I OWN A 2012 QX 53. AT 70,000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, COST OVER $4000. I NOW HAVE 154,000 MILES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.

WHEN WAITING AT A STOPLIGHT FOR A LONG PERIOD THE BRAKE PEDAL GRADUALLY EASES DOWN AND THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO ROLL FORWARD TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM GOING FORWARD EXTRA PRESSURE NEEDS TO BE APPLIED TO THE PEDAL TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STOPPED AT THIS TIME THE PEDAL IS ALMOST AT THE FLOOR. ALONG WITH THIS THE TRANSMISSION STARTED MAKING A VERY LOUD BANG WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. MY CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY TOLD ME NO OTHER MODEL HAS THIS PROBLEM THIS IS NORMAL .

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
