PROBLEMS WITH THE TIMING BELT CHAIN ON NEWER MODEL INFINITI QX56. PROBLEM OF CAR MAKING WHISTLING NOISE APPEARED EARLY AFTER PURCHASE AND INTERMITTENTLY THEREAFTER BUT BECAME PROMINENT IN JULY 2011. APPEARS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE MODEL. DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE ON THE VEHICLE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, WE BELIEVE THE UNDERLYING DEFECT IN THE TIMING BELT CHAIN WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR AND THAT THERE IS THE POTENTIAL THE ENGINE COULD FAIL AND CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT(S) AND/OR FATALIT(IES). *TR

AIR BAGS DO NOT ENGAGE WHEN MY WIFE SITS IN FRONT SEAT. SHE WEIGHS 100 POUNDS BUT I WOULD THINK AIR BAG SYSTEM SHOULD WORK FOR AN ADULT OF THIS SIZE. *TR
