Date of Bulletin: JUN 06, 2005. What a difference! All the little ambient ticks and clicks coming from the outer weather proofing have disappeared. I used it on my other two cars as well. A little goes a long way. ($32 for a 1/2 oz.)
What's funny is the vehicle doesn't stop when it is supposed to and stops when it is not supposed to.
I would not drive one of these death traps to the closest Walmart.
You move on DUDE, just don't tailgate me in that P.O.S.
P.S. I also love getting "RIPPED" for a $60,000 vehicle that apparently nobody bothered to check the BRAKES.
Anyone else been tempted by this offer and care to share the normal stealer deals?
I did try out an MB GL450, was a very nice SUV. But Benz wants about $19.5K more for the same equipped unit . The GL450 is considered a full size but a little smaller than the Q and not much power out of the hole . I did notice that it is unibody and could hear the highway howl much more than in the Q (body on frame) :confuse: .
Well I will wait until next MY at the earliest.
By the way many 2006 Q's still had the old smaller front rotor and calipers. The newest ones built after about February had the larger rotors and calipers :P . So make sure and look at all 06 MY and compare the front brakes for the larger caliper and rotor (I think the new larger caliper is also aluminum compared to the smaller iron.

When they finally announced the new brake kits, I remember receiving a letter stating that not only would the warranty on the brake system be extended, but that the complimentary service, i.e. oil changes, tire rotation, would be extended for 12 months and 12K miles as well.
Am I having a senior moment, or do I in fact remember this correctly?
I have a 2005 model with DEALER installed XM and I have the same poor reception (cutting out) problem that several other people have posted about. In my Audi and several GM vehicles, the XM radio is incredible. It even works in my garage. In the QX if a mosquito flys over the antenna, it cuts out. It is completely unusable. The dealer's response is that it is fine (same as other posts on this forum). I was wondering if they fixed the (non) problem in 2006 or maybe the FACTORY installed XM works better.
They do an excellent job of keeping everything on the level however. It took me a couple of trys to get the correct tension on the equalizer hitch but once right everything works great. The only thing I do notice is an increase in tranny temps but not more the two notches on the panel gage.
I would expect on this type of vehicle the weak link over time will be the transfer case as it is not cooled. Mileage with a full trailer with air on is 9.5 mpg (tow mode)
The GVWR number can usually be found on an embossed label attached to the inside edge of the driver’s side door.
There's more action over in the Armada group, if you're willing to consider that one a twinned vehicle.
Please explain.
Thanks!
Thanks
The '08 does have it though.
Anyone have any idea if they are working on this, or will anytime soon? :shades:
At this point I'm just picking on the QX56, and fairly so, its terrible. But I'm curious to see how (or if) someone would defend it.
