Brake Disc Pads Problems of Infiniti QX56

Brakes suddenly makes grinding sound when depressed that also sounds like a large spring is about to snap. There is a loss of braking power and the brake pedal gets mushy. This has occurred in heavy stop and go traffic numerous times. If the vehicle is turned off and restarted the problem immediately disappears. The vehicle has new rotors/disc and new pads installed by the dealer. I am in fear for my life because I no longer trust that I will be able to stop when depressing the brakes. I have contacted the dealer and they said I have to bring it in when the problem is occurring.

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.

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.
