2004 Infiniti QX56 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI QX56. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO MANEUVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IPDM BOX FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS A MANUFACTURERS RECALL RELATED TO THE FAILURE BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE EMERGERCNY BRAKE DASH LIGHT WILL BECOME LIT AND ALL BRAKING ACTIONS HAVE DRASTICALLY REDUCED POWER. A AN AUDIBLE GRINDING NOISE IS OBSERVED FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKE PEDDLE HAS LITTLE TO NO RESISTANCE. A RESTART OF THE VEHICLE TEMPORARILY RESOLVE THE ISSUE, BUT THE ISSUE HAS REOCCURED NUMEROUS TIMES AND IS INCREASING IN FREQUENCY.

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT AND DASH LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME.

EMERGENCY BRAKE: E-BRAKE APPEARS TO ENGAGE ON ITS OWN AND THE BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR COMES ON. THERE'S ALSO A GRINDING SOUND WHEN BRAKE IS PRESSED. GRINDING SOUNDS ONLY OCCURS WHEN THIS ISSUE COMES UP. EXHAUST MANIFOLDS: WAS NOTIFIED BY THE DEALER UPON A SERVICE INSPECTION THAT THERE WAS A SMALL CRACK IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. IS THIS A NORMAL THING? AND SHOULD THIS BE A RECALL ITEM AS IT COULD THROW OFF ANY SMOG CHECK TESTING. IN ADDITION HOW ABOUT THE EXHAUST IN THE CABIN ISSUE? MAYBE THEY USED TOO THIN OF A METAL FOR THE MANIFOLDS.

ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY BECAME COMPLETELY LOOSE, MOVING UP AND DOWN (WHILE UNDERWAY, STOPPED, OR WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF). THE ENTIRE COLUMN FROM ALL THE WAY INTO THE DASH, THRU THE COLUMN TO THE STEERING WHEEL MOVES (UNCONTROLLABLY) UP AND DOWN CAUSING SERIOUSLY UNSAFE STEERING AND LOOSE OF CONTROL AND RISK OF A CRASH. BEARING AND SURROUNDING COMPONENTS WITHIN STEERING COLUMN LOOSE/SHEERING AND COMING APART. CONTACT ME FOR INFINITI/NISSAN CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AT INFINITICLASSACTIONLAWSUIT AT GMAIL.
