SERVICE BRAKES
WAS TRAVELING AT APPROX 40MPH IN DRY CONDITIONS ON A GOOD ROAD SURFACE AND APPROACHING TRAFFIC LIGHTS AT AN INTERSECTION. APPLIED THE FOOT BRAKE LIGHTLY AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL WAS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED. GROANING & GRINDING NOISES EMANATED FROM FRONT END AND COULD BE FELT THROUGH THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT WAS AS IF THE ABS HAD ENGAGED EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS BRAKING GENTLY ON A GOOD, DRY ROAD SURFACE. GLANCING AT THE DASHBOARD I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. RUNNING OUT OF STOPPING DISTANCE, I TRIED PUMPING THE BRAKES AND NOTICED A "RAPID POPPING" NOISE AS THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS TRAVELING BACK UP. BRAKE EFFICIENCY WAS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED BUT THE VEHICLE DID COME TO A STOP ALBEIT IN AN UNCONTROLLED AND DANGEROUS MANNER. AFTER TRAFFIC LIGHTS CHANGED, I PULLED OVER THE INTERSECTION TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF ROAD AND THE SAME PROBLEM RE-OCCURRED. THE PROBLEM VANISHED AFTER SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE AND DESPITE TRYING FOR SEVERAL HOURS THE FOLLOWING DAY ON AN EMPTY ROAD; I COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. INFINITI DEALER INVESTIGATED BUT FOUND NO DTC CODE AND STATED A KNOWN SOFTWARE PROBLEM WAS NOT THE CAUSE (VERSION WAS ALREADY UP-TO-DATE). DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. FOLLOWING THAT FIRST INCIDENT, THE PROBLEM RANDOMLY RE-OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 1 TIME EVERY 3 MONTHS - EACH TIME A STOP / RESTART OF THE ENGINE WOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. TESTING BRAKE FUNCTION DURING SUBSEQUENT OCCURRENCES OF THE PROBLEM REVEALED THAT EMERGENCY BRAKE FUNCTION WAS SERIOUSLY DEGRADED AND OVERALL STOPPING DISTANCE INCREASED BY MORE THAN DOUBLE. IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE FREQUENCY OF THE PROBLEM HAS INCREASED TO THE POINT IT NOW OCCURS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. THE PROBLEM APPEARS MORE FREQUENTLY DURING THE HOT / SUMMER MONTHS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON JULY 1, 2012 I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 156 IN WINSTON-SALEM N.C. WHEN MY AIR CONDITION, TURN SIGNAL, SPEEDOMETER STOP WORKING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAN ON. WE WERE ON VACATION DRIVING THROUGH NORTH CAROLINA FROM GEORGIA. IT WAS SUNDAY AND WE DECIDED TO STAY OVERNIGHT TO HAVE THE QX56 INFINITY CHECKED OUT THE NEXT DAY FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE NEXT MOURNING ON OUR WAY TO THE INFINITY DEALERSHIP, THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE CAN ON AND LOCKED UP THE TRANSMISSION AND STOPPED MOVING. WE WERE ON HIGHWAY 156 DOWNTOWN WINSTON-SALEM ON MONDAY MOURNING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC STOPPED. I MANAGE TO EASY IT OFF THE ROAD AND CALLED AAA TO TOW ME TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO OTHER DEALERSHIPS IN JONESBORO GA. AND THEN IN HUNTSVILLE AL BEFORE MY TRIP BECAUSE OF THE SERVICE LIGHT COMING ON. MY FAMILY AND I WAS VERY LUCKY WE WERE NOT KILLED. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE GOT SOME VERY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEMS THAT MUST BE CHECK OUT BEFORE ANYTHING MAJOR HAPPEN THAT MAY HURT OR KILL SOMEONE. THIS 2004 QX56 INFINITY HAVE BEEN RECALLED MANY TIMES FOR REPAIRS SINCE I PURCHASE IT IN 2004. BECAUSE OF PASS EXPERIENCES WITH THIS VEHICLE, I FEEL THERE MAY BE MORE SERIOUS DEFECTS IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI QX56. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS OR STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THERE WAS A GRINDING SOUND. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO BRAKE AND HAD TO DEPRESS THE BREAK PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD. THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL AND JERK BEFORE FINALLY STOPPING. THE CONTACT STATED IN ORDER TO RESOLVE THE FAILURE HE WOULD CHANGE THE GEAR TO PARK, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOWEVER DEALER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE DIAGNOSTIC BECAUSE FAILURE IS NOT PRESENT AT MOMENT. THE FAILURE OCCURS RANDOMLY AND CONSISTENTLY. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 151,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES ON MY 2008 INFINITI QX56 FAILED AT AN INTERSECTION TODAY, CAUSING ME TO GO THROUGH A STOP SIGN AT AN INTERSECTION. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND A SPORADIC GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD AND FELT IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE VEHICLE COASTED TO A STOP. I PUMPED THE BRAKES, BUT HAD NO BRAKE PRESSURE. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THEN TURNED IT OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED, AND THE BRAKES APPEARED TO BE WORKING AGAIN. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY INFINITI DEALER SINCE THIS IS MY PRIMARY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION AND I HAVE 3 YOUNG CHILDREN. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE FAULT CODE INDICATED MY VEHICLE HAD A FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER, WHICH WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR APPROX. $1000 (PARTS AND LABOR). THEY INFORMED ME THAT ALTHOUGH THEY HAD SEEN MULTIPLE QX56'S WITH THIS PROBLEM COME INTO THEIR DEALERSHIP, NISSAN DID NOT HAVE A RECALL IN PLACE. I FIND THIS TO BE UNACCEPTABLE. I AM LUCKY NONE OF MY 3 CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME AT THE TIME, AND THAT NO ACCIDENT RESULTED FROM MY BRAKE FAILURE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
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. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED IN DECEMBER 2009. STARTED NOTICING BRAKE SQUEALING & GRINDING, FRONT & REAR BRAKES HAD TO BE REPLACED IN FEBRUARY 2012. AFTER BRAKES WERE REPLACED THERE WAS AN INCIDENT BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY WHILE BRAKING, HAD ONLY 20% BRAKES WITH LOUD GRINDING NOISE, BUT NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. DECIDED TO REPLACE ROTORS AFTER THAT INCIDENT IN MARCH 2012. ON APRIL 9TH WHILE LEAVING A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT GOING APPROX.15MPH, EMERGENCY BRAKE LIKE CAME ON, 95% OF BRAKES WERE LOST, LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE. CAR PUT INTO PARK & TURNED OFF. WHEN TRUCK WAS TURNED BACK ON & BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED WHILE IN PARK POSITION, BRAKES SEEMED NORMAL AGAIN. PUT TRUCK INTO DRIVE & SECONDS LATER THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT CAME BACK ON & 95% OF BRAKING SYSTEM WAS LOST AGAIN WITH LOUD GRINDING NOISE. COASTED VEHICLE HOME (LESS THAN 1/4 MILE). HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO INFINITI DEALER WHO IS RECOMMENDING REPLACING THE BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM AT A COST OF $1,100. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE, REPLACING THE BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM SOUNDS LIKE A TEMPORARY FIX. WITH A FAMILY OF 7, THIS IS OUR MAIN FAMILY VEHICLE & KNOWING THIS COULD REOCCUR AT ANY MOMENT EVEN AFTER THE BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM IS REPLACED IS VERY UNSETTLING. THE INFINITI DEALER IS CLAIMING THEY NEVER HEARD OF ANOTHER ISSUE LIKE THIS & THEY REPLACED 3 BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEMS IN 4 YEARS. I FIND THIS EXTREMELY HARD TO BELIEVE, AS I WAS ABLE TO PRINT OVER 30 PAGES OF REPORTED INCIDENTS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. WE MEET WITH THE DEALER TOMORROW TO DECIDE IF WE WANT TO PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED. IF WE KNEW THIS WOULD GUARANTEE THE ISSUE WOULD BE RESOLVED & NOT AT ANY MOMENT WE WOULD LOSE OUR BRAKES, IT WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE. THIS IS BEYOND FRUSTRATING & SCARY. INFINITI SHOULD MAKE THIS AN IMMEDIATE RECALL TO PREVENT FURTHER TRAGEDY & STOP TELLING CUSTOMERS THIS IS THE FIRST TIME HEARING OF THIS ISSUE! *TR

TODAY, WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2004 INFINITI QX56 WITH 106,134 MILES, SHE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE, ALONG WITH THE "BRAKE" DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT. IT WAS DESCRIBED TO ME AS THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE PEDAL SHAKING, A LOUD NOISE FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INFINITI QX56 / NISSAN ARMADA FORUM, THE INTERNET, AND WWW.MYCARSTATS.COM SITE TO WHICH I'M A SUBSCRIBER. IT'S RIDICULOUS THAT WITH THE NUMBER OF STATED OCCURRENCES OF THIS FAILURE ON THESE VEHICLES THAT A FORMAL RECALL HAS NOT BEEN MANDATED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. AS WITH MOST OF THE OTHER REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING, TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE ELIMINATED THE "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT AND THE NORMAL PEDAL FEEL RETURNED TO OUR VEHICLE. THERE IS AT LEAST ONE REPORT OF THIS FAILURE RESULTING IN A SEVERE, ALMOST FATAL, ACCIDENT AND I'M SURE IF ACTUALLY INVESTIGATED THAT THERE ARE PROBABLY MORE. NISSAN - INFINITI - NHTSA: DO SOMETHING FORMAL ABOUT THIS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE, THEIR WIFE, AND OR CHILDREN ARE HURT OR KILLED! *TR

WHILE DRIVING, AND WITHOUT WARNING, ABS BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND BRAKES HAVE SEVERE VIBRATIONS AND DO NOT STOP VEHICLE NORMALLY. PROBLEM GOES AWAY WITH RESTART BUT COMES BACK PERIODICALLY( 2-3 TIMES PER MONTH). DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO ADDRESS IT BECAUSE IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX. COST ESTIMATE IS $2000. THIS PROBLEM IS DOCUMENTED ON NUMEROUS WEBSITES AND IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN DEATH IF NOT ADDRESSED. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, NOTIFIED INFINITI WHO REFUSED TO FIX PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAD NOT DONE ALL MY SCHEDULED SERVICES AT THE DEALERSHIP - IN OTHER WORDS, BECAUSE I WASN'T A GOOD ENOUGH CUSTOMER THEY WERE UNWILLING TO REPAIR DANGEROUS BRAKING ISSUE. *TR

THIS 95% TOTAL BREAK FAILURE HAS HAPPENED 2 SEPARATE TIMES 8/2010 AND 3/2011; AND WHILE NO ACCIDENT, THERE COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN ONE HAD I BEEN TRAVELING AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED, OR IF THERE HAD BEEN OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME. APPLIED BREAK, IMMEDIATELY BRAKE PEDAL SUNK TO THE FLOOR, BREAK LIGHT ON DASH CAME ON, FRONT BREAKS BEGAN MAKING HARSH GRINDING SOUNDS (AS WHEN SLIP CONTROL ENACTS); HAD THERE BEEN CARS IN FRONT OF ME I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP W/OUT HITTING THEM. EVEN WITH FOOT TO FLOOR VEHICLE DID NOT STOP, DOWN SHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR, AND FINALLY VEHICLE SLOWED AND WAS ABLE TO STOP. PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF CAR; AFTER TURNING CAR BACK ON BRAKE LIGHT ON DASH HAD GONE AWAY AND BRAKES WERE ACTING NORMAL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND SOMEONE MAY DIE FROM THIS. THE FRONT DISCS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE NO GOOD EVEN AFTER INFINITI/NISSAN HAS DONE THEIR SO CALLED REPAIR AND CONTINUE TO PREMATURELY WARP.A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT NEEDS TO BE FORMED TO DEAL RESOLVE THIS MATTER INDEFINITELY. DEALER SUBSEQUENTLY REPROGRAMED VDC CONTROL.

MULTIPLE INCIDENTS (3) OF BRAKING ISSUES WHERE VEHICLE LOSES BRAKING ABILITY HOWEVER, IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE ABS BRAKES ARE ENGAGING. ALL THREE TIMES THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AT OR ABOUT 40 MPH OR LESS AND DECELERATING SO I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COME TO A SAFE STOP. HOWEVER, I DO HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL NEARLY TO THE FLOOR AND THE "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT ALSO COMES ON. . WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, IT RESETS AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER ISSUES IMMEDIATELY. THE THIRD TIME (TODAY) 12/12/11, I TOOK THE TRUCK TO DEALER AND THEY, AT FIRST, SAID THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THEN UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THEY CLAIM IT'S A SENSOR THAT WILL COST $1700 TO REPLACE. DISCUSSION THREADS I HAVE READ ONLINE (FROM AS FAR BACK AS 2004 UNTIL THE PRESENT) HAVE SHOWN THIS TO BE A CONTINUING PROBLEM ON NISSAN ARMADA'S (THE PARENT COMPANY OF INFINITI) AND THE QX56'S FROM MODELS 2004 TO THE PRESENT AND NISSAN CONTINUES TO IGNORE THE PROBLEM. SOME HAVE EVEN HAD COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE AND ACCIDENTS. I WILL TAKE MY RESEARCH TO THE DEALER TOMORROW AND FIGHT TO HAVE MY PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF PRO BONO OR I MAY CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD $1700 WHICH HOPEFULLY WILL NOT LEAD TO A WORSE PROBLEM DOWN THE ROAD. THIS NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. *TR
