2010 Infiniti QX56 Complaints

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 INFINITI QX56. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED OAS THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT CALLED ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND INSPECTED. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 INFINITY QX56. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING OVER A POT HOLE AT ANY SPEED, THE STEERING WOULD BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE FAILURE WHERE THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSIS AND LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL. THE DEALER ALIGNED THE WHEEL BUT THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS AN 2010 INFINITI QX56. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN 30-40 MPH. WHEN PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL THERE WAS A DELAY RESPONSE. THE CONTACT REQUIRED AN INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE DURING BRAKING. THE FAILURE WAS CONTINUOUS WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE VEHICLE IS THE PROCESS OF BEING TAKEN TO AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15.

A FAULT CODE GETS SET AND DEACTIVATES THE REAR AIR LEVELING SUSPENSION. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, NO AIR TO THE AIR SHOCKS AND IT BOTTOMS OUT. SUPPOSEDLY, ONLY THE DEALER CAN RESET IT. A REAL PROBLEM WHEN TOWING A TRAILER. AND EVEN WORSE, THERE IS NO DRIVER ALERT WHEN IT HAPPENS OR AFTER IT HAS HAPPENED -- YOU JUST LOOSE YOUR REAR SUSPENSION. VERY DANGEROUS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES FOR ME IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS -- EACH TIME I HAVE TOWED A TRAILER I NEED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT RESET. THEY TRIED TO REPLACE THE AIR PUMP, BUT THAT DID NOT WORK. THE DEALER INITIALLY BLAMED AN OVER LOADED TRAILER -- BUT THE TRAILER WAS WEIGHED AND SHOWN NOT TO BE OVERLOADED. MY COMPLAINT HAS TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT THE SUSPENSION IS INTENTIONALLY COMPLETELY DEACTIVATED BY THIS FAULT CODE AND THEIR ARE NO WARNINGS PROVIDED THAT IT IS DEACTIVATED. *TR
