NHTSA Complaint #11103396 — 2012 INFINITI QX56

I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN POSTED BY SEVERAL OTHERS ON THIS SITE WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THE BATTERY (JN8AZ2NE3C9****, JN8AZ2NF1C9****, AND JN8AZ2NC9C9****). I TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED OUT YESTERDAY AND JUST RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE TECHNICIAN. HE STATED THAT BOTH CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND IT WILL COST $5,200. IF THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE, WHY IS INFINITI NOT RECALLING THIS AS AN ISSUE? INSTEAD IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE MAKING CONSUMERS PAY FOR MECHANICAL PROBLEMS THAT THEY ARE CLEARLY AWARE ARE MANUFACTURING PROBLEMS. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO CALL MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO TOW MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE BATTERY WAS BEING COMPLETELY DRAINED. IT WAS TOWED TO INFINITI AFTER A FEW INCIDENTS BUT OF COURSE THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHY I HAD TO KEEP BUYING BATTERIES FOR THE VEHICLE. IF INFINITI FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THESE ISSUES, I WILL NO LONGER PURCHASE THEIR VEHICLES. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS AND IRRESPONSIBLE.
