2013 Infiniti QX56 Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ACROSS A BRIDGE IN TOWN GOING ABOUT 40MPH. NOTHING WAS OVER HEAD, DRIVING CONDITIONS WERE GOOD, WEATHER CLEAR AND ALL OF SUDDEN OUT OF NO WHERE I HEARD AN EXPLOSION. EXTREMELY LOUD, MADE MY EARS RING. I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT SOMETHING BLEW UP OR MY CAR HAD BEEN SHOT. I STARTED HEARING PIECES OF GLASS HIT MY SUNROOF COVER AND PULLED UP TO FIND MY GLASS HAD EXPLODED AND LEFT A HUGE HOLE IN MY SUNROOF. THE GLASS EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE INFINITI DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW. THEY AGREED THAT IT HAD EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND SAID THEY HAD SEEN THIS BEFORE. I WAS ASKED TO PAY $1261 TO REPLACE THE GLASS SINCE MY CAR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY.

CATALYST PROBLEM P0420 P0420. SEEN SAME VEHICLES BEING RECALLED.

LOUD WHISTLING/WHINING SOUND FROM THE MOTOR AT START UP. EXTREME LOSS OF POWER WHEN STARTING UP A GRADE OR TO GET UP TO SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE CAUSING FEAR OF REAR END COLLISION. IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT RESULTS IN A TIMING CHAIN OR CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPAIR, COSTING SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS. IT APPEARS INFINITI IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT WON'T ISSUE A RECALL FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. THIS VEHICLE IS NOW VIRTUALLY INOPERABLE AS IT IS NOT SAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD UNTIL IT IS FIXED.

HEAR ABNORMAL NOISES FROM THE ENGINE SOUND LIKE RATTLE OR TICKING
