I think this is the same issue as others. The 2011 White QX56 definitely has a paint issue. In March 2017, I noticed above me windshield a quarter size paint chip. Originally it looks like there was some impact that caused water to get under the paint causing it to peel.

I placed claim with my insurance that they paid. On pickup, another paint chip was caused literally by removing the masking tape. The body shop took care of that, but were really perplexed why the original paint wasn't sticking.

Now, along the back window I've got additional paint chipping.

I have to agree with the other owners. This should not happen with luxury car. Now I'm at the point of trade in knowing that it's likely suffering thousands of dollars of value loss.

Inifiti would be well served to outreach to owners to address this head on.

I agree with everyone that this issue with paint peeling off should be addressed by Infiniti and or Nissan of North America. It is absolutely ridiculous paying as much as we did for this type of SUV to have the paint peel right off to look like sh*t. So I'm going to ride around with with these big patches of paint missing until I can figure out how to get Infiniti to take care of this. I truly feel ripped off and I have been purchasing Infiniti for along time now. I think I will reconsider now and go with a Lexus or Toyota. I think I'm done paying all this money for cars including the stupid maintenance.

I noticed that the front of my car had some spots above the windshield. Some were sizes of dimes, other spots were larger than quarters. It turned out that paint was missing for these spots! When I climbed up to peer at the top, there were larger pieces flaking off! I took it to be estimated for and estimate to repair. They auto body place said it looked like a manufacturer defect, that there must have been air bubbles during the paint process which was now affecting the area. He said I would have to strip the entire top panel off and essentially repaint the whole top. And because its a special metallic type pearl, it was even more expensive. The quote to repair is $2000. I'm checking my extended warranty to see if it is covered.

Very Annoyed that such an expensive car is having this problem. My paint is peeling on my 2011 White Infiniti QX56. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE!!! There are numerous posts on infiniti forums, facebook, and other websites of other people having this same issue. It is an obvious manufacturing defect and Infiniti needs to rectify this immediately instead of giving people run around. I have had 3 Infiniti vehicles before this and have been a strong advocate of the brand. Unfortunately they have lost a long time customer and will tell everyone never to purchase their product!!!!

I bought my 2011 QX56 in May 2015 with about 35k miles, now 2 years later with about 55k miles the paint started peeling about 6 months ago. Not covered under the original warranty or the extended one I purchased.

Main problem is the rear hatch, both sides and it seems to be getting larger. Noticed the peeling also starting on the roof line just above the windshield. Like so many others, really upset that Infiniti is just ignoring the problem and its a shame because it really is a nice vehicle.

I'd like to get the areas repaired and repainted but I'm hesitating because I'm not sure if more or different areas will start to peel.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

OMG!!! Now I see we really need to file a class action. I own my 2011 qx56 at 66,000 started to peeling like the rest of you. Wife's dream car turn to nightmare. Infintiy consumer affairs is a joke, did not do squat but made me waste my time going to Warren Henry for crap..to tell me they do not cover paint. Joke all these vehicles with these price tags..I am researching attorneys that will pick up this lawsuit ..will keep posting if anyone wants to join..😡😡😡 If anyone wants to join me in a picketing in front of Warren Henry or South Motors Infiniti you can msg me and we will set a date.

I purchased the car new along with an extended warranty. At about 3 1/2 years old we noticed paint peeling. We were told from an auto painter that it was a defect in the manufacturers paint. So we call Infiniti corporate along with dealing with local dealerships and are told its out of warranty and they won't fix. We were at 61,000 miles and not even 4 years old yet. I've contacted Infiniti consumer affairs they are rude and decline any assistance putting the burden on local dealerships which won't fix the problem. Almost 2 years later paint is peeling all over roof of car and Infiniti still refuses to fix it or acknowledge the problem even though its posted on several websites and a news outlet went after Nissan for the same problem years ago. Would just like Infiniti to stand by its product and consumers who invested 70+ thousand dollars to purchase their supposed luxury vehicle. We've also had to have timing belt changed at 70,000 miles. left and right manifold replaced.
