1998 Infiniti QX4 Suspension Problems

“As I passed through an intersection, a vehicle went through a red light. I tried to veer to avoid him, but the steering column failed. As a result of this equipment failure, the car struck my vehicle and my car was totalled. After my car was scrapped, I received the safety recall notice.”

“Had a recall on our car and when we called to tell them we had it fixed they wanted us to take it to their dealer which the closest one to us is over 300 miles and impossible for us to do I am on disability and can barley survive on what I get and there is no way possible for me to be able to afford to travel this distance money wise they are supposed to reimbursed me for the repair expenses but wont if I cant get it to their dealer. …”

“I recently bought this car today and it was driving fine at low speeds, but until I accelerated over 40mph the rear back was swerving left to right after I release my foot off the gas. Almost had 4 crashes. Something in the rear is making the car swerve like its losing traction but only when it's released off the gas pedal. It was the biggest fatal part of experience within driving of my life. All I know is that it is pretty rusted on the strut areas since I checked if something was broken under the car. …”

“The contact owns a 1998 Infiniti QX4. The contact was driving 35 MPH when the vehicle began drifting from left to right. The contact had to slow the vehicle down in order to stop the drifting. The contact took the vehicle to a local mechanic where the mechanic stated that the rear spring and shocks needed to be replaced. The contact replaced both rear shocks and springs but the repair did not remedy the failure. The contact took the vehicle back to the mechanic and the mechanic advised that the rear bushing also need to be replaced. …”

“The contact owns a 1998 Infiniti QX4. The contact stated that the left strut apron broke and it was covered with rust which caused the steering coupling to shear off. While driving approximately 5 MPH, he tried to make a turn and the steering wheel did not respond. The vehicle was towed to a service station. He also noticed that when driving over pot holes there was limited stability in the steering wheel; although, the shocks and struts were replaced prior to the failure. The dealer and manufacturer have not been notified. The current and failure mileages were approximately 135,000.”
