SERVICE BRAKES

28 complaints

My wife was driving home from work, said brake is failing, makes loud grindy, rattling noise when brake is applied. Once the car is turn off and back on, everything is back to normal. When I got home, i took the wheels off to check everything was ok, pads were almost new, which I replaced last year. Drove around for 10 miles no problem. This is a serious safety issue which Nissan/Infiniti should take care of.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING MY FAMILY FROM TEXAS TO NORTH CAROLINA WHEN I RAN INTO RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC LONG THE WAY. I APPLIED THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN, THEN SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING, THERE WAS A LOUND GRIDDING NOISE AS IF THE ENGINE ABOUT TO FALLOUT AND MY BRAKE DIDNOT HOLD IMMEDIATELY WHEN APPLIED.

Apr 19, 2021

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING IN A DRY PARKING LOT AND APPLYING MY BRAKES, MY ABS BRAKES KICKED ON FOR NO REASON AND THE CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND STOP. THE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AND I HEARD ALOT OF GRINDING. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AS BOTH TIMES I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THE ONLY WAY TO RESET ABS WAS TO TURN OFF VEHICLE. I AM SO AFRAID THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO STOP. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE AND AM THINKING ABOUT SELLING IT BECAUSE I FEEL IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

Jun 30, 2018

I GET A BRAKE LIGHT AND A SLIP LIGHT SOMETIMES WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. MAKES AN AWFUL NOISE AND SOMETIMES THE BRAKES FAIL TO OPERATE. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT TO RESET SOMETHING AND THEN ITS FINE FOR A FEW DAYS AND COMES BACK. IT IS VERY SCARY. OTHERS WHO HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME THING. SAYING THEY THINK THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER IS DEFECTIVE. I HAVE ALSO HEARD OF PEOPLE CRASHING THEIR SUV BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS HAPPENS JUST WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. I SEE THIS A LOT IN THE FORUMS AND WONDER WHY THEY HAVEN'T RECALLED THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST 5 YEARS.

Oct 27, 2017

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW/HIGH SPEEDS, THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL JUST TURN ON UNEXPECTEDLY. ALSO, THE ABS BRAKES SEEM TO FAIL WHERE YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THE ONLY WAY TO TEMPORARILY FIX THIS IS TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON FOR THE BRAKE LIGHT TO GO AWAY. AGAIN, THIS WILL OCCUR AT LEAST 1-2 TIMES A DAY AND/OR 28 TIMES IN A MONTH WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO PUT A DRIVER IN ON THE HIGHWAY OR OTHER ROADWAYS.

DRIVING WITH MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN I DEPRESSED THE BRAKES THE CAR SHUTTERED BADLY ON THE FRONT END AND THE PEDDLE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE BARELY SLOWED DOWN. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO-ONE IN FRONT OF ME OR I WOULD HAVE CRASHED. PROBLEM CONTINUED UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RE-STARTED. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!! MANY OTHER SIMILAR ACCOUNTS AND IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THERE IS A DIFINITIVE RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM EVEN AFTER SPENDING THOUSANDS AT THE DEALERSHIPS. *TR

Apr 13, 2012

YESTERDAY APRIL 10,2012 I WAS DRIVING AND NEED TO STOP THE MY QX56 I FEEL A COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE,BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ON AND A LOUD NOISE UNDER THE VEHICLE. BRAKE PEDAL DOING ALL THE DOWN TO THE FLOOR. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART, EVERYTHING TURN BACK TO THE NORMAL AND WARNING LIGHT GONE. THIS IS SERIOUS ISSUE AND MANUFACTURER SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE ANY BODY DIE. *TR

Apr 11, 2012

TODAY, WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2004 INFINITI QX56 WITH 106,134 MILES, SHE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE, ALONG WITH THE "BRAKE" DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT. IT WAS DESCRIBED TO ME AS THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE PEDAL SHAKING, A LOUD NOISE FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INFINITI QX56 / NISSAN ARMADA FORUM, THE INTERNET, AND WWW.MYCARSTATS.COM SITE TO WHICH I'M A SUBSCRIBER. IT'S RIDICULOUS THAT WITH THE NUMBER OF STATED OCCURRENCES OF THIS FAILURE ON THESE VEHICLES THAT A FORMAL RECALL HAS NOT BEEN MANDATED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. AS WITH MOST OF THE OTHER REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING, TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE ELIMINATED THE "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT AND THE NORMAL PEDAL FEEL RETURNED TO OUR VEHICLE. THERE IS AT LEAST ONE REPORT OF THIS FAILURE RESULTING IN A SEVERE, ALMOST FATAL, ACCIDENT AND I'M SURE IF ACTUALLY INVESTIGATED THAT THERE ARE PROBABLY MORE. NISSAN - INFINITI - NHTSA: DO SOMETHING FORMAL ABOUT THIS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE, THEIR WIFE, AND OR CHILDREN ARE HURT OR KILLED! *TR

Jan 17, 2012

THIS 95% TOTAL BREAK FAILURE HAS HAPPENED 2 SEPARATE TIMES 8/2010 AND 3/2011; AND WHILE NO ACCIDENT, THERE COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN ONE HAD I BEEN TRAVELING AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED, OR IF THERE HAD BEEN OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME. APPLIED BREAK, IMMEDIATELY BRAKE PEDAL SUNK TO THE FLOOR, BREAK LIGHT ON DASH CAME ON, FRONT BREAKS BEGAN MAKING HARSH GRINDING SOUNDS (AS WHEN SLIP CONTROL ENACTS); HAD THERE BEEN CARS IN FRONT OF ME I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP W/OUT HITTING THEM. EVEN WITH FOOT TO FLOOR VEHICLE DID NOT STOP, DOWN SHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR, AND FINALLY VEHICLE SLOWED AND WAS ABLE TO STOP. PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF CAR; AFTER TURNING CAR BACK ON BRAKE LIGHT ON DASH HAD GONE AWAY AND BRAKES WERE ACTING NORMAL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND SOMEONE MAY DIE FROM THIS. THE FRONT DISCS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE NO GOOD EVEN AFTER INFINITI/NISSAN HAS DONE THEIR SO CALLED REPAIR AND CONTINUE TO PREMATURELY WARP.A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT NEEDS TO BE FORMED TO DEAL RESOLVE THIS MATTER INDEFINITELY. DEALER SUBSEQUENTLY REPROGRAMED VDC CONTROL.

ON JULY 1, 2012 I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 156 IN WINSTON-SALEM N.C. WHEN MY AIR CONDITION, TURN SIGNAL, SPEEDOMETER STOP WORKING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAN ON. WE WERE ON VACATION DRIVING THROUGH NORTH CAROLINA FROM GEORGIA. IT WAS SUNDAY AND WE DECIDED TO STAY OVERNIGHT TO HAVE THE QX56 INFINITY CHECKED OUT THE NEXT DAY FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE NEXT MOURNING ON OUR WAY TO THE INFINITY DEALERSHIP, THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE CAN ON AND LOCKED UP THE TRANSMISSION AND STOPPED MOVING. WE WERE ON HIGHWAY 156 DOWNTOWN WINSTON-SALEM ON MONDAY MOURNING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC STOPPED. I MANAGE TO EASY IT OFF THE ROAD AND CALLED AAA TO TOW ME TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO OTHER DEALERSHIPS IN JONESBORO GA. AND THEN IN HUNTSVILLE AL BEFORE MY TRIP BECAUSE OF THE SERVICE LIGHT COMING ON. MY FAMILY AND I WAS VERY LUCKY WE WERE NOT KILLED. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE GOT SOME VERY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEMS THAT MUST BE CHECK OUT BEFORE ANYTHING MAJOR HAPPEN THAT MAY HURT OR KILL SOMEONE.

MY 2004 INFINITY Q56 ENGINE CUTS OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD. DEALER IS AWARE OF A PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL YEAR MODELS DOING THIS SAME THING. ALL POWER IS LOST BRAKES , STEERING ECT. HAVE HAD 4 COMPUTER BOARDS REPLACE AND GOING BACK FOR ANOTHER TRY OCT.25-2010. INFINITY CONSUMER AFFAIRS HAS BEEN CONTACTED BUT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE CONCERNED THEY ARE NOT SURE OF A FIX. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET HELP, A BAD CRASH OR TWO? IF YOU TYPE IN PROBLEMS WITH Q56 CUTTING OFF WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD YOU WILL SEE THAT THE INTERNET HAS A GROUP OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME SCARY ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS. I MYSELF HAVE HAD A FEW CLOSE CALLS TRYING TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. FIRST INCIDENT JUNE 2007 LAST INCIDENT OCT. 20 , 2010. *TR

Oct 22, 2010

INFINITI QX56: INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL ON VEHICLE CAUSES ALL OF INSTRUMENT PANEL TO MALFUNCTION AND THE VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY STOP RUNNING. THIS OCCURS EVEN WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT BEING USED. THE LASER GUIDED SYSTEM CAUSES ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE CAUSING GAUGES TO FLUCTUATE RANDOMLY AND ALERT LIGHTS TO GIVE FALSE READINGS. DEALER DEEMS IT A "POOR DESIGN" AND CONSIDERS VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNLESS THE SYSTEM IS REPLACED. THE SYSTEM IS BEING REPLACED WITH THE EXACT SAME PART SO THE LIKELIHOOD OF RECURRENCE IS VERY HIGH. MULTIPLE VEHICLES AFFECTED; DEALER HAD SEVERAL VEHICLES IN THE SHIP WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

Aug 30, 2017

AT THE BEGINNING OF JUNE 2008, I NOTICED SPOTS ON MY GARAGE FLOOR UNDER THE CAR, TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE; I THOUGHT IT MUST BE THE OIL FILTER AND IT NEEDED TO BE TIGHTENED. I CONTINUED TO NOTICE THIS FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEKS. I WENT UNDER THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE LEAKY FLUID HAD CASCADED ALL UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. I WENT INTO HAVE IT SERVICED, DEALER SAID THAT IT WAS ATF FLUID, DEALER TIGHTENED A CLAMP. PROBLEM CONTINUED TO PERSIST, WENT INTO SERVICE, DEALER REPLACED HOSE. PROBLEM CONTINUED TO PERSIST, WENT INTO SERVICE, DEALER SAID THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE RADIATOR SYSTEM DUE TO DESIGN DEFECT IN THE HOSE AND CLAMP CONNECTION...TOTAL COST FOR THIS REPAIR $1086.96. WROTE LETTER TO INFINITY CONSUMER AFFAIRS, STATING I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS REPAIR AS IT WAS A NHTSA 10012879 BULLETIN AND MANUFACTURE DESIGN FAILURE.....THEIR REPLY: "SORRY CANT HELP YOU". THEY WOULD ONLY COVER THIS REPAIR TO THE LEAKING ATF FLUID IF THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY ((I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHILE MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE WORK DONE WITHIN 60DAYS OF MY WARRANTY EXPIRING, WITH ONLY 40K MILES ON THE CAR ' I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE OIL FILTER NEEDING TO BE TIGHTENED)) THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE MANUFACTURE NEEDS TO COVER IN FULL, REGARDLESS OF THE CAR BEING IN OR OUT OF WARRANTY; IF THIS LEAK CONTINUED TO PERSIST, THE FLUID COULD COME IN CONTACT WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD OR CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND CAUSE A FIRE. *TR

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE DEFECTIVE WHICH CREATES NOISE AND ALLOWS FUMES TO ESCAPE. INFINITI ADMITS THEY ARE DEFECTIVE BUT THEY WANT $2,800 TO $4,000 TO REPLACE THEM. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD AND INFINITI SHOULD REPLACE THEM FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

THE EMC RELAY IS BAD. I HAVE A LETTER SAYING IT WAS A RECALL.. AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF. IF YOU WAITED A LITTLE WHILE IT WOULD START UP AGAIN BUT IT SEEMED THAT WHEN IT GOT HOT IT WOULD SHUT DOWN AGAIN. IT COST ME 102.00 FOR TOW TRUCK AND THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING ME 160.00 AN HOUR TO CHECK WHAT IT IS. THEY SAY THERE IS NO RECALL BUT I HAVE LETTER IN FRONT OF ME.

Dec 03, 2020

MY GAS GAUGE IS ALWAYS NOT CORRECT. I ONLY RELY ON THE TIME AND HOW MUCH I FILLED IT. SEVERAL INCIDENTS THAT IT DIDN'T START, EVEN THE GAS GAUGE IN THE DASHBOARD SAYS ITS FULL BUT IT'S EMPTY. I DID TALKED TO THE MECHANIC HE TOLD ME THAT THERE'S A RECALL FOR IT FROM THE NATIONAL SAFETY BUT EVERY TIME I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE THE DEALER WILL DENY IT AND SAYS THAT THE VIN NUMBER SAYS NO HISTORY OF RECALL. THE SPEEDOMETER AND RPM NOT READING ACCURATELY, THE DEALER SAYS I HAVE TO CHANGE THE WHOLE DASH BOARD, BUT WHEN I WENT TO THE OTHER MECHANIC HE SAYS IT'S THE IPDM AND ON I WAS GOOGLING ABOUT ANY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND IT TO YOUR SITE ABOUT RECALL BUT THE DEALER AGAIN SAYS THERE'S NO RECALL IN VIN NUMBER. IN YOUR WEBSITE IT SEEMS LIKE THE ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING WHICH I PAID THEM TO FIX IT. ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON, THE MECHANIC SAYS ABOUT EXHAUST MANIFOLD NEED TO BE REPLACE, NISSAN MATERIAL CAN BREAK EASILY. I SPEND MORE THE $4500 FIXING THIS AND THAT. EXCLUDING THE EXPENSES THAT I HAD FROM THE DEALER SHOP.

I HAVE A 2004 INFINITI QX 56 WITH 88000 MILES ON IT. ON THURSDAY 2/14/13 STEERING WHEEL TURNED TO THE RIGHT AT 180 DEGREE. ON FRIDAY 2/15/13 SLIP INDICATOR AND VDC APPEARED ON THE DASH.CALLED THE DEALER AND TOLD TO BRING IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALER THE STEERING WAS COMPLETELY LOST. THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED TO A 360 DEGREE FREELY AND THE TIRES DID NOT MOVE. THE SERVICE DEPT. CAME BACK AND TOLD ME THAT THE STEERING COLUMN/SHAFT WAS GONE AND WOULD COST APPROX. $4000.00 TO FIX. I CONTACTED INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON 2/19/13 AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD OPEN A CLAIM AND HEAR BACK IN A BUSINESS DAY. I CALLED ON 2/21/13 AND STILL HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING. IN THE MEANTIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED AT MY COST. AT THAT MILEAGE AND THE TOP OF THE LINE VEHICLE OF INFINITI I DON'T THINK THAT PROBLEM SHOULD OF HAPPENED. I AM GRATEFUL THAT I WASN'T ON THE ROAD 2 MINUTES MORE THAN I WAS BECAUSE IT COULD OF BEEN A LOT WORSE. ON 2/21/13 WHEN I RECEIVED A CALL FROM SERVICE THAT THE VEHICLE IS READY I WAS TOLD THAT IT ALSO NEEDS A POWER STEERING PUMP IN ADDITION TO THE REPAIR STATED ABOVE.

WE CURRENTLY OWN A 2004 INFINITI QX56. WE HAVE RECEIVED ERROR CODE B1177 WHICH IS FOR THE PRETENSIONER IN SEATBELTS. ADDITIONALLY, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING. WE UNDERSTAND FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO THE BATTERY BEING REPLACED AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BAG ON SHORTLY THEREAFTER AND WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO SCANNED THE CODE. HE ADVISED US OF THE ERROR CODE AND WHAT IT WAS ASSOCIATED WITH. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, IT APPEARS THAT AN EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF OWNERS OF THE INFINITI QX56 AS WELL AS THE NISSAN ARMADA (SISTER VEHICLE) HAVE THIS EXACT ISSUE. WE ARE UNSURE AS TO WHETHER THE AIRBAGS WILL FAIL IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OR IF THE SAFETY BELTS WILL ALSO NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE HAS A 10 YEAR SEATBELT WARRANTY BUT THE DEALERS ARE STATING THAT THIS ITEM IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS OBVIOUS NEGLECT AND DEFECT ON THE MANUFACTURER'S PART AND PUTS THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES AT SERIOUS RISK. WE ARE A FAMILY OF 5 WITH 3 SMALL CHILDREN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITY QX56. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 50 MPH WHEN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE FRONT SUSPENSION LOWER CONTROL ARMS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC TO HAVE THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 119,000. THE CONSUMER AT HIS OWN EXPENSE, HE HAD TO REPLACE THE LEFT AND RIGHT CONTROL LOWER ARMS. THE CONSUMER STATED A RECALL WAS ISSUED IN MAY 2010. HOWEVER, HE WAS INFORMED THAT FOR HIS MODEL THE PARTS WERE NOT DEFECTIVE, AND THEREFORE DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL. ALSO, ALL FOUR BELT PRE-TENSIONS HAD TO BE REPLACED ON BOTH SIDE. THE CONSUMER STATED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE PRE-TENSIONS FAILED. EACH TIME THEY FAILED, IT RENDERED THE AIR BAGS NON-FUNCTIONAL. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $8000 DUE TO THE FAILURE OF A $10 SWITCH INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REVERSE COMPONENT. THE WIPER FLUID MOTOR WAS DIAGNOSED AS BEING INOPERABLE. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED IT WOULD REQUIRE REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS. THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A SECOND OPINION AND WAS TOLD A HOSE HAD COME OFF AND RE-ATTACHED IT FREE OF CHARGE THE ENTIRE BRAKE ASSEMBLY, DRIVER SIDE WINDOW MOTOR, LIFT GATE MOTOR, TACHOMETER, DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK, HVAC CONTROL, BLOWER RESISTOR AND EXHAUST HEAT SHIELD ALL HAD TO BE REPLACED. .

AIR BAGS,SEAT BELTS

1 complaint

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. DEALER STATES THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER WIRING. OWNERS MANUAL STATES THAT IF THIS LIGHT COMES ON, IT MOST LIKELY MEANS THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL. SEAT BELTS AND AIRBAGS ARE KEY SAFETY MEASURES. TO HAVE THEM BE NOT FUNCTIONING IS A MAJOR CONCERN. IF YOU PUT IN A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR "AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING INFINITI QX56" YOU WILL FIND HUNDREDS OF POSTINGS FROM PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS, SO THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. *TR

STRUCTURE,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

1 complaint

I HAVE COMPLAINED OVER THE COURSE OF 4-6 MONTHS ABOUT THE CRUISE CONTROL GOING OUT. IT EITHER GOES OUT COMPLETELY, OR THE CRUISE CONTROL WITHOUT SMART FOLLOWING GOES OUT. WHEN IT DOES GO OUT, BUMPING THE INCREASE SPEED BUTTON CAUSES THE ENGINE TO IDLE THUSLOSING SPEED. EXPECIALLY BAD ON THE INTERSTATE. THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM (DENIED THIS PROBLEM 3 TIMES NOW). SEEMS FUNNY WHEN THERE IS A TSB TO COVER THE WORK. DATE HERE IS DATE OF LAST SERVICE TO REPAIR PAINT WHICH IS CHIPPING OFF THE FRONT..DOWN TO BARE METAL, AND THEN METAL RUSTING...WHICH IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT CAN OF WORMS.
