Update. I still love the car - Not sure how much longer I will say this .. Now at about 6000 miles on my 08 .. Along with all the problems below here is what I need to add.
- Went to a conference about 30 miles away from my house. Went in was there 3 hours , came out car battery dead as a doornail , clicking sound only with no cranking . Had a set of cables and knew a few people that tried to give me a jump, battery would not hold a charge at all !! Had the dealer tow it ( about 50 miles ) at thier expense.
They checked the electrical sys, battery was replaced. They said it shorted out internally. So far working good.
- Transmission - If i let the car sit for 2 or 3 days and go to drive it ,,, when I put in in drive it takes about 12 - 15 seconds WHILE IN DRIVE before it goes into gear. Brought this up to dealer twice " Could not duplicate the problem " and they said it is normal , not sure where they get thier info , but never had this happen with any other car.
I do like the car , but there are some major flaws. The main service writer even told me that they had switched the manufacturing line from USA to Japan because the USA line seems to have so many problems .. I just do not understand why we can not make things as good or better than overseas. Not sure if this is true or false ???
- DVD player still rattling LIKE CRAZY - New roof liner coming in next week - 5th time in for this problem .. I will soon tell them to rip the darn thing out and replace it at thier cost with headrest screens.

Tell them to check the fuel sending unit .. I am sure that is it . I was told quite common in these .. Mine has been in the shop 5 times now. Just under 5k miles on it ..
1) Fuel / check engine light / said it was gas cap . 2) Fuel Sending Unit replaced 3) Dvd player Major rattle and Squeaking fixed 4) Dvd player still making a hell of a lot of noise , tried to fix again 5) Both running board plastic covers warping and need to be replaced.
Love this truck , but my major complaints are 1) The handling is rough , all over the place . 2) DVD player rattles a lot and is unwatchable due to it shaking so much ..
Talked to the service guy at the dealer , he said the DVD player is a major design flaw in the QX .. They did not have the roof liner support it enough ..
