DISTANCE TOO QUICKLY ON THE VEHICLE AHEAD. THE MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL DEVICE THAT PERFORMS THIS ACTION IS MOUNTED TO THE FIREWALL AT THE TOP OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I AM 6'3" TALL AND HAVE A SIZE 12 SHOE. THE TIP OF MY SHOE KEEPS GETTING CAUGHT UNDER THIS MECHANICAL DEVICE AND ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS IN THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNERSHIP IT HAS CAUSED A MOMENTARY DELAY IN QUICKLY MOVING FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE HANG UP OF THE TIP OF MY SHOE IS EXAGGERATED GREATLY BY DRESS SHOES WITH A FIRMER TIP OF THE SOLE OF THE SHOE. AGAIN, THIS DEVICE IS ONLY PRESENT ON QX MODELS WITH THE TECHNOLOGY PACKAGE. THIS TECH PACKAGE DEVICE ALSO GETS IN THE WAY AS YOU GO TO PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM IS TO ALWAYS REMEMBER TO PLACE YOUR RIGHT HEEL AT LEAST 2" AWAY FROM THE BASE OF THE GAS PEDAL AND PUSH IT ONLY WITH YOUR TOES. MOVING YOUR HEEL AWAY FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE PEDAL RESULTS IN THE TIP OF YOUR SHOE TOUCHING THE PEDAL LOWER AND JUST BRUSHING THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TECH PACKAGE DEVICE. I HAVE CONTACTED CONSUMER SUPPORT AT INFINITI USA AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD COMPLAINTS BUT "THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS FOR PEOPLE WITH BIGGER FEET". I GUESS THEY DON'T HAVE SIZE 12 IN JAPAN. THIS IS A HAZARD WHEN THE TIP OF MY RIGHT SHOE GETS CAUGHT AND PREVENTS ME FROM MOVING QUICKLY TO THE BRAKE. *TT

HOWEVER, HE WAS INFORMED THAT FOR HIS MODEL THE PARTS WERE NOT DEFECTIVE, AND THEREFORE DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL. ALSO, ALL FOUR BELT PRE-TENSIONS HAD TO BE REPLACED ON BOTH SIDE. THE CONSUMER STATED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE PRE-TENSIONS FAILED. EACH TIME THEY FAILED, IT RENDERED THE AIR BAGS NON-FUNCTIONAL.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, EQUIPMENT
I HAVE A 2006 INFINITI QX56 WITH 46,000 MILE ON IT, AND MY BRAKES FAILED ON ME APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES ALREADY, BUT JUST COMING OUT OF A DRIVE WAY OR BACKING UP FROM A PARKING LOT, I WOULD HAVE TO TURN OFF THE TRUCK AND TURN IT BACK ON FOR THE BRAKES TO FUNCTION NORMAL AGAIN. WHEN IT FAILED AND I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH WOULD TURN ON AND I WOULD HEAR GRINDING NOISE FROM THE BRAKES AND IT SEEMS AS THE PADS ARE BARLEY GRABBING THE ROTORS. IT BEEN A SCARY EXPERIENCE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. IT MY FAMILY TRUCK AND I HAVE A WIFE AND 4 KIDS. I WAS ALSO TOLD IT COULD BE THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE FOR THE NISSAN ARMADAS AND INFINITI QX56. *TR

SERIOUS BRAKE FAILURE ON A 2006 INFINITY QX56. THE BRAKE LIGHT RANDOMLY COME ON AND THEN THE BRAKE SYSTEM ESSENTIALLY FAILS, WITH LOUD MECHANICAL SOUNDS, SHUTTERING OF THE TRUCK, AND ESSENTIALLY AN INABILITY TO STOP THE TRUCK. THERE IS NO WAY TO PREDICT ITS OCCURRENCE AND THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION. *TR

INTERMITTENTLY IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS MY INFINITI Q56'S BRAKES HAVE BEEN BECOMING SOFT AND GRINDING WHEN TRYING TO STOP. THE BRAKE LIGHT AND THE SLIP LIGHT ALSO COME ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS. WHEN I STOP THE VEHICLE AND TURN OFF THE MOTOR, REMOVE THE KEY AND THEN RESTART IT WILL RESET THE BRAKES AND THEY WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL. IN THE PAST WEEK THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERYTIME I DRIVE IT. IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED AND EVERYTHING IS GOOD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THEY SAID IMMEDIATELY THAT IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY MUST BE SEEING THIS PROBLEM ON A REGULAR BASIS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE TO TELL ME WHAT IT WAS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR Q56'S AND NISSAN ARMADAS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE COMPANY SHOULD BE RECALLING THE VEHICLES AND FIXING THEM. THIS ISN'T A MAINTENANCE ISSUE, ITS A COMPONENT FAILURE. *TT

2008 INFINITY QX56 BRAKE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. ON JUNE 30, 2011, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AND TURNING INTO A SUBDIVISION AND TRYING TO APPLY THE BREAKS, A LOUD SCREECHING SOUND WAS HEARD AND THE BRAKES FILED AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES THEY FINALLY WORKED. THIS WAS A DAY AFTER THE CAR WOULD NOT IN A PARKING LOT BECAUSE THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. WE HAD AAA JUMP START THE CAR AND WERE INFORMED THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED OR NOT. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE. THE COMPUTER DID NOT REGISTER THE BRAKE LIGHT COMING ON SO THEY HAD NO MORE INFORMATION. WE FOUND A POST ON THE ARMADA FORUM CLUB (HTTP://WWW.CLUBARMADA.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=20102&PAGE=3) OUTLINING SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES AND NISSAN STILL FAILS TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS. MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING WITH OUT 3 CHILDREN AND WE ARE LUCKY SHE DID NOT NEED TO STOP SUDDENLY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THEE DEALERSHIP IS GOING TO DO RESEARCH BUT SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

APPLIED PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES AND BRAKES START TO GRAB AND MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. AFTER THIS OCCURS THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND I HAVE A CONTINUOUS GRABBING AS IF THE BRAKES ARE ABOUT TO LOCK. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE ALREADY THE FIRST TIME THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. THE SECOND TIME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG I AM STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND WILL BE RETURNING MY VEHICLE BACK FOR A THIRD TIME.

THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER ADVISED THAT IT WOULD BE MONTHS BEFORE A NEW WINDSHIELD WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING TO INDICATE THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS STRUCK BY ANY DEBRIS. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 3,000. UPDATED 07/08/11*LJ

SUSPENSION
OUR 2011 INFINITI QX56 CANNOT BE PROPERLY CONTROLLED AT SPEED WHEN ANY ROUGH PAVEMENT, POT HOLE, BRIDGE CONNECTION JOINTS, OR SIMILAR IS RAN OVER. THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY WITH LITTLE IF ANY CONTROL BY THE DRIVER. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE DRIFTS OUT OF THE LANE. NO ACCIDENTS HAVE EVER OCCURRED BUT AT LEAST THREE NEAR MISSES ON INTERSTATE DRIVING HAVE OCCURRED. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT IS SCARY AND QUITE DANGEROUS. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
IN MY 2005 INFINITI QX56 THE DOOR HANDLE GETS STUCK WHEN IT IS COLD (AROUND OR BELOW 15 DEGREES). THE DOOR SEEMS LIKE IT IS CLOSED BUT IT IS NOT AND DURING TUNS IT SWING OPENS. I HAD TO TIE IT WITH WHATEVER I HAD AVAILABLE TO THE SEAT TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE BACK HOME. SEARCHING ONLINE, I FOUND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH INFINITI AND NISSAN AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR IT AND THE DEALER CHARGES AROUND $300-$500 TO FIX THIS. WHICH IS VERY UNFAIR. I AM REQUESTING YOU TO PLEASE EXPOSE THIS ISSUE SO NISSAN FIXES THIS. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. DEALER STATES THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER WIRING. OWNERS MANUAL STATES THAT IF THIS LIGHT COMES ON, IT MOST LIKELY MEANS THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL. SEAT BELTS AND AIRBAGS ARE KEY SAFETY MEASURES. TO HAVE THEM BE NOT FUNCTIONING IS A MAJOR CONCERN. IF YOU PUT IN A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR "AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING INFINITI QX56" YOU WILL FIND HUNDREDS OF POSTINGS FROM PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS, SO THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. *TR
