 Description of the problem i have a 2004 infiniti qx 56 with 88000 miles on it. On thursday 2/14/13 steering wheel turned to the right at 180 degree. On friday 2/15/13 slip indicator and vdc appeared on the dash. Called the dealer and told to bring in the vehicle. When i got to the dealer the steering was completely lost. The steering wheel turned to a 360 degree freely and the tires did not move. The service dept. Came back and told me that the steering column/shaft was gone and would cost approx. $4000. 00 to fix. I contacted infiniti consumer affairs on 2/19/13 and was told they would open a claim and hear back in a business day. I called on 2/21/13 and still haven't heard anything. In the meantime the vehicle has been repaired at my cost. At that mileage and the top of the line vehicle of infiniti i don't think that problem should of happened. I am grateful that i wasn't on the road 2 minutes more than i was because it could of been a lot worse. On 2/21/13 when i received a call from service that the vehicle is ready i was told that it also needs a power steering pump in addition to the repair stated above. I believe that is a safety issue with the steering.
