2012 INFINITI QX56 Complaints

MY AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM. THE ISSUE THAT THEY REPORTED TO ME WAS "PAST CODE FOR AIR BAG PASSENGER SIDE: WILL NEED TO REPLACE DIAGNOSTICS MODULE TO BEGIN DIAGNOSIS."

THE PAINT ON MY 2012 QX 56 INFINITI IS PEELING REALLY BAD. I'VE SPOKE WITH SOMEONE AT THE COOPERATE LEVEL AND WAS TOLD THEIR WAS A RECALL ON THEM. THE DEALERSHIP WAS SUPPOSE TO REPAINT THE WHOLE VEHICLE, BUT I WAS NEVER CONTACTED. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE ASSOCIATE & MANGER, I WAS TOLD THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO.

THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF THE TOP OF THE ROOF ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY THE ROOF RACKS, IN FRONT BY THE WINDSHIELD THERE IS A SPOT THAT IS LARGER THAN A HALF DOLLAR AND ON THE DRIVER SIDE REAR A SPOT ABOUT 6-8 INCHES IN DIAMETER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 INFINITI QX56. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY FAILED PREMATURELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER, AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A FAILURE CODE THEREFORE, THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE UNKNOWN DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BATTERY FAILURE COULD BE CAUSED BY PARASITIC DRAIN OR A RELAY FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.*DT*JB

I TOOK MY 2012 QX56 INFINITI TO INFINITI IN AUSTIN TEXAS AND THEY TOLD ME BOTH OF MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER OR OUT THIS NEED TO BE A RECALL ISSUE WANT ME TO SPEND OVER $4,000 FOR BOTH TO REPLACE. *TR

A WHINE OR HISS WHEN I START THE VEHICLE AND IT GOES AWAY AFTER ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES. IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE A TIMING CHAIN ISSUE BY MY MECHANIC. THERE APPEARS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FOR THE 2012 QX56, BUT NOT FOR MY SPECIFIC VIN. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE NHTSA ALLOWS A MANUFACTURER TO ONLY INCLUDE A PORTION OF THE 2012 MODEL AND NOT OTHERS. THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL! DOES SOMEONE AT THE NHTSA RECONCILE THE 2012 QX56 VEHICLES SOLD VERSUS THE VINS ELIGIBLE TO BE COVERED UNDER THIS SAFETY RECALL NOTICE? OBVIOUSLY, OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM! I SUGGEST THE NHTSA TAKE SAFETY RECALL NOTICES MORE SERIOUS AND HOLD MANUFACTURERS ACCOUNTABLE!!!

MY WIFE DROVE TO MY DAUGHTERS SCHOOL SCHOOL FOR A BASKETBALL PRACTICE. SHE LOCKED THE DOORS USING THE KEYFOB LIKE ALWAYS. WHEN SHE GOT BACK TO THE CAR SHE UNLOCK THE DOORS USING THE KEYFOB, BUT THIS TIME THE DRIVERS DOOR DID NOT OPEN. SHE TRIED USING THE DOOR ENTRY BUTTON ON THE HANDLE WHICH DID NOT WORK. SHE THEN GOT IN THRU THE PASSENGER DOOR AND TRIED TO PULL THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND THAT DID NOT WORK. FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR SHE HAD TO CLIMB OVER THE CENTER CONSOLE TO GET INTO THE DRIVER SEAT. I CHECKED THE OPERATION MYSELF WHEN SHE GOT HOME AND I COULD NOT FIND A WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THE PLASTIC ACTUATOR AND ITS COMPONENT. WITH THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, I AM SURPRISED THERE ISN'T A RECALL SIMILAR TO THE TAKATA AIRBAGS SINCE THIS WOULD NO PASS AN INSPECTION AND WOULD BE A HAZARD IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 INFINITY QX56. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG COVER WAS CRACKING. THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND THE ISSUE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE AIR BAG COULD DEPLOY WITHOUT WARNING SINCE IT WAS CRACKED AND POSSIBLY INJURIE THE PASSENGER. THE CONTACT WENT TO INFINITI OF CORAL GABLES (2701 S LE JEUNE RD CORAL GABLES, FL 33134 (786) 899-5127) WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE OR DIAGNOSES AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AFTER DRIVING TO A STORE OR APPT. AND PARK . GO OUT TO A COMPLETELY DEAD VEHICLE. JUMP START TO GET GOING MAY GO FOR A MONTH OR SO AND IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITH NO WARNING.

MY 2012 INFINITI QX56 NEEDS A NEW TIMING CHAIN AND INIFINITI SAID THERE WAS A RECALL BUT NOT ON MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER. IT SEEMS ODD THAT I HAVE THE YEAR AND MAKE OF THE CAR WITH THE EXACT REPAIRS NEEDED AS THE RECALL BUT THEY AREN'T COVERING IT.
