general problems of the 2013 Infiniti QX56

The brake pedal seems spongy and while braking at slower speeds the seat belt pulls back violently pinning the driver back against the seat. Rear brakes have been replaced and brake system fluid check still no different.

Driving down highway 421 in wilkesboro, nc on a 45 mph section of the highway, merged over into the turning lane to turn left across two lanes of traffic. Waited for a break in traffic, upon a break in traffic tried to accelerate to cross traffic, as vehicle started to accelerate it stalled in middle of road. Wife and children in car started screaming. Traffic nice enough not to run into us. Had car towed to local automotive repair shop. Found that this is a common problem for the 5. 6 litter Nissan/ Infiniti engine. One of the timing gears for the left bank stopped rotating some how. This side of the engine timing system also powers the fuel pump so that you cannot even limp across the road on half the engine. It just stops right where you are. You have no steering no breaking and no propulsion. This is a dangerous situation and the manufacture should be held responsible for the design and lack of quality of the engine.
