Consumer Description

I starting hearing a grinding noise coming from engine couple of weeks ago. Took it to the Infinity dealership for a diagnostic test. The mechanic stated “ timing chains were found to be stretched and metal was worn.” This is the same issue which prompted the recall of 2011-2013 QX56 models. However, I did not own my vehicle during the recall period.
