Service Brakes Problems of Infiniti QX56 - part 2

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.

While attempting to slow my vehicle , with 8 passengers, the brakes started to act irratically. There was no way to slow the vehicle in a controlled manner. Either the braking was too hard or too soft almost leading to a collision. I took my vehicle to the Infiniti dealer that I purchased it from new. They replaced the brake booster at a cost of over $900 dollars. This was in October of 2012. 10, 000 miles later in may of 2014, the exact same braking issue again happened with my vehicle fully loaded with passengers. I took it to the local Nissan dealership and they are saying that the same parts need to be replaced now at a cost of over $1400 . This is a major safety issue and is in no way related to normal maintenance.

The contact stated that once the vehicle came to a complete stop, the brakes released and the vehicle functioned properly. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for inspection but they were not able to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 7,200.

Driving with my two young children about 35 mph when I depressed the brakes the car shuttered badly on the front end and the peddle went all the way to the floor and the vehicle barely slowed down. Luckily there was no-one in front of me or I would have crashed. Problem continued until the vehicle was turned off and re-started. Extremely dangerous!!! many other similar accounts and it doesn't sound like there is a difinitive resolution to the problem even after spending thousands at the dealerships.

The standard Qx56 comes with more than adequate room for any size shoe on the accelerator pedal. Less than 10% of the qx models are ordered with the technology package. This package includes a design feature that causes the gas pedal to push back against the operators foot if the radar senses that the vehicle is closing distance too quickly on the vehicle ahead. The mechanical/electrical device that performs this action is mounted to the firewall at the top of the accelerator pedal. I am 6'3" tall and have a size 12 shoe. The tip of my shoe keeps getting caught under this mechanical device and on multiple occasions in the first week of ownership it has caused a momentary delay in quickly moving from the accelerator to the brake pedal. The hang up of the tip of my shoe is exaggerated greatly by dress shoes with a firmer tip of the sole of the shoe. Again, this device is only present on qx models with the technology package. This tech package device also gets in the way as you go to push on the gas pedal. The only way to avoid this problem is to always remember to place your right heel at least 2" away from the base of the gas pedal and push it only with your toes. Moving your heel away from the bottom of the pedal results in the tip of your shoe touching the pedal lower and just brushing the underside of the tech package device. I have contacted consumer support at Infiniti USA and they have told me that they have had complaints but "that's just the way it is for people with bigger feet". I guess they don't have size 12 in japan. This is a hazard when the tip of my right shoe gets caught and prevents me from moving quickly to the brake.

I have Infiniti Qx56 2005, break dosn't work while driving, same issue more than 10 times since I purchased new car, Infiniti consumer affairs trying to conceal this issue.

Since I purchased my Qx56 2006, it has happen several times, I think approximately 40 times, I got scared at the beginning and freaked out, all my family was with me and we didn't know what to do, all I did was turn the car off and wait for a minute then I did turn the car on and the problem was gone, I'm not the only person that has this happen and hope that you guys do something about it the only big problem I think is that I'm afraid that if this happen again and I will not be able to stop my car and will cause death by hitting somebody, I had a small incident but there was no big damage and the car in front of me heard the noise but we didn't fill a report if you have any questions, you have my VIN # and you can find me I hope that Nissan does something about this.

While traveling on the freeway at about 60 mph, traffic in front of me began to slow. When I applied the brakes, the break pedal almost went to the floor and made a banging or thumping noise. It felt like the abs went off and I almost ran into the back of the car in front of me. This has occurred many times since I have owned this vehicle and when I take it to the dealership they cannot find anything wrong and suggest to start replacing parts at the cost of a few thousand dollars. The most recent incident was yesterday while traveling on the freeway. Again I had to stop suddenly as there was debris in the roadway and the brake pedal went to the floor.

Brakes shutter and stop working on 2006 Infiniti Qx56. Determined that the abs needed a firmware update. Went to dealership, paid $100. 00 for update and problem is still occurring. This is my wife's vehicle and she travels with my 2 year old daughter. There are hundreds if not thousands of similar complaints on Nissan user forum boards.

Car was being driven at approximately 40 mph when the brakes vibrated significantly and failed to engage at an intersection nearly causing an accident. An Infiniti dealer indicated that the brake booster had malfunctioned.

I have Infiniti Qx56 2005, I had brake system complaint couple of times(back 2006~2007)since, dealer take care my car_ I didn't have any technical issue until this month, but, April on this month I have 3 time experience my brake was not working I almost kill my 2 kids and wife. _just remind me back in 2006_ I had same problem. All I can do turn off the engine and restart_then it go back to normal. So, today I drop my car at the Infiniti tustin dealer talk to melissa at service dept. She saw same as my problem before I was surprised she said to me why not company recall this issue? now, dealer ask me to pay $1,000. 00 for change brake booster on my car. Which is they ready know problems. I want to Infiniti need to report this issue to public also, fully fix my car and it should be extended warranty same problem in future.

Periodically, on the order of once every month or two months, the antilock brakes become erratic. The pedal goes soft and the brakes engage extremely violently. When it happened the first time I pulled over to the side of the road and called my Infiniti dealer. I kept the engine running while I explained what happened and was told to turn off the engine, wait about ten seconds and then restart the SUV. The brakes worked normally after that. I was told the "computer had to be re-booted". This continues to happen on and off about every month or two. Never was given a satisfactory explanation as to why this occurs. When it happens if there is no traffic around, I put the car into neutral, turn off the key, then restart the car and the problem resolves. If I am in traffic I slow down gingerly, then pull off to the side of the road and turn off the key and restart the engine. This resolves the problem until the next time.

The contact owns an 2010 Infiniti Qx56. The contact was driving approximately between 30-40 mph. When pressure was applied to the brake pedal there was a delay response. The contact required an increase in stopping distance during braking. The failure was continuous whenever the vehicle was in operation. The vehicle is the process of being taken to authorized dealer for inspection. The failure mileage was 15.

Major coolant issue. Replaced 4 radiators, 1 water pump. All upper and lower hoses. Dealer has had SUV in more than 9 times this year with same issue. While driving coolant smell is in vents. Up the hood and its splashed all over the manifold. Also abs issue. Braking mech makes metal to metal sound and if u cut off car and turn back on. . It resumes as normal.

I have a 2004 Qx56 and have been having brake problems since I first got it. The brakes were replaced under an initial recall in 2005, but a new problem began in 2006 and has been occurring since. Initially, only about once every 2 months, the brakes will sporadically pulsate and the car will come to a quick halt. I would just restart the car and it was fine. The dealership said it was a firmware problem, and "flashed" the firmware. It still kept happening, they flashed the firmware over and over again, and then just said there was nothing more that could be done. Now that the truck is out of warranty, the dealership says it is being caused by a bad brake booster, and will cost $1,100 to fix. But this has been happening since long before it was out of warranty, and now it is happening much more often, almost every day. Review of different Infiniti forums shows many Qx56's, Nissan armadas, and Nissan titans are experiencing this problem. Nissan has put out a service bulletin acknowledging the problem, but their solution does not solve the problem. This should really be investigated further and a recall issued for whatever the cause of the problem is.

Same issue as all other posting. . Loss of brakes, shudder, lights go off. I had it towed in. As it was under warranty, they reprogrammed and redid all brakes. . . Now, same problem 9 months ago. . I cleared everything and it recurred again. . This is lifethreatening. . . I'm amazed no action has been taken with all these posts (and many others on other compliant boards). Will someone have to get killed and then officially start a class-action?.

The contact owns a 2004 Infiniti Qx56. The contact was driving approximately 60 mph when he depressed the brakes and lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was advised that the rotors were severely warped. The dealer made five separate attempts to repair the failure but to no avail. The manufacture was informed of the failure who advised the contact that there were no recalls on the vehicle and offered no additional assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The current mileage was 46,200 and the failure mileage was 10,200.

While applying brakes, the steering column shakes. After servicing, the same problem continued to have the same problem after 3000 miles.

2004 Infiniti experienced shuddering in the brakes. The dvd player stopped working, the drivers seat memory was inoperative.
