2005 Infiniti QX56 Electrical system Problems

“While driving in residential/business area my vehicle completely lost power and turned off. I drifted to the side of the road without power steering. Tried to start vehicle again. Vehicle would start but would immediately die-would not idle. After resting approx 5 minutes I was able to start again and continue home. This has happened 3 times in the past 2 months. I am terrified to drive this vehicle again. I also cannot keep the drivers side headlight working. Bulbs constantly blow out at over 300.00 dollars each.”

“My airbag light stays on constantly. There is a knocking sound that occurs as well when I'm driving. I'm concerned if I'm involved in a collision my airbags will not deploy. I contacted Infiniti and was told they need to reset it and will cost $800.00 and my extended warranty did not cover it and was not part of the recall list. The ipdm ECM relay switch causes my instrument cluster gauge to go in and out, the check engine light comes on, my truck jerks trying to switch gears, it will sometimes start up after several tries, it causes the RPM's to read over 7 when I'm only driving 60 MPH. …”

“This letter is in reference to a previous complaint filed with Infiniti consumer affairs on december 3, 2009, regarding my vehicle shutting completely down, stalled out, not moving in the drive or reverse position at a busy intersection on a rainy stormy evening.

“While driving on the freeway I noticed that the tachometer continued rising instead of going up and down with the speed. By the time I got home the gauge was facing straight down, stuck in that position. I turned the car off and on to see if it would change the gauge, but nothing happened. Next I put the can in park, set the parking brake and hit the accelerator and the gauge began to slowly move backwards, after doing this a few times the gauge moved back around slowly. After doing this 5 times the gauge is just to the left of the red area. …”
