8 Steering problem of the 2007 Infiniti QX56

Failure Date: 04/07/2013

While traveling at normal highway speeds any road imperfections, pot holes, bridges, or bumps will cause the vehicle to veer to the right and feel as though you are loosing control. Two hands must be used while encountering anything other than a perfect road. It is extremely scary and unsafe when traveling at speeds greater that 50 mph. It feels as though the rear of the vehicle is getting ready to pass the front. This is our family vehicle and I fear for my families safety while driving. The suspension has been checked and has been found to be in working order although it is obvious something is extremely wrong.

9 Steering problem of the 2011 Infiniti QX56

Failure Date: 06/15/2012

When driving 40-70 mph and hitting any road irregularities (offsets in pavement at bridges, old to new pavement, man hole covers, road patches) the vehicle back end skips sideways with a loss of control. The vehicle will start to head into the next lane and needs to be steered in the opposite direction to correct it. We do not feel safe driving it. Others in the car have said they have never experienced anything like it. Dealership is telling us this is normal. Vehicle is under warranty and we can't get resolution to this.

10 Steering problem of the 2010 Infiniti QX56

Failure Date: 08/14/2010

Complaint: I am writing to notify NHTSA of the extremely lack of stability control with my vehicle. The lack of stability control occurs when driving over small uneven surfaces and causes the steering to be very difficult to control. Dealer diagnosis: I visited an Infiniti dealer on three separate occasions and presented my concerns. The service departments were not able to identify or rectify my concerns. On December 8, 2011 - sheehy's Infiniti of annapolis, MD - my vehicle odometer reading was at 23,539. On may 2, 2013 - jba's Infiniti of ellicott city, MD - my vehicle odometer reading was at 45,034. On January 20, 2014 - sheehy's Infiniti of annapolis, MD - my vehicle odometer reading was at 55,430. Customer comments: several owners and previous owners of the 2008-2010 Qx56 (via research) experienced very similar suspension and steering flaws. If this is a flaw in the design of the vehicle, I do not feel that it is the consumers financial responsibility to try to correct it, which is why I contacted (via email) Infiniti's consumer affairs office on January 24, 2010. After speaking to the service departments and reviewing my vehicle history, [xxx] (from Infiniti consumer affairs) contacted me on January 31, 2014. [xxx] response was exactly like the service departments: she was not able to identify a problem. My wife normally drives this vehicle, but it became obvious to us that something was wrong around July or August 2010. There is a serious flaw in the mechanical equipment and/or design of my 2010 Infiniti Qx56 4x4 SUV that scares the heck out of my wife and kids when driving it. This vehicle is not safe to be on the road, but we have to drive it because it is our only family mode of transportation. I would like Infiniti to correct my vehicle deficiencies or replace my vehicle with one that is safe to drive. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
