2012 Infiniti QX56

I HAVE ISSUES WITH AIR COMPRESSOR AND TIMING CHAIN THAT JUST RANDOMLY WENT OUT, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL OR CAMPAIGN FOR IT WITH INFINITI I CALLED INFINITI AND SENT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY STATED IT WAS NOT FOR MY ACTUAL VIN NUMBER BUT FOR SAME CAR WITH DIFFERENT VIN NUMBER, I ASKED THE QUESTION SINCE I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THAT HAS A RECALL ON ANOTHER VIN SAME VEHICLE SHOULDN'T YOUR COMPANY FIX ALL OF THAT YEAR VEHICLES MAKE AND MODEL. I WAS TOLD NO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 INFINITI QX56. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 35 MPH AND AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO INFINITI OF BIRMINGHAM (1804 MONTGOMERY HWY, HOOVER, AL 35244, (205) 403-5221) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 INFINITI QX56. WHEN THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT EXCEED 25 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: P6305, BUT THE RECALL REPAIR DID NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000.

I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN POSTED BY SEVERAL OTHERS ON THIS SITE WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THE BATTERY (JN8AZ2NE3C9****, JN8AZ2NF1C9****, AND JN8AZ2NC9C9****). I TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED OUT YESTERDAY AND JUST RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE TECHNICIAN. HE STATED THAT BOTH CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND IT WILL COST $5,200. IF THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE, WHY IS INFINITI NOT RECALLING THIS AS AN ISSUE? INSTEAD IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE MAKING CONSUMERS PAY FOR MECHANICAL PROBLEMS THAT THEY ARE CLEARLY AWARE ARE MANUFACTURING PROBLEMS. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO CALL MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO TOW MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE BATTERY WAS BEING COMPLETELY DRAINED. IT WAS TOWED TO INFINITI AFTER A FEW INCIDENTS BUT OF COURSE THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHY I HAD TO KEEP BUYING BATTERIES FOR THE VEHICLE. IF INFINITI FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THESE ISSUES, I WILL NO LONGER PURCHASE THEIR VEHICLES. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS AND IRRESPONSIBLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 INFINITI QX56. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS EXITING THE VEHICLE, THE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN PROPERLY. IN ADDITION, THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS LESS THAN 50,000.

EXPERIENCING ALMOST IDENTICAL ISSUES TO ANOTHER COMPLAINT I SAW THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY FILED (#10924936). TOLD WE NEED TO REPLACE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AT $2,000 EACH. DEALERSHIP SAID IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLES. IF IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE, PERHAPS SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. WE'VE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES. HAD TO CALL AAA SEVERAL TIMES TO JUMP THE VEHICLE.

WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BATTERY SINCE WE BOUGHT THE QX56. SUV'S COMPLETELY DIES AFTER A GLOVE BOX LIGHT, RADIO HAS BEEN PLAYED FOR 20 TO 30 MINUTES, CAR CANNOT BE JUMPED BY TYPICAL CABLES, EVERY TIME WE EITHER HAD TO HAVE A HEAVY DUTY JUMP DONE BY TOW COMPANY OR BATTERY WAS REPLACED BY INFINITI. TIMING CHAIN AND BOTH CATALYTIC CONVERTERS NEED TO BE REPLACED, WITH ENGINE ISSUES. INFINITI HAD SUV FOR ALMOST A MONTH TO FIX ENGINE AND TIMING CHAIN. ENGINE LIGHT STILL COMING ON THEN WE WHERE TOLD THE CONVERTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. $5K TO FIX. IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH QX56 FOR THIS YEAR AND OTHERS. AFTER EACH TIME ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON INFINITI SERVICE DEPT TOLD US TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR AND AFTER 2 WEEKS IF IT DIDN'T RESET THEN CALL BACK AGAIN. WE DID THIS RELUCTANTLY, BECAUSE I AM MY WIFE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT THAT WHEN YOU HAVE AN ENGINE LIGHT COME ON, STOP CALL, AND GET THE VEHICLE IN TO BE INSPECTED.
