2008 Infiniti QX56 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 INFINITI QX56. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE REFLECTED AN INCORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED ADEQUATE FUEL IN THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND RAN OUT OF FUEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A COMMON FAILURE IN SIMILAR VEHICLES. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

CONSTANT MOISTURE BUILD UP CAUSING HEADLIGHT BURNOUT A DANGEROUS SITUATION DIDN'T KNOW UNTIL POLICE PULLED ME OVER. FIVE TIMES THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED. VERY EXPENSIVE FIX AND EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT. UNFAIR TO CONSUMER AUTO SHOPS SAYS THE COMPANY KNOWS ABOUT IT. A SAFETY RECALL IS NEEDED.

I HEAR I PING SOUND LIKE A SPRING, THE BREAK LIGHT COMES ON AND I AM UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AS NORMAL. APPEARS THE VEHICLE IS ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN BUT DOES NOT COME TO STOP AS IT NORMALLY SHOULD. ONCE I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF THEN BACK ON IT'S JUST FINE UNTIL IT RANDOMLY OCCURS AGAIN WHEN APPLYING THE BREAKS AND/OR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IDLE AND THE BREAK LIGHT COMES ON. THIS ISSUE ONLY RESOLVED ITSELF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF THEN BACK ON. IT IS EXTREMELY ALARMING AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

THE BRAKES ON MY VEHICLE HAS A STRANGE REACTION WHEN I BRAKE AT TIMES AND IS HESITANT TO STOP. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN BUT IT'S SCARY. USUALLY AFTER I STOP THE VEHICLE, CUT IT OFF & CRANK IT AGAIN THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY ONLY TO DO IT AGAIN ON A LATER DATE. AFTER GOING ONLINE I FIND THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH INFINITI QX56 & NISSAN ARMADA'S. I'M SURE WHETHER OR NOT IT'S A ABS SENSOR MALFUNCTION OR WHAT BUT THANKFULLY IT HAVEN'T HAPPENED WHILE BEING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC BECAUSE I FEAR I'LL REAR END ANOTHER MOTORIST.

THE AIR FLOW PANEL ON MY DASH HAS MELTED AND IS CAUSING AIR FLOW PROBLEMS. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO RUN HOT AIR IN THE WINTER TO DEFROST THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND WHEN I DO RUN IT THE FLOW IS SOME WHAT BLOCKED.
