2 Car Stall problem of the 2013 Infiniti QX56

Failure Date: 09/21/2019

Driving down highway 421 in wilkesboro, nc on a 45 mph section of the highway, merged over into the turning lane to turn left across two lanes of traffic. Waited for a break in traffic, upon a break in traffic tried to accelerate to cross traffic, as vehicle started to accelerate it stalled in middle of road. Wife and children in car started screaming. Traffic nice enough not to run into us. Had car towed to local automotive repair shop. Found that this is a common problem for the 5. 6 litter Nissan/ Infiniti engine. One of the timing gears for the left bank stopped rotating some how. This side of the engine timing system also powers the fuel pump so that you cannot even limp across the road on half the engine. It just stops right where you are. You have no steering no breaking and no propulsion. This is a dangerous situation and the manufacture should be held responsible for the design and lack of quality of the engine.

5 Car Stall problem of the 2012 Infiniti QX56

Failure Date: 04/11/2016

Infiniti Qx56 has a ubiquitous issue with timing chain failures going out between 60k-80k miles. This problem is not only a very expensive repair ($3k to $5k), but is also a severe safety issue if timing chain were to fail on the roadway. Infiniti has mentioned a possible recall, but seems to stalling due to the massive expense that they would have to bare. I detected a problem at approximately 70k miles, when starting on cold mornings. My vehicle sounded like a screaming eagle for the first 5 minutes of operation. I eventually had a failure just over 80k miles (fortunately, while in the driveway). Per the service manager at my local Infiniti dealer, they have known about the part defect which all too common on 2010-2012 Qx56 models. Infiniti resolved the issue and devised a new timing chain for the 2013 model. I have attached a copy of my repair bill, along with the same diagnosis of many vehicles from the repairpal website. I would appreciate any thing you could do on my behalf and the thousands of other customers who have suffered the same fate.

6 Car Stall problem of the 2011 Infiniti QX56

Failure Date: 12/09/2015

Through my research and speaking with Infiniti mechanics there has been a known issue with timing chains and associate parts that are a hazard and a major expense to 2011-2012 infinity Qx56 owners. This issue will leave you stranded somewhere!! it happens to my wife and I three times!!! I had to get it towed all three times!! the hazard is while driving on highway the engine just loses all power leaving the hazard of someone running in back of you. If you driving up an incline and this problem comes about your vehicle will stall an you can possibly start rolling backwards. So from my research this problem has been happening to people either right before there warranty ends at 70,000 miles or right after (like me) at 74,000 miles. I called Infiniti and they refused to help me in any way. The guys at my dealership said its a hit or miss with them helping owners of the Qx56 that's over the warranty. I was already $1500 in the whole on parts they thought were the problem and now they want to charge me an estimated $3,000-4,5000 to do the rest of the work. Its a fact that Infiniti knows they have this issue and refuses to recall or help the owners. I will never purchase a Infiniti again!!! and will spread the word around about them!.
