QX56 suspension = horrible ride by infqx56
Jan 26, 2008 (9:47 am)

Hello, I own 06' qx56 and also leasing a fx35 and was wondering if anyone else isn't satisfied with the ride quality on the qx56. I've been in a scion with better ride quality. I love my truck but the suspension isn't what I expect it from day 1. I had the dealer check my suspension and was told its fine (told me yeah thats air suspension). As i'm traveling on the highway doing 50-65mph going over bumps or imperfection on the road the car would jerk and rattle to one side. Is this normal??? What could be the problem??? Also recently as I go over a speed bump or if the car goes up a small bump or hill on the road and the front end slams down (with my windows open) I hear something crumpling, sounds like a 2 liter plastic bottle being steped on(crushed). Has anyone else experience this??? One more thing ... driving with your window down 2inches or so...does your window rattle as if it felt loose???

memory seats by robert

I posted in the old thread, but thought I'd post here as more traffic. I have a 05 QX that the seats don't always return to postion. It never happened for the first 1-1 1/2 yrs and is increasing in frequency. I have thought about whether I hit seat adjust buttons when exiting or entering, but since it never happened in the beginning, I can't believe I'm hitting them that frequently now. Happens 3-4 times per week but of course never at the dealer.....thoughts???

Daytime Running Lights by benbo

I currently own a GMC Yukon and a Ford F-150. Both have day time running lights, came on Yukon, had installed on F-150. I own a 08 QX56 and wonder if running lights can be installed. I read , rather let me say, I scanned , the owners manual and I don't believe that QX56s sold in the U.S. come so equipped. Question is whether any readers had running lights installed after purchase.
I just turned 1200 miles and I really enjoy the car when my wife lets me get behind the wheel. Both my F-150 and Q56 are black which sort of led me to order the Zaino Kit, for $86.00 , to see if I get the POP! that readers speak of. I must now build up my courage, stamina, and what else I need muster up to attack a 6 hour task.

6 hours to Zaino? I did the dawn, clay, to z-5 on a Yukon Denali in little over an hour. Course if you're doing a 6 pack an hour I can understand why it would take you 6 hours.

I have a 2006; and you are right. QX in US does not come with DRL. Since I always want one, I went back to the dealer and ask for it. What they did was to put a DLR module which hooked up to the HID.
 
To further the discussion, I asked them why the HID. They explained to me that the QX in US does not come with the harness that allows DRL by simply switching a fuse (like my brothers BMW X3). They did that to the fog light in the past; but had a lot of complains about frequent replacement. HID on the other hand is more long lasting. Of course, I won't be able to tell until maybe 100,000 miles later. Theoretically, it should be the case.
 
It costed me about $400 to do it. Hope this helps!

lifgate problems by crose454

My wife took our qx56 to the car wash and noticed the guy after cleaning out the inside pulling the liftgate down instead of using the button. Tonight I tried the button on the key fob and dash and could not get either of them to work. The liftgate opens fine manually. When I push the buttons there are no blinking lights, beeping or anything like it is trying to do the job. Just nothing! Any ideas if this is a mechanical problem or if it might be something simple.

My 2005 qx56 had a dent repaired and the liftgate was slightly taken apart. After repair, all my lights, beeps, and electrical opening of my trunk were gone as well. Since that time, my car has been stalling while driving. It is a security issue of some kind. The SUV wants to re-start, but won't, as the fuel is cut off. Did you figure out your problem? I think mine are related.

Rattling noise in front wheels by ldr63
Aug 18, 2008 (12:05 pm)

I have a 2008 Infiniti QX56 with approximately 18K miles. Whenever I drive on a rough road or go over a bump, I hear a rattling noise in my front wheels that sounds like marbles or ball bearings rattling around. Also, when I step on the brakes I hear a single clicking noise. I took it to the dealer to fix and they treated me like a fool. They said my license plate was loose. After leaving the dealer, I could still hear the noise.
