2012 INFINITI QX56 consumer reviews

Owned it for 10 years and has been a joy to drive. Handles great in the snow, plenty of space for passengers and/or cargo, and no major problems. Great looking SUV that has been extremely dependable. Very happy with our purchase.

Just hit 100,000 miles the rear subframe rusted completely off the SUV and both lower control arms. The vehicle is in great shape interior exterior looks like a million dollars until you put it on a lift and look at the rear subframes they rust completely out this should be recalled just wow and you want to talk about expensive to fix. You want to own one of these if you have to ask how much it cost to repair you shouldn't buy it.

My Wife loves the looks of this vehicle, The exterior styling is a one of a kind. The interior is beautiful to look at. It “ SADLY” sits in my front yard as a lawn Ornament. Yes it is the broken timing chain that Nissan is famous for. The dealer in Hilton Head pulled the codes and said to “TRY” to fix it would cost $4,900.00. They went on to say that if the work they did was not the actual problem they would charge us another $180.00 to pull the codes and then tear the front of the engine down again and that cost could be another $ 6,200.00. Then the dealer said she is “HOPING” that would fix it! So yeah that is $11,100.00. When I Asked her why she would charge me another $ 180.00 to pull codes the second time she it’s because that is “just what it cost”. So the morale of the story if you want a $ 30,000.00 lawn ornament to look at the go buy this vehicle. We went and bought another $30,000.00 Toyota Sequoia and it may not be as pretty, not as fast, not as stylish on the inside but it runs. Infinity should be ashamed to have sold an expensive flagship vehicle knowing it was mis-engineered.

Tried to get The Ecm repaired and dealer told me it is a know issue with the Ecm but infinity will not initiate a recall. Quote was $9000 to replace ecm and engine harness. TRUCK ONLY HAS 90,000 MILES. After doing some research it is others out there having the same issue and almost impossible to fix. This truck is worthless.

This vehicle checks off ALL of the boxes. It is the PERFECT family car! Stylish, comfortable, and affordable. This is my favorite SUV of all time!!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS TRASH . SUPER EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR . Problems with timing chain , catalytic, ECM etc . Not worth it ! Infinity is junk

Great vehicle and very reliable. Super spacious and comfortable for a large group or individual! Lots of power and towing capability. Classy design and features.

Stay away from this SUV. From the years of 2011-2019 they are the same exact SUV, same exact parts used and nothing has changed except for lights in 2015 and a new body in 2019 (still using the entire same part system). Almost everyone of these is having timing chain issues, all of them have catalytic convert issues going out right around 85k miles. Thats right when the actual emissions warranty goes out. This car has two cats in it and yes they both go out at different times. (just repaired mine at 87k miles) Read online forums... This SUV is known to have ECM/PCM issues due to a bad harness. Thats pretty much the brain/computer of the car and thats a $7000 repair. (just repaired mine at 85k miles) Left a range rover for this unreliable car and im banging my head because I dont even love it. I wanted something reliable and this is the complete opposite. Shoulda just stuck with range rover and been miserable, atleast I would be miserable in something I absolutely love. My air suspension compressor just went out as well, and I had to change all the hose's to the system. (just repaired mine at 89k miles) VERY UNCOMFORTABLE RIDE! First off, the head rest feels like its a whole mile away from you so you can never just rest your head while driving for support on long drives. Its ridiculous how far back it is with not being able to adjust it. You feel every crack/bump in the road, and the beast wont drive in a straight light when there is snow. Its all over the road. STAY AWAY AND GO BUY SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!

I had this SUV for years and love it! I have about 100,000 miles and hope for 100,000 more. It is so reliable which must be because it was built so well. The interior is super comfortable. One of the reasons that I chose it was because it had the maximum amount of arm length between my kids that used to fight in the back when they were toddlers. It is also huge which as a EMT fireman's wife, I know the importance of keeping your kids head above everything else in case of an accident. It commands a respectable presence on the road probably due to its size. I could never go back. I am very happy!

Short or long trips, this vehicle is so comfortable and drives fantastically. It is perfect for a family or someone who travels a lot. Unmatchable comfort and stability.
