WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS BREAK LIGHT COMES ON, AND THE BRAKES VIBRATE. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TECHNICIANS COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I THEN SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKES WORKED PROPERLY. THE SAME ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TWICE, ONCE AT LAX, AND THE MOST RECENT BEING TODAY 6/11/2019.
WHILE DRIVING THE SUV ON THE HIGHWAY I WENT TO BRAKE AND IT ACTED AS IF THE ABS BRA KING SYSTEM ENGAGED. THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN THE BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT AND THE BRAKES ACTED AS NORMAL AFTER THAT.
THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON, THE BRAKE PEDAL WEAKENS AND BRAKE SYSTEM MAKES A RATTLING NOISE WHEN THE PEDAL IS PRESSED. IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP THE CAR.
WHILE DRIVING BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON (NOT ABS LIGHT), AND WHEN PUSH THE BRAKES IS HARD TO STOP AND HAS A RATTLE NOISE ON BRAKES, IF YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURNED BACK ON EVERYTHING GOES TO NORMAL, I KNOW THAT THIS PROBLEM IS ON NISSAN ARMADA WICH IT HAS A RECALL BUT NOT ON THE INFINITI, THE RECALL IS DELTA STROKE SENSOR WITH CODE C1179
THE POWER BRAKES SEEM TO GO OUT DURING DRIVING. THEY CHUG THEN REQUIRE EXTREME FORCE PRESSURE ON PEDAL TO STOP. SHUTTING DOWN THE CAR AND THEN WAITING AND TURING IT BACK ON SEEMS TO RESTART IT.
WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW FOR A TURN. MY BRAKES MAKE A LOUD GRINDING SOUND AND WERE NOT PROPERLY WORKING. THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE BRAKES WORKED PROPERLY AGAIN. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER STORIES OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHERS. WHY ISN'T INFINITI DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE.
I'M HAVING BRAKE PROBLEMS WITH MY 2007 QX56. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A BRAKE PROBLEM TWICE IN 2 WEEKS. AT RANDOM TIMES, IT IS DIFFICULT TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. IT ACTED LIKE THE ABS WAS TRYING TO ENGAGE. IT WAS LIKE I WAS SLIPPING ON SOMETHING WHEN I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES. THERE IS A SLIGHT METAL RATTLE NOISE WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN WHILE TRYING TO COME TO A STOP. THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON. THERE IS NO SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL OR VEHICLE. NO FLUID LEAKED OR ANYTHING I COULD SEE. THE BRAKE FLUID BUT IT WAS NOT REAL LOW ABOVE THE MIN MARK BUT BELOW THE MAX MARK. AFTER THE BRAKE PROBLEM OCCURS, A RESTART OF THE VEHICLE WILL MAKE THE BRAKE LIGHT GO AWAY AND THE TRUCK DRIVES FINE. I HAVE BEEN GOOGLE THEIR WERE A LOT OF COMPLAINT ABOUT NISSAN ARMADA, NISSAN TITAN AND INFINITI QX56 VEHICLES HAVE DANGEROUS BRAKE PROBLEMS SAME AS MY ISSUED. BUT NO RECALL WERE MAKE.
AS I WAS DRIVING MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND AS I TRIED TO HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL I NOTICED A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND THE BRAKE GOING TO THE FLOOR AND CAR NOT STOPPING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAVE HAPPENED THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BECAUSE I WILL DEFINITELY TAKE IT TO FOX 5... *TR
THE BRAKES OF MY 2007 INFINITI QX56 FAILED WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY WHOLE FAMILY, INCLUDING TWO KIDS, ON THE RAMP UP TO HIGHWAY. I STEPPED ON BRAKES TO SLIGHTLY SLOW DOWN FOR ENTERING THE FREE WAY AFTER ANOTHER CAR, AND ALL FOUR WHEELS STARTED TO HAVE LOUD GRINDING SOUNDS, AND BRAKES DIDN'T TAKE ACTION, NO MATTER HOW HARD I STEP ON IT. I HAVE TO MAKE A SHARP CURVE OUT TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND SLIDE MY CAR OUT TO ACCESS ROAD. AFTER FINALLY SLOWING DOWN THE CAR AND PULLED OVER TO A PARKING LOT. I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH IS ON. FORTUNATELY I DIDN'T HAVE A COLLISION WHEN DOING THE CURVING, SLOWING DOWN AND DRIVING, WITH A USELESS BRAKE. AND ALTHOUGH MY FAMILIES WERE SCARED TO DEATH, THEY WERE NOT HURT. FINALLY, I MANAGED TO DRIVE HOME FROM LOCAL ROAD, UNDER 20MPH WITH EMERGENCY FLASHING ON. AND ONE DAY LATER I MANAGED TO DRIVE THE QX56 TO SEWELL INFINITI DEALER AT DALLAS. AND AFTER INSPECTION, THEY TOLD ME THE BRAKE BOOSTER SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE, AND THE REPAIR COST WOULD BE ~ $1,400. *TR
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
