general problems of the 2008 Infiniti QX56

There are times when driving under 50 mph brake light comes on and the brakes have goes out which cause me to do an emergency pullover turn off the truck for a few minutes and the brakes reset. This is very concerning for me. This has happened on a few occasions.

I hear I ping sound like a spring, the break light comes on and I am unable to stop the vehicle as normal. Appears the vehicle is attempting to slow down but does not come to stop as it normally should. Once I turn the vehicle off then back on it's just fine until it randomly occurs again when applying the breaks and/or when the vehicle is idle and the break light comes on. This issue only resolved itself when the vehicle is turned off then back on. It is extremely alarming and could cause an accident.

Occasionally brake light turns on in my dashboard then my braking system loses hydraulic pressure and I have troubling braking till I turn car off then resets and goes back to normal but while brake light us on is very troubling and concerning? this has happened on many occasions since purchasing the car if I remember in 2018.

Tl the contact owns a 2008 infinti Qx56. While driving various speeds, the abs warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle decelerated and stalled. When the vehicle was restarted, the vehicle was able to operate. The vehicle was taken to priority Infiniti of greenbrier (1812 greenbrier pkwy, chesapeake, va 23320) to be diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 132,000. The VIN was not provided.

I applied brakes with plenty of lead time but the Qx56 failed to brake causing me to rear end another SUV; I did minimal damage to the other car but damaged my radiator/front-bumper/hood. I had a similar abs issue about a week before as described by many for the 2004-2006 Nissan/infinity recall but I didn't research that recall until this current accident. My airbags did not go off. On initially breaking it sounded like the abs was going to kick in but the car kept moving forward with none of the normal pulsing action that would normally be felt with abs and no reduction in speed as the brake pedal was fully depressed.

During the first two occurrences, while attempting to engage the break pedal to slow down, the brakes appeared to "open up" causing the vehicle to thrust forward in a sliding motion instead of coming to a halt. While repeatedly pumping the brake pedal, the braking system appeared extremely "loose" and the brakes would appear to engage and quickly disengage. The span of breaking for each occurrence lasted about 200-300 feet before the vehicle would eventually come to a complete stop. Following both occurrences, the vehicle was turned off and the brakes appeared to work properly after restarting the vehicle. During the third occurrence, the exact incidence described above occurred when trying to bring the vehicle to a complete stop; however, the span of breaking lasted about 400 feet. While constantly pumping the brake pedal to gain control of the vehicle, the brakes went from being extremely "loose" and going to the floor to becoming extremely hard and not engaging at all. The brake pedal appeared to have locked and no pressure could be applied to the pedal. Once the pedal locked, the vehicle came to a gradually slow stall and eventually stopped without the ability of applying the brakes. As with the previous two occurrences, the braking system would appear to operate properly after restarting the vehicle.

I was driving down the road when my brakes started to skip. I stop my vehicle and put the vehicle in park and then put it back in drive then I was able to drive again as normal. It happen three more times after that. It's very dangerous for this kind of issue to occur in travel while driving at any rate of speed. I need this issue looked at by the dealer ship at their expense.
