1 Body problem of the 2012 Infiniti QX56

Failure Date: 02/14/2020

My wife drove to my daughters school school for a basketball practice. She locked the doors using the keyfob like always. When she got back to the car she unlock the doors using the keyfob, but this time the drivers door did not open. She tried using the door entry button on the handle which did not work. She then got in thru the passenger door and tried to pull the handle to open the door and that did not work. From the inside of the car she had to climb over the center console to get into the driver seat. I checked the operation myself when she got home and I could not find a way to open the door. After doing some research on the internet I found that this was a problem with the design of the plastic actuator and its component. With the number of people having this problem, I am surprised there isn't a recall similar to the takata airbags since this would no pass an inspection and would be a hazard in the case of an accident.

Tl-the contact owns a 2008 Infiniti q56. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph, the console behind the sunroof fell and was only supported by the wires.

3 Body problem of the 2010 Infiniti QX56

Failure Date: 07/23/2016

I was driving straight down water st, upper marlboro, MD on my way to work and the rear overhead console (console assy-roof) just fell on my shoulder and back seats. I've attached images showing the unit breaking apart from the screws and after research I see that this has been an ongoing issue with Infiniti and Nissan vehicles alike.

4 Body problem of the 2010 Infiniti QX56

Failure Date: 07/13/2016

The rear overhead console fell while driving. Apparently it was due to the heat on the roof that melted the 6 clips inside that holds it to the ceiling, I'm confident this has to be a manufacturer defect and needs be corrected before someone dies. If my two small children were in the vehicle it could have easily killed one if not both. Flimsy plastic brackets that can easily melt, should not be used in a vehicle like this. Currently, the only thing holding it up is the main power cable. This should be a recall since there are thousands of infinity and Nissan armada's with the same exact issue. And to think they want $90k for the new qx with cheap crap under the headliner. Really?!?! when I contacted infinity USA, they acted surprised and said they have never heard of such a thing, at least that is what consumer affairs read off their script to me.

5 Body problem of the 2011 Infiniti QX56

Failure Date: 05/05/2015

I purchased this vehicle from a reputable infinity dealership on January 31,2013 with 41,669 miles,and I also purchased the extended elite protection program warranty for 5 years for $4,978. 00. On may 5th, 2015, I brought this vehicle in for a state inspection sticker, which was rejected because my rear tires were worn out badly with only 15,725 miles on them. These were top-of -the-line michelin ltx with a warranty of 70,000 miles. I brought this SUV into the infinity dealership where it was purchased and they stated that the rear cambers were corroded and rear tows were frozen, and I had to replace the complete rear suspension. None of this was covered on my elite protection warranty. The amount of corrosion underneath this vehicle is astounding, it looks worse than a 20 year-old vehicle. The price of this work was $2,000. 00, additionally my new rear tires were $592. 80. Not what I expected from a high-end luxury SUV, I previously owned 2 Nissan pathfinders with no issues. My vehicle was manufactured in may, 2010, and I realize that there were 2 similar recalls # 10e019000,(safety recall began on July 12, 2010) and a second recall # 10v208000,(safety recall began on may 20, 2010) which states that Nissan was recalling 2004-2010 qx 56 vehicles due to faulty front and/or rear lower control arms in the vehicle's suspension systems. (vehicles sold between November 25, 2009 and may 14, 2010. ) my vehicle was manufactured in may, 2010. I also saw on this website a complaint filed on 11/10/2014, NHTSA id number 10653767; concerning the suspension of their 2010 qx 56 vehicle. It is exactly the issue I had with my qx 56, and I believe that my vehicle should be included in this recall. I had contacted infinity corporation concerning this issue on July 1, 2015, but they did not think these were excruating issues and declined my complaint. ( my case # 19302823 with infinity corporation. ).
