Steering and airbag system complaints dominate what owners report for the 2010 QX56. On the steering side, owners describe handling concerns and steering-related failures, though the specific symptoms vary across reports. The airbag complaints center on warning lights illuminating without any prior collision, owners frequently report the airbag light coming on and staying on under normal driving or parked conditions, with no impact event to explain it. Several owners also describe the passenger seat sensor failing, which they say leaves the front passenger position without airbag functionality. A few reports mention the airbag warning light appearing alongside the seatbelt warning light simultaneously, and at least one owner notes the horn stopped working at the same time the airbag light came on, suggesting a broader electrical or restraint system module issue in those cases.
