FAILURE OR BRAKE ROTORS ON BRAND NEW INFINITY QX56 @ 2000 MILES. FOUND OUT ON INTERNET THAT THIS IS A COMMON NATIONWIDE PROBLEM WITH ALL NEW NISSAN ARMADA'S AND INFINITY QX56'S. DEALER WANTS TO RESURFACE DEFECTIVE ROTORS. I DO NOT THINK THE VEH. IS SAFE TO DRIVE. *JB

PROBLEMS WITH PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG.*MR SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEACTIVATION INDICATOR LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH INTERMITTENTLY. THE REAR LIFT GATE SENSOR WOULD BEEP WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT COULD NOT OFFER AN IMMEDIATE SOLUTION. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WASHER SPRAYER DID NOT FUNCTION. THE LIQUID BEING SPRAYED OUT OF THE SPRAYER WAS ALCOHOL WHICH DISCOLORED THE PAINT ON THE HOOD COWLING. THE DVD ENTERTAINMENT UNIT BROKE. WHILE DRIVING OVER BUMPS THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE CABIN PRESSURE AND EMITTED A LOW FREQUENCY BOOMING SOUND. THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED THAT A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED FOR THAT PROBLEM.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT THEY WERE WAITING FOR AN ANSWER FROM THE TECH LINE. *NM
