A whine or hiss when I start the vehicle and it goes away after about 10-15 minutes. It was determined to be a timing chain issue by my mechanic. There appears to be a safety recall notice for the 2012 Qx56, but not for my specific VIN. I don't understand how the NHTSA allows a manufacturer to only include a portion of the 2012 model and not others. This is a safety recall! does someone at the NHTSA reconcile the 2012 Qx56 vehicles sold versus the vins eligible to be covered under this safety recall notice? obviously, others are having the same problem! I suggest the NHTSA take safety recall notices more serious and hold manufacturers accountable!!!.

My 2012 Infiniti seems to be having the same problem other Infiniti Qx56 owners are having. Starts with a loud hissing/whistling sound which seems to go away after 10-20 minutes of driving and the car feels just fine. Today all my dashboard lights came on and my husband took the vehicle into the Infiniti dealer, just to have the mechanic return a few minutes later to inform us it is a timing chain issue. I am huge on researching and after a few hours of research and realizing that some of these models have had recalls issued according to VIN# for this same exact issue, I am in awe on why this recall is only being applied to specific VIN #'s and not every single 2012 Qx56 model. Every complaint listed online from owners of these vehicles list the same exact issue. How are we being held accountable for a more than obvious manufacturing problem.

Fuel leveling sensor is faulty in a large variety of Infiniti cars, but there is not recall for my VIN. The car's fuel gauge goes up and down all the time and tells me I'm on empty when I'm not and never registers full even when it was just filled up. It can jump from reading 330 miles left to empty down to 299 and back up to 330 in just a few seconds. The diagnostic confirmed a problem, but they want over $1,000 to fix a known problem in many of their makes and models. This doesn't even touch on the timing chain issue that is faulty as well. Luckily, there is a recall for that one. How is the consumer protected against this type of faulty parts? is there anything we can do? we have been told we need to replace the fuel pump.

Problems with the timing belt chain on newer model Infiniti Qx56. Problem of car making whistling noise appeared early after purchase and intermittently thereafter but became prominent in July 2011. Appears to be a recurring problem with this vehicle model. Dealer had to replace the entire engine on the vehicle to address the issue. However, we believe the underlying defect in the timing belt chain will continue to occur and that there is the potential the engine could fail and cause a major accident(s) and/or fatalit(ies).
