Headlights Problems of Infiniti QX56

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.

Constant moisture build up causing headlight burnout a dangerous situation didn't know until police pulled me over. Five times this incident has happened. Very expensive fix and extremely expensive replacement. Unfair to consumer auto shops says the company knows about it. A safety recall is needed.

Headlamp assembly is cracked and condensation builds up, shorting out the igniter. Apparently my mechanic says that Nissan and Infiniti know of the problem 8 models for 6 years (or 6 models for 8 years) and have not issued a recall. But the price for the headlamp assemblies and ignitors are outrageous. The problem is so prevalent, there is a youtube video showing how to dry out the headlamp assembly and caulk it to reuse! this many problems and no recall seems very dangerous. It cost me $1000 to replace an ignitor. It would have cost $4,000 to replace two headlamp assemblies. Who has $4,000 to replace a couple of headlamps????? and how is this safe. It is illegal to drive with one headlight. The manufacturer should make sure this equipment is working properly!!!!!.

I currently own a 2006 Infiniti Qx56 that I am currently experiencing safety issues with that I will articulate in the message below. The 2006 Infiniti Qx56 contains serious design and/or manufacturing defects with their headlights that causes them to be highly prone to condensation or moisture. As a result of these defective parts, including defects in the headlamp housing, water and moisture are able to enter the headlight assembly and damage the electrical lighting components. This can lead to serious safety hazards such as loss of illumination from one or both headlamps at unpredictable times, exposing drivers and those who they share the road with a significant and unreasonable danger, including traffic accidents that can result in injury or death. Vision is impaired due to the moisture substantially clouding the illumination which is a safety issue. Safety issues are even more substantial when there is complete lighting failure due to the electrical components shorting out as a result of the water and moisture buildup. ** attached for more details***.

Condensation in headlights that cause failure to headlights.

I purchased this vehicle December of 2014 and within a month I noticed condensation in both headlights. When I was driving my vehicle home one night with my 4 children the lights flickered and went out. I had to pull over and I flicked the lights on and off hoping they would turn on and they came back on and worked. Now either headlights work and to replace the assembly is $1600 each so right now I do not drive my vehicle at night. I talked to infinti and they stated there was a design flaw in the headlights and since then they have been redesigned. I have also done research online and there have been several complaints on the headlights of my vehicle. Now the other problem is when I'm driving on a bump or pothole my vehicle seems to veer off to the right and steering wheel seems to loosen up and if you are going fast you could lose control of the vehicle. Luckily I don't drive fast but notice with any pothole it veers right and I have also researched this problem and it is also a common complaint.

The contact owns a 2008 Infiniti Qx56. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 mph, the passenger side headlight failed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the passenger side headlight was replaced. In addition, the driver side headlight failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 34,000.

I bought my vehicle used, a few weeks after purchase I noticed condensation inside the headlight assembly on the passenger side. I've received no help in solving this problem from the dealer or Infiniti the company themselves now both driver and passenger have condensation in them in. The situation is so bad that it blows the lamps so that night driving is hazardous let alone dangerous . I cannot have my children in the car due to this. I've been told by dealers this is a defect with the vehicle and Infiniti will not listen or help with this problem, I found many others with this same situation I'm asking for your help with this not just for my family but the countless others who are in danger of a very serious problem with this vehicle low visibility with the assembly and lamps blowing out from the condensation I cannot drive my vehicle at night now. Please help me.

The contact owns a 2007 Infiniti Qx56. The contact stated that condensation began to build in the headlights. The headlights later failed and the contact discovered that there was a crack in the seal of the headlight assembly. The dealer informed the contact that they kept the light assembly in stock because the failure was common. The failure mileage was unknown, but the current mileage was 56,000.

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.
