Consumer Description

WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BATTERY SINCE WE BOUGHT THE QX56. SUV'S COMPLETELY DIES AFTER A GLOVE BOX LIGHT, RADIO HAS BEEN PLAYED FOR 20 TO 30 MINUTES, CAR CANNOT BE JUMPED BY TYPICAL CABLES, EVERY TIME WE EITHER HAD TO HAVE A HEAVY DUTY JUMP DONE BY TOW COMPANY OR BATTERY WAS REPLACED BY INFINITI. TIMING CHAIN AND BOTH CATALYTIC CONVERTERS NEED TO BE REPLACED, WITH ENGINE ISSUES. INFINITI HAD SUV FOR ALMOST A MONTH TO FIX ENGINE AND TIMING CHAIN. ENGINE LIGHT STILL COMING ON THEN WE WHERE TOLD THE CONVERTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. $5K TO FIX. IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH QX56 FOR THIS YEAR AND OTHERS. AFTER EACH TIME ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON INFINITI SERVICE DEPT TOLD US TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR AND AFTER 2 WEEKS IF IT DIDN'T RESET THEN CALL BACK AGAIN. WE DID THIS RELUCTANTLY, BECAUSE I AM MY WIFE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT THAT WHEN YOU HAVE AN ENGINE LIGHT COME ON, STOP CALL, AND GET THE VEHICLE IN TO BE INSPECTED.
