2012 INFINITI QX56 Complaints

I OWN A QX56 AND I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON I WAS TOLD BOTH OF MY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAVE GONE OUT. I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THE SAY IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. DOING A LIL RESEARCH ON IT I SEE PLENTY OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED OR AT LEAST COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. LOVE MY TRUCK BUT DEFINITELY NOT HAPPY RIGHT NOW. INFINITI NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SITUATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 INFINITI QX56. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE AND THE SERVICE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUSTIN INFINITI (8140 BURNET RD, AUSTIN, TX 78757) AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WERE REPLACED TWICE IN ONE YEAR. TWO YEARS LATER, THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,000.

THE FUEL RAIL PRESSURE CENTER MALFUNCTION IS NOT WORKING. CAR STALLS WHEN DRIVING - CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON

MY 2012 INFINITI QX56 WITH HBMC DRIVES VERY TWITCHY AND FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT HADLES WELL ON PERFECTLY SMOOTH ROADS BUT IF THERE ARE ANY IMPERFECTIONS IT TRIES TO JUMP BACK AND FORTH IN THE LANE. I HAVE HAD THE WHEELS BALANCED AND ALIGNMENT PERFORMED AT THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER BUT THIS HAS NOT HELPED THE DRIVING CHARACTERISTICS. IF I AM COMING INTO A CORNER TOO FAST THE BACK END WILL SKIP ABOUT AS IF THE REAR ALIGNMENT IS OUT OF WHACK. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE 22" WHEELS BEING TOO HEAVY OR THE DRIVE BY WIRE BEING CALIBRATED TO SENSITIVE OR IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SUSPENSION THE DEALER IS NOT SPOTTING. I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO TRADE THE CAR IN AFTER ONLY 4 MONTHS AND 8,000 MILES OF DRIVING IT.

AT 82,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING BOTH CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WERE BAD. THEY ARE WARRANTIED TO 80K MILES AND OF COURSE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT HELP. THIS NEEDS A RECALL, GOOGLE QX56 CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE.

THERE'S A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE ONCE WE PARK THE VEHICLE. I DID SOME SEARCHES ONLINE AND NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR NISSAN/INFINIT 2012 VEHICLES DUE TO 'THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSORS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENTLY TIGHTENED DURING PRODUCTION. AS A RESULT, THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR MAY LOOSEN WITH VEHICLE USAGE AND CAUSE A FUEL LEAK. A FUEL LEAK IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE FIRE.' THIS INCLUDES 2012 INFINIT QX56 WHICH IS THE VEHICLE WE HAVE BUT WHEN I SEARCH MY VEHICLES VIN, YOUR SITE TELLS ME THERE IS NO RECALL. I BELIEVE MORE VEHICLES THAN ORIGINALLY THOUGHT MIGHT HAVE THIS RECALL ISSUE.

I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN POSTED BY SEVERAL OTHERS ON THIS SITE WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THE BATTERY (JN8AZ2NE3C9****, JN8AZ2NF1C9****, AND JN8AZ2NC9C9****). I TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED OUT YESTERDAY AND JUST RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE TECHNICIAN. HE STATED THAT BOTH CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND IT WILL COST $5,200. IF THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE, WHY IS INFINITI NOT RECALLING THIS AS AN ISSUE? INSTEAD IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE MAKING CONSUMERS PAY FOR MECHANICAL PROBLEMS THAT THEY ARE CLEARLY AWARE ARE MANUFACTURING PROBLEMS. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO CALL MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO TOW MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE BATTERY WAS BEING COMPLETELY DRAINED. IT WAS TOWED TO INFINITI AFTER A FEW INCIDENTS BUT OF COURSE THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHY I HAD TO KEEP BUYING BATTERIES FOR THE VEHICLE. IF INFINITI FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THESE ISSUES, I WILL NO LONGER PURCHASE THEIR VEHICLES. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS AND IRRESPONSIBLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 INFINITI QX56. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS EXITING THE VEHICLE, THE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN PROPERLY. IN ADDITION, THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS LESS THAN 50,000.

EXPERIENCING ALMOST IDENTICAL ISSUES TO ANOTHER COMPLAINT I SAW THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY FILED (#10924936). TOLD WE NEED TO REPLACE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AT $2,000 EACH. DEALERSHIP SAID IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLES. IF IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE, PERHAPS SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. WE'VE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES. HAD TO CALL AAA SEVERAL TIMES TO JUMP THE VEHICLE.
