Well, add me to the list (and I believe it's becomming a long one) of Infiniti Qx56 owners who are experiencing major front brake rotor issues (shuddering under braking). I've also had my navigation system drive and disc replace and the new one doesn't have anywhere near the street detail the original one did. I'm also having the false backup sensor warning tones happen as well.

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!.

The brakes do not to operate when they are applied at different speeds. Taken for repair for brakes and rotors for a total of 3 times, but the problem still occurs.

Failure or brake rotors on brand new infinity Qx56 @ 2000 miles. Found out on internet that this is a common nationwide problem with all new Nissan armada's and infinity Qx56's. Dealer wants to resurface defective rotors. I do not think the veh. Is safe to drive.

2004 Infiniti Qx56 developed the following problems: braking defect, and the driver's window would not roll up. ** answer required*** the steering wheel would shake vigorously when the brakes were applied. The rotors had warped for the third time.

I purchased an Infiniti Qx56 in may 2004 had brakes problems after only 3,000 miles brought vehicle to dealer in August 2004 they replaced the rotors and calipers. Had the same problem again in December 2004 at 6,700 miles, dealer again replaced rotors. Again in may 2005 at 10,321 miles brought the vehicle back to the dealer they again replaced the rotors and break pads, I was told that there was a defect with these vehicles braking system but that they were going to update the rotors and that will correct this problem for good. In may 2005 brought the vehicle back for the installation of the updated rotors but now at 19,000 miles, I'm still having brake problems the steering wheel shakes when applying the brakes or when driving over rough pavement. Called dealer today to file complaint. I would like to know if the lemon law applies under these circumstances.

The front brakes on my 2004 infiti Qx56 began squeaking and shuddering in mid July 2004 at appoximately 5000 miles. The brake repair parts were not available until September 24, 2004. At this writing 09/29/04, the vehicle remains at the dealer awaiting a replacement front passenger seat adjustment assembly that took two months to arrive. It turns out the wrong part was ordered requiring a reorder of the part. My vehicle has been promised to me by 09/30/04!.

Infiniti Qx56 has brake system design flaw. Front brakes need replacement on average every 4-6000 miles. Brake rotors are too small which causes rotor warpage. As a result, the steering wheel shutters back and forth when brakes are applied. There is no fix for this from Nissan. This is brake design flaw also effects similar platforms such as the armada and the titan. There also is a design flaw in the front end which causes the steering wheel to shake violently when going over bumps at speeds in excess of 45 mph. Hitting certain bumps in the road can cause the front end to go into resonance, thus shaking the steering wheel enough to loose control of vehicle.

While driving at various speeds steering wheel shook real hard while applying the brakes. Took vehicle to dealer for service, and dealer determined it was determined tha tit was warped brake rotors.
