| Has anyone figured out how to hang a clothes hanger in the cargo area? There are "cargo hooks" back there, which are not really suitable for a clothes hanger. A real pain... | |
I have searched and searched for a way to bypass or defeat or disconnect the new destination lock out of my nav system that prevents programming while the vehicle is moving. There HAS to be a way. Does anyone know about this? Thanks!

I test drove an '08 QX56 this evening. The brochure the salesperson gave us states that standard equipment on the truck includes a transmission temperature gauge, and Infiniti's website shows the same thing. That feature is of strong interest to us as we plan to do some heavy towing. However I couldn't find the gauge, and the salesperson pointed to what was obviously the engine oil pressure gauge. The 2008 owners manual available on line at infiniti-techinfo.com DOES NOT show the truck as having one (although the 2007 manual at the same website does shows one...the gauge cluster appears to have been changed for 2008). Are the brochure and Infiniti's website incorrect? If yes, of course it makes you wonder what other information they are publishing is wrong. Interestly the '08 Armada owners manual available on line at nissan-techinfo.com clearly shows the transmission temperature gauge included in the gauge cluster. That makes no sense at all...why would the Nissan version of the truck have the gauge, but not the Infiniti (at a much higher price)?

Badinfinity, after reading all your past posts it's clear you have a chip on your shoulder because of the problems you had with your QX56 and that your opinion is not objective at all. You've expressed your opinion over and over again to the point that it's tiring. Don't you have the ability to just move on? All your have to do is read through the posts and it clear that most people are pretty happy with their QX56's. Sure, it's not the most problem free truck made, but the brake problems were in the early model years and have long since been solved. I know a number of people that have Armadas and QX56's. The two that have early model years did have brake issues, and they have long since been fixed under warranty by Nissan and Infiniti. All the other people I know that have or have had these trucks had no unusual brake issues at all, just the usual pad replacement. And then on top of that, you are suggesting that an acceptable alternative is an Escalade? You must be kidding! Not only is the Escalade far from trouble free (just go over to the Escalade forum and read the posts), read any reviews where the Escalade and QX56 are compared. The QX56 has superior ride and handling, and has a much higher towing capacity. Finally, let me share my personal experience about the new Escalades. My cousin and one of my co-workers both bought '07 Escalades, and they are both so sorry they did. The transmission in my cousin's truck starting slipping when it was a month old. Only after 4 trips back the dealer and numerous phone calls to Cadillac, did they agree to replace the trans. And it's still not fixed correctly, at times the trans shifts very abruptly, and both the dealer and Cadillac claim that it's normal. Other issues with the truck have included a wheel that had to be replaced because it had a slow air leak, the front brake rotors had to be replaced because they were warped, the power steering pump had to be replaced, and the check engine light is on for the 4th time this morning. On my co-worker's truck, when the truck was 2 days old it would only move in reverse and had to be towed back to the dealer. A week later the same thing happened again, and a week after that there was no reverse! Finally Cadillac replaced the transmission. Two months later they replaced the transmission again because you could smell the fluid burning. The third trans seems OK so far, but his truck has 4000 miles on it and he is already on his third transmission! They must be using weak transmissions in these trucks as I noticed the tow rating is very low compared to the Navigator and QX56. I certainly would steer clear of the Cadillac Escalade.
