2007 Infiniti Qx56 problems
The Infiniti QX80 (formerly called the Infiniti QX56 until 2013) is a full-size luxury SUV marketed by Nissan's luxury division Infiniti. The first-generation QX56 was built in the United States and is based on the first-generation Armada. The second-generation model was released in 2010 as a model produced in Japan, which used the sixth-generation Patrol (later also marketed as the second-generation Armada since 2016) as the base vehicle instead. Since the 2014 model year in 2013, the vehicle was renamed to the QX80 as Infiniti renamed their entire product line under a new nomenclature.
First generation (JA60; 2004)
The first-generation QX56 (model code JA60) is based on the first-generation Armada, while also sharing the F-Alpha platform with the first-generation Titan. It is the first Infiniti built in the United States. The QX56 was only marketed in the United States, Canada, Russia, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Development on the JA60 QX56 began in early 2000 alongside the WA60 Armada. A final design by Masato Takahashi was reached in early 2001, with an August 2001 design freeze for early 2004 start of production.
The rear door handles were installed on the C-pillar as a Nissan design tradition started with the D21 Pathfinder released in 1985 to visually make it appear like a two-door truck with a camper shell, with conventional door handles on the front doors.
The first-generation QX56 was powered by a 5.6-liter VK56DE V8 engine (320 hp (239 kW) at 4,900 rpm and 393 lb⋅ft (533 N⋅m) torque at 3,600 rpm) and a 5-speed automatic transmission with an overdrive. As is common with aluminum blocks, each cylinder in the engine was lined with cast iron. The valvetrain was a DOHC design with four valves per cylinder. Infiniti designed the QX56's throttle responsiveness to correspond to specific drivetrain modes: when the driver selects all-wheel drive, the throttle becomes less sensitive, presumably to allow easier regulation of acceleration when off-road.
The QX56 had around 9,000 lb (4,082 kg) of towing capacity. Mileage at peak performance drain is 12 miles per US gallon (20 L/100 km; 14 mpg‑imp). It comes in one trim level, with only key options such as: DVD entertainment system, 4WD/2WD, and a bench instead of captain chairs as the second row. Other features which came standard were a ten-speaker Bose system, DVD-based navigation system, leather trim for all seats, dual-climate control, 18-inch chrome alloy wheels, and an adaptive cruise control system. A Precrash system was a unique feature in the market as well.
Since the demise of the Q45 (which was priced above the QX56) after 2006, the QX56 was the most expensive Infiniti sold in North America and was Infiniti's only full-size vehicle.
In early 2007 for the 2008 model year, the Infiniti QX56 received a minor facelift which included a revised grille, a redesigned interior, a new intelligent key system, more standard equipment, new third-row seats that fold electronically and standard 20-inch chrome wheels. Introduced at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in January 2007, the facelifted model went on sale in April 2007.
After the 2010 model year, the QX56 and Armada no longer share the same body, as the first-generation Armada continued to be produced in the United States until the 2015 model year, while the second-generation QX56 switched to the body used by the Y62 Patrol.

Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to share my experience with the QX56. I previously owned a 2004 model which had a couple of significant problems, but despite that, I found it really comfortable and great to drive on the highway. After a year and a half, I decided to trade it in for a 2006 model, and I have been extremely happy with it in every respect. It seems that the early manufacturing problems and quality control issues have been resolved based on my experience. I have had limited experience with my dealer, but my scheduled maintenance visits have been superb. The '06 QX56 is fantastic on the road--powerful and comfortable. The interior is very well done. I have noticed that my gas mileage on the road is inversely proportional to my speed. At 70 mph, I get 19.2-19.5 mpg. Thanks for listening!

After considering the Lexus, Cadillac, and GMC SUV trucks, I ultimately chose the Infinity, and it was the best decision I ever made. I have put 150,000 miles on my Chevy Suburban, but the drive of the QX is quiet, smooth, and luxurious. I have not encountered any problems with the mechanics or finishes of the vehicle, both inside and out. The GPS is incredibly user-friendly, and the sound system is wonderful. Working with Infinity has been a breeze, and their system of loaner cars makes normal maintenance hassle-free. The seats are easy to maneuver, and the configurations provide a lot of flexibility. The only drawback is the gas mileage.

Before seeing commercials and ads around town, I didn't know much about Infinitis. However, I was tired of the sporty SUV look and wanted something classy and different. That's when I discovered the Infiniti QX56 and fell in love with it. I was so enamoured that I had all the extras imaginable added to it, including 22

My wife and I were considering the Mercedes GL-450, but after test driving the QX56, we were sold! We found the QX56 to be superior to the Mercedes, and we are so happy with our decision. While we wish the QX56 had some additional features like the Intelligent Key and power folding seats, we don't think they are worth the $20k price difference. If you're in the market for a large SUV, we highly recommend test driving the QX56. Additionally, we had a great experience with Infiniti's service team, who provided excellent support.

I've been searching for a luxury SUV for quite some time now. I didn't want to follow the crowd, so when I saw an ad for the QX56, I knew I had to see it for myself! I called my husband and we went to test drive the SUV. To our surprise, it didn't even feel like an SUV. Coming from a Tahoe to a QX56 was a huge upgrade. It drives like a luxury car! We're so in love with Infiniti, all of their models are amazing. The safety features are top-notch, which is especially important to us as parents of two kids. We feel very secure with the added safety measures. We're even considering buying a small car for my husband to add to our collection. Our kids will have Infinitis to drive off to college in (station wagon). I can finally exhale!

Are you having problems with your 2007 Infiniti Qx56?
Miguel Steuber 2024-10-08
This vehicle has unfortunately had several issues since its purchase, including scratches, flaws, and rust. The DVD player and differentials also experienced problems within a short period of time. Additionally, the key fobs have been inconsistent in their functionality. Despite these challenges, I have confidence in the quality of Infiniti vehicles and believe that these issues can be resolved with proper attention and care.
Damien Lueilwitz 2024-09-07
After reading all the other reviews, I'm starting to believe that I may have received a faulty vehicle. While my driver's seat is comfortable, the other six seats are not. During the winter, I struggle to get into the car as the handles become frozen shut (despite living in Long Island where temperatures are not extremely cold). This SUV is unfortunately one of the top 5 fuel guzzlers. Additionally, the wood pieces tend to fall out of the doors when closing them. Like most other SUVs, opening the windows feels like taking off in a plane, but these windows are by far the worst in its class.
Arvid Bayer 2024-03-04
I leased a QX56 in June 07. Unfortunately, the Continental Tires on it made the ride noisy and rough. Additionally, all the doors and windows rattled. The door hinges and strikers were misaligned and had to be realigned. The gas mileage was 11 in the city and 17 on the highway, which was expected. However, the interior was exceptional. The only downside was the Nav system, which was not user-friendly and had two voices, one of which was difficult to understand. This is a 39-month lease with 45,000 miles. Recently, just after starting the vehicle, the 4WD, SLIP, VDC, and ABS idiot lights came on! I took the vehicle to the dealer, and they found that the sensor had an open circuit. They also found wiring harness damage to the L/F sensor. They claimed that the wires were eaten by a mouse and that the wire was covered with a plastic cable. Unfortunately, they want $300+ to fix it!
Rocio Trantow 2024-01-09
Outperforms any comparable SUV by a county mile. It's extremely comfortable on long trips. The claimed 19mpg is a complete fiction, more like 13. However, the looks improve dramatically with custom wheels (mine are 22 inches). The a/c and stereo system are powerful, but can be hard to adjust comfortably. The DVD system can be complicated. I have had problems with shuddering during braking, but Infiniti service is first class - they try very hard to please.
