Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2004 Infiniti QX56

Poor braking with my Qx56 sometimes I have to slam them just to get them to work. Constant vibration even with new rotors and pads. This is seriously a horrible safety issue.

The contact owns a 2004 Infiniti q-x56. The vehicle was having a routine oil change when the dealer informed him that the front brake pads were defective. The brake pads were replaced at that time. While driving home from the dealer at unknown speeds, the brakes did not feel normal and took the vehicle back to the dealer. The dealer advised that the brakes were normal and would feel uncomfortable until they were broken in. The next day while driving at 55 mph and applying the brakes, the brakes would not engage and the contact crashed into a guard rail. The contact suffered injuries to his right foot. The vehicle was destroyed. The contact was transported to the hospital and one third of his foot was amputated due to the injury sustained in the crash. A police report was available. The manufacturer sent an investigator to further assess the failure in the vehicle but was ruled as inconclusive due to the extensive damage to the vehicle. The manufacturer advised the contact to address the failure with his insurance company. The failure mileage was 100,000.

I leased a new Infiniti Qx56. The brakes failed at 2500 miles and pads and rotors had to be replaced. My car is being serviced again today for the same reason. The steering wheel shakes uncontrollable when the brakes and rotors wear. I have been driving for over 20 years and have never had brakes fail every 2500 miles!.

While applying the brake pedal vehicle failed to stop completely. However, consumer was able to stop the vehicle because the abs system kicked in. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the brake pads and computer system needed to be replaced, and replaced them. However, the problem recurred.
