Component 1 - strut tower rusted in several locations, component 2 - running boards rusted out and were repaired. I understand there maybe be a recall for the strut tower. My current condition will need to be repaired for pa inspection. The last recall I had to do w/the gas tank, the federal safety agency campaign #07v435000, which I already had replaced before the recall. Just trying to save having something done twice, but it needs to be repaired for safety. I have pictures that can be sent, should you request. Thank you. The dealer informed the consumer her vehicle qualified for the recall. However, infiniti had not made a decision on how to fix the problem. The consumer stated the vehicle will not pass inspection and the steering has a shimmy. Updated 06/15/11
1999 Infiniti QX4 steering complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have a 1999 infiniti qx4, which overall has been a sturdy vehicle. However, over the past few years we have replaced both front strut towers & associated parts, last year had to replace the entire steering column & just had in the shop for engine related issues. It's going back in the shop tomorrow as it seems it now has transmission issues. The strut & steering column repairs were hundreds of dollars each.
Steering locked up - gearbox or steering column failure.
Steering wheel shook. Vehicle has been at dealer 9 times for this problem, could not solve problem. Dealer has done wheel alignment/replaced tires and rack and pinion. But, this did not improve condition. Factory representative stated once rack and pinion was replaced and most consumers were satisfied.*ak
