The contact owns a 2005 Infiniti QX56. The contact stated that while driving approximately 75 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The vehicle was later towed to the residence where it was discovered that no fuel was present although the fuel gauge indicated that there was a quarter tank of fuel in the tank. After adding fuel, the vehicle was restarted, and the vehicle operated as designed. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the NHTSA Campaign Number 10V074000 (Fuel System, Other). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 150,000.

THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER TO THE BRAKES WHILE DRIVING INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN PROBLEM OCCURS YOU WILL LOSE POWER STEERING AND PRESSURE TO BRAKING SYSTEM. ALSO THE DRIVER HID HEADLAMP GETS MOISTURE IN IT WHENEVER IT RAINS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HID BULB ABOUT 6 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. ALSO THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE ONBOARD COMPUTER THAT CAUSES THE TACHOMETER TO NOT WORK OR READ CORRECTLY.

DRIVING 30 MPH IN MANHATTAN NEW YORK CAME TO A RED LIGHT PRESSED BRAKE PEDAL FELT NO BRAKES PUMPED BRAKES FELT LIKE THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO BRAKING ABS LIGHT CAME ON SO DID BRAKE LIGHT RAN THROUGH THE RED THANK GOD NO CARS WHERE I FRONT OF ME ,EVENTUALLY STOPPED PULLED ASIDE THEN TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND THEN ON THE BRAKES WORKED FINE TOOK IT TO STRAIGHT TO MECHANIC BECAUSE I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE TRUCK .

CALLED INFINITI NORTH AMERICA HOTLINE AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS SERIOUS PROBLEMS THEY TOLD ME TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM SERVICE THE CAR SO NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE A CAR WITH BRAKE MAYBE WORKING OR MAYBE NOT WORKING TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP POTENTIALLY OVERCHARGE ME TO FIX A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT I'M HAPPY THAT I WAS IN BROOKLYN DRIVING ONLY 25 -30 PER WITHOUT MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR.I LIVE IN JERSEY AND NORMALLY ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING (50-65 DEPENDING ON POSTED SPEED LIMITS IF THIS BRAKE PROBLEM HAPPENED OMG . I READ UP ON THE CODE AND FOUND NUMEROUS VEHICLES COMPLIANTS ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS BRAKE PROBLEM. C1179 DELTA STROKE SENSOR NISSAN TITAN. NISSAN ARMADA AND INFINITI QX56 2004 - APROX 2010 THEY NEED TO ISSUE A RECALL TO MAKE THESE VEHICLES SAFE TO DRIVE

WHILE DRIVING IN RESIDENTIAL/BUSINESS AREA MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST POWER AND TURNED OFF. I DRIFTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT POWER STEERING. TRIED TO START VEHICLE AGAIN. VEHICLE WOULD START BUT WOULD IMMEDIATELY DIE-WOULD NOT IDLE. AFTER RESTING APPROX 5 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO START AGAIN AND CONTINUE HOME. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. I ALSO CANNOT KEEP THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT WORKING. BULBS CONSTANTLY BLOW OUT AT OVER 300.00 DOLLARS EACH. *TR

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, SEEMINGLY AFTER SLOW DRIVING WHERE THERE ARE MANY STOP SIGNS NOT TOO FAR APART, THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON, THE BRAKE PEDAL WEAKENS AND BRAKE SYSTEM MAKES A RATTLING NOISE WHEN THE PEDAL IS PRESSED. THEN I TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART IT AND ALL IS BACK TO NORMAL UNTIL THE NEXT TIME, CAN BE DAYS OR SOMETIMES WEEKS.

WHEN DRIVING, THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON FOR NO REASON AND CAUSES THE BRAKES TO WORK INAPPROPRIATELY. IT BECOMES VERY HARD TO BRAKE. THE BRAKES SEEM TO FALL THROUGH AND THERE IS A GRINDING SOUND FROM THE BRAKES. IF I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, AND THEN BACK ON IT WORKS FINE. THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN SPARATICALLY.

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON INTERSTATE I-95 DURING RUSH HOUR AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES/HOUR, I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL DROPPED DOWN AND STARTED MAKING A WEIRD NOISE (LIKE GRINDING SOUND) AND THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP. THE ABS LIGHT TURNED ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON, THE PEDAL LOST PRESSURE AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP. I ENDED UP IN A CRASH, REAR-ENDING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR HAS NOW BEEN REPAIRED FROM DAMAGES FROM CRASH BUT MECHANIC FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH BRAKE SYSTEM. ABS SENSORS, CALIPERS, DISKS AND PADS WHERE CHANGED AS PRECAUTION BUT PROBLEM REAPPEARS FROM TIME TO TIME AND SEEMS TO RESET WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND ON AGAIN (BRAKE PETAL RAISED BACK UP, GRINDING SOUND DISAPPEARS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT SHUT OFF). I VISITED TWO INFINITY DEALERS AND BOTH OF THEM MENTIONED THAT IT WAS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL CAR AND THE PROBLEM WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER'S DESIGN.

FUEL GAUGE SHOWS 1/4 TANK BUT IT IS EMPTY. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL ON THE HIGHWAY. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION COULD HAVE OCCURRED. WAS ABLE TO FIND SAFETY BESIDE THE HIGHWAY BUT THANKFUL IT DID NOT HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. THERE IS A KNOCKING SOUND THAT OCCURS AS WELL WHEN I'M DRIVING. I'M CONCERNED IF I'M INVOLVED IN A COLLISION MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. I CONTACTED INFINITI AND WAS TOLD THEY NEED TO RESET IT AND WILL COST $800.00 AND MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER IT AND WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL LIST. THE IPDM ECM RELAY SWITCH CAUSES MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGE TO GO IN AND OUT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, MY TRUCK JERKS TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS, IT WILL SOMETIMES START UP AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, IT CAUSES THE RPM'S TO READ OVER 7 WHEN I'M ONLY DRIVING 60 MPH. IT SHOULD READ BETWEEN 2 AND 3 RPM'S. I'M CONSTANTLY SWITCHING THE ECM RELAY PLUGS TO START MY TRUCK. THE AIR BAG AND IPDM ECM RELAY WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I PURCHASED IT 4YEARS AGO.

RANDOMLY, I WILL STEP ON THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKES BEGIN TO PULSATE. THEN IT SOUNDS LIKE GRINDING SOUND AND THE BRAKE PEDAL LOSES PRESSURE. ALMOST LIKE IT HIT A VOID AND DROPPED TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO TRY AND SLOW DOWN VEHICLE TO COME TO A STOP. CALIPERS AND PADS WERE ALL CHANGED, PER DEALER FINDINGS. AND IT CONTINUED. I DO NOT GO OVER 40 MPH FOR FEAR OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN. IT'S CLEARLY AND UNSAFE SITUATION AND THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY ONLY HEAR THIS WHEN PEOPLE HAVE BACK BRAKES. GUESS WHAT, I BROUGHT IT TO ANOTHER INFINITI SERVICE CENTER, AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING EVEN THOUGHT THE OTHER SERVICE CENTER REPLACED JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING. ANOTHER MECHANIC, FROM THE SERVICE CENTER, TOOK ME ASIDE AND SAID THIS IS FREQUENTLY HAPPENING WITH THIS MODEL AND IT IS A MASTER CYLINDER ISSUE FROM DESIGN. COME ON INFINITI, FIX THIS!

AFTER DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, SLOW SPEED WITH MANY STOPS, THE BRAKE PEDAL LOSES POWER AND BEGINS TO PULSATE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON THE DASHBOARD. TURMING THE VEHICLE ON/OFF SEEMS TO RESET THE CAR AND THE ISSUE IS RESLOVED.

I AM HAVING BRAKE ISSUES WITH MY 2005 INFINITI QX56. THE BRAKE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. IT IS ALSO VERY HARD TO GET IT TO COME TO A STOP. JUST YESTERDAY, I ALMOST COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. I AM ALSO HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. I HAVE RUN OUT OF FUEL 3 TIMES AND EACH TIME THE THE GAUGE IS SHOWING BETWEEN 1/2 AND 1/4 FULL. BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2017 WE WERE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. ALL OF A SUDDEN WE LOST POWER AND WE WERE GOING 70 MILES AN HOUR. WE WERE IN THE PASSING LANE AND WE LUCKY TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE WERE ALMOST IN A SEVERE ACCIDENT. I HAVE RESEARCHED BOTH ISSUES ONLINE. I KNOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON THESE ISSUES. WHEN I CALLED INFINITI ABOUT THIS, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS IN FACT RECALLS BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. OBVIOUSLY, IF I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH BOTH OF THE THINGS AND THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON BOTH OF THEM, MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE ON THIS RECALL LIST. I SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE PEOPLE ARE SEVERELY INJURED OR WORSE.

WHILE DRIVING ,I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL DROPPED DOWN AND STARTED MAKING A WEIRD NOISE KIND OF LIKE LOOSE METAL PARTS AND THE TRUCK WOULDN'T STOP. THE ABS LIGHT TURNED ON. IT FELT LIKE THE BRAKES LOCKED UP . I MANAGED TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF. I TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT SEEMED TO RESET THE SYSTEM. BRAKE PETAL RAISED BACK UP AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHUT OFF.

I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE CAN NOT HAVE RECALL PERFORMED BECAUSE IT HAD AN AFTERMARKET FUEL PUMP. MY DAD GAVE ME THE VEHICLE BEFORE HE PAST SO I'M NOT SURE IF SOME ONE ELSE HAS WORKED ON VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS CAUSING GAS PROBLEMS THAT ARE UNSAFE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER TO BUY A NEW ONE PUT IT IN THEN HAVE THEM DO A RECALL. PLEASE HELP.

MY 2005 QX56 LOSING POWER WHILE I'M DRIVING, FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF, AND MY CHECK ENGINE IS OFF

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2005 INFINITI QX56. THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT READING CORRECTLY. IT STOPS READING CORRECTLY ONCE IT REACHES ABOUT HALF A TANK OF GAS. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT NIGHT AND I RAN OUT OF GAS. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION BECAUSE I HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME AND AT THE TIME I HAD NO IDEA WHY THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF BECAUSE MY METER WAS SHOWING THAT I HAD HALF A TANK OF GAS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC THE NEXT DAY AND HE WAS ABLE TO TELL ME AFTER A FEW DAYS OF ME TAKING IT BY THE SHOP TO GET A READING, THAT THEIR WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE READING WHICH MEANT THAT THE TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE DROPPED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I LATER READ UP OF COMMON ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE AND SAW THAT THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEIR WAS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST SO THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF SINCE THERE ARE SEVERAL VEHICLES WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI QX56. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED HALF A TANK; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM,OTHER). THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

DRIVER SIDE FRONT SUSPENSION SPRING COMPLETELY BROKEN AND COLAPSED LEAVING THE CAR ONLY SUPPORTED BY THE DRIVER ABSORBER SHOCK. THE LEFT FRONT END IS LEANING 2 INCHES LOWER THAN USUAL. I ASSUME THIS A HAZARD AND COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE TO LOOSE CONTROL AND ACCIDENTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI QX56. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER BEING REFUELED; HOWEVER, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED THAT THERE WERE THREE QUARTS OF FUEL INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 158,000. ..UPDATED 03/29/17 *BF UPDATED 05/05/2017*JS

BRAKE SHUDDER - SEVERELY REDUCED BRAKING POWER. BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON DASH. THIS IS RANDOM. HAPPENED TWICE MORE ON WAY TO WORK, APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH,ON I-40 EXIT RAMP AND 30 MPH ON A SIDE ROAD. TURNING OFF VEHICLE AND BACK ON RESETS THIS. BUT IT RANDOMLY HAPPENS AGAIN. I AM FEARFUL IN THIS VEHICLE. I CALLED DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ISSUE. A GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THIS SUBJECT.

CONDENSATION IN HEADLIGHTS THAT CAUSE FAILURE TO HEADLIGHTS

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 INFINITI QX56 I NOTICED I HAVE TO PRESS DOWN HARDER ON MY BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP. AT ONE POINT THE BRAKES GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATES. I KNOW I DON'T NEED BRAKE PADS BECAUSE THEY WERE REPLACED 2 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE ALSO HAD MY BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY REPLACED SO I KNOW IT IS NOT THAT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE I KEEP HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING ON A VERY BUSY STREET GOING ABOUT 45MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING MY CAR LOST POWER. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT IT DID NOT WORK AND THEN I TRIED BRAKING AND THEN I KNEW I WAS IN TROUBLE. THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND AT ALL, SO I PULLED OFF TO A SIDE STREET WHERE THE CAR ACTUALLY ROLLED TO A STOP. I COULD BARLEY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I FIND OUT TODAY AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH THERE WAS A RECALL # 10V074000 ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL BUT IT'S VIN # SPECIFIC. MEANING THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. SO NOW I'M STUCK WITH A BILL FOR 969 BUCKS FOR THIS EXACT RECALL! NISSAN WONT BE GETTING MY BUSINESS ANYMORE, MY LIFE AND SAFETY IS WAY TO PRECIOUS !!!!!! NO RECOURSE WHAT SO EVER! UGH.

50000 MILES ON IT AT MOMENT AND FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS MY INFINITI LOOSES BRAKE POWER. LAST WEEK I ALMOST RAN ON A VEHICLE WITH MY 6 MONTH OLD SON RIDING WITH ME. ONCE THE VEHICLE COMES TO COMPLETE STOP AFTER A WHILE AND ONCE THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. WHEN IT HAPPENS THERES A HUGE GRINDING NOISE AND BRAKE PEDAL SHAKES VERY BADLY AS IF THERES NO BRAKE ON THE CAR. ABOVE ALL THE VEHICLE HAS ALL GOOD BRAKES. THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON TOO WHEN THIS HAPPENS . AS MENTIONED ONCE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED EVERYTHING WOEKS NORMAL. I GOOGLED ONLINE AND SO MANY PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR MODELS HAVE THESE ISSUES. MOST IMPORTANT THE DEALER DOESNT ACKWOLEGES IT AND SAYS THERE NO RECALL . I BELEIVE THEY WAITING ONCE SOMEONR DOES BEFORE THEY WILL TAKE ACTION.I HOPE SOME ACTION CAN BE TAKEN ABOUT HIS KILLING MATTER.

THE LIGHT STAY LIT LIKE THERE IS A PROBLEM WHEN I SPEAK WITH NISSAN AND INFINITY THEY STATES THEIR IS NO RECALL.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. THERE IS A KNOCKING SOUND THAT OCCURS AS WELL WHEN I'M DRIVING. I'M CONCERNED IF I'M INVOLVED IN A COLLISION MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. I CONTACTED INFINITI AND WAS TOLD THEY NEED TO RESET IT AND WILL COST $800.00 AND MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER IT AND WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL LIST. THE IPDM ECM RELAY SWITCH CAUSES MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGE TO GO IN AND OUT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, MY TRUCK JERKS TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS, IT WILL SOMETIMES START UP AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, IT CAUSES THE RPM'S TO READ OVER 7 WHEN I'M ONLY DRIVING 60 MPH. IT SHOULD READ BETWEEN 2 AND 3 RPM'S. I'M CONSTANTLY SWITCHING THE ECM RELAY PLUGS TO START MY TRUCK. THE AIR BAG AND IPDM ECM RELAY WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I PURCHASED IT 4YEARS AGO.

WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN THE BRAKES START GRABBING THE ROTORS. I HAVE TO STOP CUT THE CAR OFF THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE TO RESET THE BRAKE LIGHT IT HAS HAPPEN AT LEAST 10 TIMES. DEALERSHIP KEPT THE CAR FOR 3 WEEKS SILL COULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.......

"BOX" LOCATED IN THE HEADLAMP THAT IS SQUARE AND HARD PLASTIC HAS WATER INSIDE THIS. PART WAS LOOKED UP AND FOUND TO BE >$300 TO REPLACE. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE.

FUEL GAUGE INDICATE 1/4 TANK DURING MY DRIVE DOWN THE FREEWAY DURING SLIGHT RUSH HOUR. CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS IN THE THIRD LANE OF THE FREEWAY. AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED FROM RUBBER NECKING. INFINITI OF ELK GROVE COULDN'T DIAGNOSE IT RIGHT AWAY AND THE CAR DIED 2 MORE TIMES, ONCE MORE ON THE FREEWAY, AND WAS LUCKY TO GLIDE OFF THE FREEWAY WITH NO POWER STEERING. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED 3 TIMES TO INFINITI, THEY FINALLY DIAGNOSED THE FUEL SENSOR AFTER WE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND TOLD THEM WHAT TO CHECK. CHECKED ALL RECALLS AND THIS WAS LISTED AS A PROBLEM BUT INFINITI REFUSE TO COVER THIS DEFECT. AFTER OWNING A QX56, FX35 AND G35, THE RUDENESS OF THE REPAIR MANAGER LEFT A REALLY BAD TASTE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN INFINITY QX56 AND HAD THE BRAKE LIGHT COME ON YESTERDAY FOLLOWED BY THE LIMITED BRAKING, SHUTTERING AND PULSING OF THE BRAKE PEDAL.. ALMOST HIT A CAR. MAYBE BECAUSE OF FAULTY AND DEFECTIVE DELTA STROKE SENSOR. *TR

THIS LETTER IS IN REFERENCE TO A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT FILED WITH INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON DECEMBER 3, 2009, REGARDING MY VEHICLE SHUTTING COMPLETELY DOWN, STALLED OUT, NOT MOVING IN THE DRIVE OR REVERSE POSITION AT A BUSY INTERSECTION ON A RAINY STORMY EVENING. THIS OCCURRENCE COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR WORSE, A FATALITY. AS A RESULT OF POLICE ASSISTANCE AND HAVING MY VEHICLE TOWED DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP, TO DATE THERE ARE NO MECHANICAL ISSUES FOUND BY THE DEALER RELATED TO MY VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN AT THE INTERSECTION. MY COMPLAINT CONTAINS ADDITIONAL SERIOUS VEHICLE ISSUES REGARDING MY HEADLIGHTS, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, AND THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD. BOTH HEADLIGHTS ON MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. THE BULBS WERE REPLACED AND THE HEADLIGHT FUSES WERE FOUND TO BE FUNCTIONING. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL/CLUSTER LIGHT BLINKS CONSTANTLY AS I DRIVE AND THE PANEL/CLUSTER GAUGES ARE COMPLETELY NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. FUSES HAVE BEEN CHECKED UNDER THE VEHICLE?S HOOD AND RESULTS INDICATE SOME OF THE 10 AMP FUSES ARE NOT FUNCTIONING AT ALL. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY RECALL REGARDING MY 2005 INFINITI QX 56, WHICH APPEARS TO JEOPARDIZE MY SAFETY. THERE ARE NO LEGITIMATE ANSWERS OR EXPLANATIONS AS TO WHY MY VEHICLE?S HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING, THE CLUSTER/PANEL HAS MALFUNCTIONED, OR WHY SOME FUSES UNDERNEATH MY VEHICLE?S HOOD ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. AS A RESULT OF MY VEHICLE?S EXPIRED WARRANTY AND MECHANICAL FAILURES, I HAVE CONSUMED A GREAT DEAL OF OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES, INCLUDING A TRAFFIC CITATION REGARDING MY HEADLIGHTS. I AM LIMITED AND INCONVENIENCED TO DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT AS A RESULT OF MY INOPERABLE HEADLIGHTS WHICH CAN CAUSE ME GREAT HARM. I AM REQUESTING THAT MY SITUATION BE GIVEN SERIOUS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND RESOLUTION. UPDATED 01/21/15

RANDOM INSTANCES OF BRAKE LIGHT COMING ON FOLLOWED BY LIMITED BRAKING, SHUTTERING AND PULSING OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. A COMMON AND KNOWN ISSUE AFFECTING QX56, ARMADAS AND TITANS FROM THE MID 2000'S THAT NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 QX56. THIS LOSS OF BRAKE HAPPENS TO ME MANY TIME, BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND IF YOU PUSH THE BRAKE YOU WILL HEAR A LOUD GRINDING NOISE, AND PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. TURN OFF ENGINE AND START IT AGAIN IT WILL BE GOOD AGAIN, ITS INTERMITTENT, YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN WILL IT HAPPEN, SO I ALWAYS LOOK ON MY DASH FOR THE BRAKE LIGHT WHILE DRIVING SO I KNOW THAT ITS DOING IT AGAIN. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER. VERY UNSAFE! THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *TR

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SOFT AND THE FRONT TIRES HAD GRINDING AND CHATTERING NOISES LIKE A ABS BRAKE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. THE CARE WOULD NOT STOP VERY WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS GOING SLOW ON DRY PAVEMENT SO THERE WAS NOT REASON FOR ABS TO ACTIVATE. CONTINUED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM EACH OF THE DOZEN TIMES I APPLIED THE BRAKES UNTIL I PULLED INTO A COSTCO PARKING LOT. ONE OF THEIR MECHANICS DROVE THE CAR AND NOTICED THE PROBLEM, BUT WHEN WE INSPECTED IT, IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TIRE BALANCING THAT WAS JUST PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE BRAKES WORKED NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE MY WIFE HAS DRIVEN THE VEHICLE ABOUT 10 TIMES IN THE LAST 4 YEARS, BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT'S HAPPENED WITH ME WHEN DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS. THE DESCRIPTION SITED IN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FULLY DESCRIBES MY EXPERIENCE. HTTP://WWW.COURTHOUSENEWS.COM/2011/04/27/NISSAN.PDF ALSO, THIS CASES ON THIS SITE ARE ALL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE: HTTP://WWW.TOPCLASSACTIONS.COM/LAWSUIT-SETTLEMENTS/LAWSUIT-NEWS/1154-NISSAN-ARMADA-A-TITAN-TRUCK-INFINITY-QX56-CLASS-ACTION-LAWSUIT/. *TR

WITHOUT ANY WARNING, THE CAR SHUT OFF RENDERING THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES USELESS, MAKING THE CAR VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP AND CONTROL. THE FUEL INDICATOR WAS AROUND A QUARTER OF A TANK. COME TO FIND OUT THE CAR RAN OUT OF FUEL WITHOUT ANY WARNING. CONTACTED THE INFINITI DEALER (DREYER & REINBOLD) AND THE NATIONAL NISSAN/INFINITI NUMBER (CASE#1[XXX]). BOTH SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THEY COULDN'T HELP ME. IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO ENCOUNTER AND I'M JUST WARNING DRIVERS OF THIS CAR AND INFINITI'S LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

A 2005 INFINITY QX56 WAS BEING DRIVEN AT 50 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COOLER HOSE RUPTURED RELEASING THE ATF FLUID. THE TRANSMISSION WAS LOSING ATF . LOST THE ABILITY TO PROPEL THE CAR. AT THAT TIME I HAD MY WIFE AND 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN INTO A NEARBY SHOPPING PLAZA PARKING LOT AND WAS UNABLE TO MOVE AFTER THAT POINT. THE RUPTURE COULD HAVE LEAD TO A CRASH SITUATION. THE INCIDENT CAUSED A SHORT TERM FRICTION MATERIAL FAILURE WEEK LATER. THE HOSE WAS REPLACED AND TRANSMISSION CLEANED AND FLUSHED. THE TRANSMISSION WORKED UNTIL JUNE 3 , 2014. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT TO 4TH GEAR AT 55 MPH ON A INTERSTATE, HAD TO PULL OVER AND TOW THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC SHOP, WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED OR TOTALLY REBUILD..... BOTH INCIDENTS COULD EASILY HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. *TR
