2008 Infiniti QX56

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 INFINITI QX56. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WHEN ENCOUNTERED A DITCH IN THE ROAD, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE SWAYED AND THE STEERING WHEEL VIGOROUSLY SHOOK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THERE WAS NO DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIR COMPLETED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE AND STATED THEY WOULD SEND AN INVESTIGATOR TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100.

THERE WASN'T ANY ACCIDENTS, BUT IF THIS PROBLEM DOESN'T GET RESOLVED THERE WILL BE. THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST UNSAFE VEHICLE I'VE EVER COME ACROSS! IF YOU HIT ANY IRREGULAR ROAD SURFACE OR POTHOLE YOUR CAR SHIFTS. IF YOU ARE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS IT WILL ACTUALLY THROW YOUR CAR INTO THE LANE TO THE RIGHT. I'VE READ SEVERAL FORUMS WITH THE SAME TYPE OF COMPLAINTS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS STILL A PROBLEM I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY KIDS IN THIS AND I'M UNFORTUNATELY STUCK IN THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I'M UPSIDE DOWN. THIS NEEDS ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY WHAT A TERRIBLE VEHICLE I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER! *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IF I DRIVE OVER ANY KIND OF BUMP, OR GROOVE IN THE ROAD THE BACK END OF THE VEHICLE BOUNCES AND SWAYS AND I HAVE TO GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL EXTRA TIGHT AND HOPE THAT I DON'T LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN I GO OVER BUMPS AT SLOWER SPEEDS BUT IT DOESN'T SWAY FROM SIDE TO SIDE, JUST BOUNCES UP AND DOWN. I FEEL EXTREMELY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AS I NEVER FEEL LIKE I AM FULLY IN CONTROL DUE TO THE BOUNCING/SWAYING!! WE HAVE REPLACED THE SHOCKS AND IT HAS NOT HELPED. *TR

THE 2008 INFINITY QX56 HAS SUSPENSION AND STEERING FLAWS THAT ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND MAY LEAD TO A CRASH. CAR DRIVES AND HANDLES FINE BUT OVER ANY ROAD IMPERFECTION THE STEERING WHEEL SHIMMIES AND SHAKES AND FEELS LIKE YOU ARE ABOUT TO LOSE CONTROL. STEERING WHEEL MUST BE HELD BY TWO HANDS AND EVEN THEN FEELS LIKE REAR END IS JUMPING AND ABOUT TO SEPARATE FROM FRONT END. I REPLACED SHOCKS AND VARIOUS OTHER SUSPENSION ITEMS AND HAD AN ALIGNMENT BUT THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WAY THIS CAR HANDLES. ALSO FEELS LIKE STEERING COLUMN IS ABOUT TO BREAK OFF THE VEHICLE. I UPDATED AND REPLACED ALL SWAY BAR LINKS, TIE RODS, CONTROL ARMS, STEERING BUSHINGS AND OTHER SUSPENSION BUSHINGS AND NOTHING IS HELPING ADDRESS THE UNSTEADY FEEL OF STEERING. IF I WILL NOT HOLD STEERING WHEEL TIGHT WITH BOTH HANDS, I WILL LOSE CONTROL. AFTER SPENDING $4 THOUSAND ON UPDATING ALL SUSPENSION COMPONENTS I'M GETTING RID OF MY CAR BECAUSE I FEEL ITS UNSAFE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN MY BRAKES STARTED TO SKIP. I STOP MY VEHICLE AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THEN PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE THEN I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN AS NORMAL. IT HAPPEN THREE MORE TIMES AFTER THAT. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR THIS KIND OF ISSUE TO OCCUR IN TRAVEL WHILE DRIVING AT ANY RATE OF SPEED. I NEED THIS ISSUE LOOKED AT BY THE DEALER SHIP AT THEIR EXPENSE. *TR
