Fuel gauge reads incorrect when it does come on. Dashboard lights stay off until the tank is on E. Unsafe to drive bc you cannot see your speed. When the dashboard randomly flicks on it will show that it is changing the 2WD to 4WD to 2WD WITHOUT anyone actually moving the switch. I know the dashboard leds are not bad, they come on randomly and they are all present.

There was previous recall on this vehicle, 10V-074 (Infiniti #R1011) for a fuel sender problem, causing the fuel gauge to be inaccurate. Infiniti says it was fixed in 2010. Unfortunately, I am having the exact same problem now, and have run out of gas twice because of it. Infiniti said they can't help because it was already fixed. Safety issue because running out of fuel while driving is dangerous. Both times has been on an interstate. It was a previously reported recall and "fixed" but has failed again. Infiniti says they won't fix it again.

I was involved in an auto rollover accident on January2, 2023 when a driver "t-boned" me in my 2008 Infiniti Qx56 striking the middle of the passenger side of my Qx56 after running a stop sign and failing to yield to my right of way causing my Qx56 to roll over 3 times. My driver's steering wheel airbag did NOT deploy. To my knowledge all the other airbags did deploy. I suffered neck, right shoulder, and lower back injuries from the rollover but remained in the driver's seat as the seatbelt system worked well. My Qx56 was a total loss.

I hear I ping sound like a spring, the break light comes on and I am unable to stop the vehicle as normal. Appears the vehicle IS attempting to slow down but does not come to stop as it normally should. Once I turn the vehicle off then back on it's just fine until it randomly occurs again when applying the breaks and/or when the vehicle IS idle and the break light comes on. This issue only resolved itself when the vehicle IS turned off then back on. It IS extremely alarming and could cause an accident.

The brakes on my vehicle has a strange reaction when I brake at times and IS hesitant to stop. It doesn't happen often but it's scary. Usually after I stop the vehicle, cut it off & crank it again the problem goes away only to do it again on a later date. After going online I find that many others have experienced the same problem with infiniti QX56 & nissan armada's. I'm sure whether or not it's a ABS sensor malfunction or what but thankfully it haven't happened while being in heavy traffic because I fear I'll rear end another motorist.

Headlamp assembly IS cracked and condensation builds up, shorting out the igniter. apparently my mechanic says that nissan and infiniti know of the problem 8 models for 6 years (or 6 models for 8 years) and have not issued a recall. but the price for the headlamp assemblies and ignitors are outrageous. the problem IS so prevalent, there IS a youtube video showing how to dry out the headlamp assembly and caulk it to reuse! this many problems and no recall seems very dangerous. it cost me $1000 to replace an ignitor. It would have cost $4,000 to replace two headlamp assemblies. Who has $4,000 to replace a couple of headlamps????? and how IS this safe. it IS illegal to drive with one headlight. the manufacturer should make sure this equipment IS working properly!!!!!

Brake light comes on while driving, when pressure IS applied to brakes under 40mph there IS a grinding noise and the brakes skip. You can turn the ignition off and back on and sometimes the brake light goes off and everything IS fine and sometimes it IS not. there seems to be no rhyme or reason. Some days it never comes on and some days it never goes off. After researching online it appears that it IS an issue with the computer module and a software update IS needed. please fix this. The first time it happened it was very scary! I was driving with my 3 kids and thought that my brakes had went out completely. It was months before it happened again but now it seems to be an every day occurence.

My wife was driving her 2008 QX56 and when she tried to brake her foot went to the floor and she heard a grinding noise, she pumped and pumped the brakes but did not notice any measurable slowing down of the vehicle. fortunately there was no one in front of her and she was evenatually able to safely pull into a parking lot and stop the vehicle. upon my research this appears to be a know defect. the dealership where I took the car, diagnosed it as a delta stroke sensor defect. upon researching this there appears to have been a class action suit against nissan/infinitie that the plaintiffs won. if this IS a know defect why hasn't there been a recall? my wife could have been seriously injured or killed or she could have injured or killed someone else due to the catastophic loss of brakes. this IS not a wear and tear issue and their IS no warning that it will happen. You just lose the brakes and the ability to stop. There needs to be a recall before someone dies (if they have not already).

When attempting to stop two times in the past few months the brakes suddenly fail allowing us no ability to stop the car almost causing a serious wreck. The brake pedal goes all the way to the floor with the brake light (not ABS) illuminated on the dash. Even though nissan consumer affairs IS aware of this problem they are not being accountable or held responsible for this serious car defect. According to the class action law suit (where there are many others reporting the same problem) the problem IS with the active brake booster and vdc control unit. They recommend for me to pay 2-3000 dollars to have the car fixed for a manufacturing defect. Given the severity of this defect in the core brake system across both nissan and infiniti cars and the fact this was taken to court there should be a recall for a failing brake system.

- 10192598SERVICE INFORMATION When servicing run flat tires or low profile tires: - Special equipment and procedures are required to avoid damage. - Specifically, Tire Pressure Monitor transmitters (TPMS sensors) can be damaged when improperly dismounting and mounting tires. - TPMS sensors becoming damaged during mounting or dismounting tires are not covered under warranty. - To avoid such damage, ensure that the tire changer being used and the operator of the tire changer are capable of servicing run flat and low profile tires. - Operator?s manuals for such tire changers must be followed. See this bulletin for further detail.
- 10192589SERVICE INFORMATION After ECM reprogramming, the Calibration Verification Number (CVN) needs to be automatically calculated prior to State emissions testing (also known as Inspection Maintainence, I/M, or SMOG testing depending upon location). Allowing the vehicle to idle for 22 minutes will allow for faster CVN calculation. It is recommended that customers utilize this method if the vehicle needs to be tested for emissions soon after ECM reprogramming. See this bulletin for further detail.
