1 Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe problem of the 2006 Infiniti QX56

Failure Date: 11/22/2018

My 2006 Infiniti Qx56 driver side manifold has cracked 4 times in 6 months. Each time it has cracked I was just driving normal road conditions. I have fixed it 4 times and am curious if this has anything to do with a prior recall on the arm suspension.

2 Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe problem of the 2004 Infiniti QX56

Failure Date: 06/13/2016

Emergency brake: e-brake appears to engage on its own and the brake light indicator comes on. There's also a grinding sound when brake is pressed. Grinding sounds only occurs when this issue comes up. Exhaust manifolds: was notified by the dealer upon a service inspection that there was a small crack in the exhaust manifolds. Is this a normal thing? and should this be a recall item as it could throw off any smog check testing. In addition how about the exhaust in the cabin issue? maybe they used too thin of a metal for the manifolds.

5 Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe problem of the 2004 Infiniti QX56

The exhaust manifolds are defective which creates noise and allows fumes to escape. Infiniti admits they are defective but they want $2,800 to $4,000 to replace them. This should be considered a safety hazard and Infiniti should replace them free of charge.
