Any suggestions or anyone else had this problem?
I don't know if that is your problem, but it's something to look at.

keeping up with the demand of the vehicle driving on certain rod conditions, and even when you drive a little sporty, it will not stay on the rod.I was looking in the owners manual if there were some kind of dial to choose the ride, like many other vehicles have, ( soft,medium, hard. ) but I couldn't find anything. I wonder if anybody has initiated some kind of formal complain to address this problem before some horrible accident happens. Please keep me posted on this problem and also if
infiniti peoples will address it.
We have loved the brand, and the vehicles until now. Some of the other vehicles have had some minor electrical issues, but now we have had serious issues with no apparent recourse.
In February my wife's QX56 started having an issue where the gears seemed to disengage (which simulated stalling but the engine still ran) It was towed in, and was said to be repaired. Over the past few months, we had noticed a slight "grinding" noise which got so severe suddenly as to warrant it again being towed in. It was in the service department for 4 weeks awaiting parts from Japan, and when they finally arrived, we were then told it was fixed. It apparently was something with a "fuel jet", and we were told that Infiniti had recently issued a bulletin to its dealers about it. The service manager told us that he personally drove it several miles and that we were good to go.
We went to pick up the vehicle the next day, and didn't even drive off the lot before it started to shake and the gears disengaged. We took it back and they ran the codes which revealed a "multi-cylinder mis-fire"They again "fixed" it and we are now told that it was a faulty solenoid, but I am hesitant to trust them, despite being told that it has been test driven again.
I called the national customer service line (an oxymoron) and initiated a request for a repurchase.
We were informed today that the request has been denied, with no explanation or further recourse. I am hesitant to put my family in a vehicle which could effectively "stall" at any time, particularly, because they have apparently fixed it several times.
Suffice it to say, I am extremely frustrated and am now completely done with Infiniti. It is a shame because this QX 56 has less than a year left on the lease and as mentioned, I have up until now been very happy with the vehicles we have had.
Buyer beware !!!
Dealership refuses to acknowledge the issue.
Infiniti Consumer Affairs directs you back to dealership
Dealership says the 'driving experience' is Normal!?
I don't think any SUV where the backend skips sideways on the road is normal. Wish I had my Lexus GX470 back. Would never consider buying an Infiniti again. I'm not stuck with a terrible SUV with 20k miles on it. I think I'll trade it in.. assuming the dealer buying it keeps it on a perfect road.
Since you had a decent ride early on, the issue must be some sort of defective PART. My guess is it has to do with the automatic suspension leveling. There are many components that must work together for this system to function as designed and possibly one of these is out of order on your vehicle. The descriptions from you and others lead me to theorize that the air-ride is either over or under-inflated. Ask your dealer to focus on this system with respect to your problem and let us know.
I do however have 3 of 4 TPM sensors out. Read that this can be somewhat costly to fix. I will need new tires soon, (thinking Costco), any suggestions?
I could also use an updated navigation (disc?); many new roads in my area are not avail on the 08 version. Thanks
How did you resolve this issue. I myself am having the same issue. Email me or post if possible. Thanks Hrach05@yahoo.com
Electronic Gremlins - Electrical Problems That Are Driving You Crazy
Or you can try Edmunds Answers.
And I took a look on NHTSA and found several service bulletins concerning electrical issues for your vehicle. That may be helpful in determining the problem.
I have a 2011 QX - I drive a lot - but all regular road driving. at 67,000 (2 years) the dealer tried to send me home after all diagnistics checked out fine and I insisted they keep the car one more day - outside in the cold - the next day they told me I needed a new Engine - had I taken the car back and driven a few weeks it would have been out of warranty (apparently 70,000 miles) . That said, the dealer said they could only give me customer service line to request warranty extension on other parts (pretty sure I got a lemon here) - which they denied my request. Now, at 90,000 miles , my catalytic converter is apparently shot - this time "just out of warranty" - r u kidding me!! On top of that I'm having crazy steering problems - they told me at my last oil change - after I had just paid to have allignment done a month before - that I needed a "tie rod" replaced" which would "require allignment" (do you think they could have noticed this a month ago?. Then he told me I could wait until winter was over - but now my steering feels "loose" and crazy and I can't make sharp turns without crazy shaking. I wanted to drive this thing to 250,000 - thought I was buying a quality car that could do that.
