My 2012 infiniti seems to be having the same problem other infiniti qx56 owners are having. starts with a loud hissing/whistling sound which seems to go away after 10-20 minutes of driving and the car feels just fine. today all my dashboard lights came on and my husband took the vehicle into the infiniti dealer, just to have the mechanic return a few minutes later to inform us it is a timing chain issue. i am huge on researching and after a few hours of research and realizing that some of these models have had recalls issued according to vin# for this same exact issue, i am in awe on why this recall is only being applied to specific vin #'s and not every single 2012 qx56 model. every complaint listed online from owners of these vehicles list the same exact issue. how are we being held accountable for a more than obvious manufacturing problem.
I have issues with air compressor and timing chain that just randomly went out, i was told there was a recall or campaign for it with infiniti i called infiniti and sent it to the dealership they stated it was not for my actual vin number but for same car with different vin number, i asked the question since i am having the same issue that has a recall on another vin same vehicle shouldn't your company fix all of that year vehicles make and model. i was told no.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 infiniti qx56. the contact stated that while attempting a turn at 55 mph, the passenger's side front and driver's side rear wheels independently increased in rotation, causing the vehicle to erroneously turn. the contact also stated that the seat belt warning light intermittently illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be diagnosed. the manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. the failure mileage was 800.
