SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
INTERMITTENTLY IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS MY INFINITI Q56'S BRAKES HAVE BEEN BECOMING SOFT AND GRINDING WHEN TRYING TO STOP. THE BRAKE LIGHT AND THE SLIP LIGHT ALSO COME ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS. WHEN I STOP THE VEHICLE AND TURN OFF THE MOTOR, REMOVE THE KEY AND THEN RESTART IT WILL RESET THE BRAKES AND THEY WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL. IN THE PAST WEEK THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERYTIME I DRIVE IT. IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED AND EVERYTHING IS GOOD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THEY SAID IMMEDIATELY THAT IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY MUST BE SEEING THIS PROBLEM ON A REGULAR BASIS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE TO TELL ME WHAT IT WAS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR Q56'S AND NISSAN ARMADAS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE COMPANY SHOULD BE RECALLING THE VEHICLES AND FIXING THEM. THIS ISN'T A MAINTENANCE ISSUE, ITS A COMPONENT FAILURE. *TT

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
IN MY 2005 INFINITI QX56 THE DOOR HANDLE GETS STUCK WHEN IT IS COLD (AROUND OR BELOW 15 DEGREES). THE DOOR SEEMS LIKE IT IS CLOSED BUT IT IS NOT AND DURING TUNS IT SWING OPENS. I HAD TO TIE IT WITH WHATEVER I HAD AVAILABLE TO THE SEAT TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE BACK HOME. SEARCHING ONLINE, I FOUND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH INFINITI AND NISSAN AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR IT AND THE DEALER CHARGES AROUND $300-$500 TO FIX THIS. WHICH IS VERY UNFAIR. I AM REQUESTING YOU TO PLEASE EXPOSE THIS ISSUE SO NISSAN FIXES THIS. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. AFTER AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE, THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE THROTTLE BODY MOTOR ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PART WAS INSTALLED. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STALLED TO A HALT AGAIN. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THE PART WAS DEFECTIVE AND HE WOULD BE CHARGED FOR THE LABOR TO INSTALL THE NEW PART. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE FUSE BOX COVER WAS MISSING AND WHEN THE FUSES BECAME WET, THEY BECAME CORRODED.

EQUIPMENT
THE A/C SWITCH THAT CONTROLS THE REAR FAN SPEED ON THE FRONT DASH DOES NOT WORK. THE INTERNAL PLASTIC HAS BROKE AND THE NOB JUST TURNS. THE ONLY WAY NOW TO USE THE REAR A/C IS TO STRETCH WAY BACK IN THE REAR AND TURN IT ON. I WENT TO TEST DRIVE A NEWER QX56 AND THAT NOB WAS ALSO BROKEN. I TEST DROVE ANOTHER ONE AND THE REAR AIR WAS CONTINUOUSLY RUNNING. I TOOK MY 2005 QX56 TO AN INFINITI DEALER AND THEY SAID THE ENTIRE PANEL HAS TO BE REPLACED AT $565.00 EVEN THOUGH ONLY ONE NOB IS BROKEN. PLEASE HELP. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
BRAKE PROBLEMS OCCURRING EVERY 50-60 MILES WHILE DRIVING. HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE ON THE BRAKES IS FIRST HEARD AND THEN THERE IS LOSS OF BRAKE CAPACITY. AS THIS HAPPENS, THE RED BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON THE DASH PANEL. THE ONLY WAY TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE BRAKES IS TO STEER THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON. ONCE THE CAR RESTARTS, ONLY THEN CAN THE BREAKS FULLY WORK. THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME THREE ACCIDENTS ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
BRAKES BECOME MUSHY DURING APPLICATION WITH A LOSE OF ABOUT 50-75% OF THEIR POWER. BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIGHT UP. CARS ANTILOCK BRAKES ARE ACTIVATED. CAR IS VERY DELAYED IN BRAKING EVEN AT SLOW SPEEDS. THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED AFTER THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, IS PLACED IN PARK, AND TURNED OFF THEN BACK ON. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ONLY ONCE; ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY MOVE INTO AN ADJACENT LANE TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE PROBLEM WAS THOUGHT TO BE A DELTA SENSOR AND BRAKE BOOSTER. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT POSITIVE THIS WAS THE CORRECT FIX, BUT THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FLASHED SEVERAL OTHER DELTA SENSORS IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE DELTA SENSOR WAS FOUND TO BE FAULTY ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. THE PART WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED AND REPLACED AT ANOTHER TIME. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
DT: AT APPROXIMATELY 2,000 MILES THERE WAS AN UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE. THIS PROBLEM GOT WORSE. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHO NOTED THE NEED FOR NEW ROTORS. THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED AT 2,000 MILES. ABOUT TWO MONTHS LATER, THE PROBLEM RETURNED AND AGAIN TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE SAFE TO DRIVE. THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED AND WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE THERE WAS A HORRIBLE SOUND AS IF THEY WERE GRINDING. THE RED BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH PANEL. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, 75% OF BRAKING CAPACITY WAS LOST. THE CONSUMER PULLED OVER, AND CALLED HUSBAND, LEAVING THE VEHICLE BEHIND FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR CORRECTIONS. THE DEALER FELT THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS NOT HEAVY DUTY ENOUGH FOR THIS MODEL. THE DEALER DID SOME ADDITIONAL WORK TO THE BRAKES. A MONTH LATER, THE PROBLEM RESURFACED. THE VEHICLE WAS DUE FOR MAINTENANCE, AND IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO SUSPECTED THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES. MALFUNCTIONED. THE DEALER CONSULTED INFINITI TO SPEAK TO AN ENGINEER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND FOR ADVICE. SOME CORRECTIONS WERE MADE. LATER, THE SAME SITUATION OCCURRED WITH THE GRINDING NOISE AND LOSS OF BRAKE CAPACITY AS WELL AS THE LIGHT . THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS
THE CAR STEERING WHEEL AND CAR SHAKE VIOLENTLY EVERY 2 TO 3 THOUSAND MILES, AT WHICH TIME THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE INFINITI DEALERSHIP REPLACES THE BRAKES AND RESURFACES/REPLACES THE ROTORS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED TO US AND THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THE STOPPING DISTANCE OF THIS VEHICLE INCREASES TWO FOLD BECAUSE OF THE SHAKING. AFTER READING POSTS BY OTHER OWNERS, I REALIZE THE PROBLEM WAS KNOWN AS EARLY AS DECEMBER 2004 WHEN WE PURCHASE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT DISCLOSE ANY KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS MY WIFES' AND TWO CHILDREN(2 YEAR AND 7 MONTH OLD) PRIMARY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. I AM WONDERING WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE REGARDING THIS MAJOR ISSUE WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN LARGELY IGNORED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM
INADEQUATE BRAKES ON 2005 QX56. MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN 2004 BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL TO DATE OR SENT LETTERS TO CUSTOMERS ABOUT THE ISSUE. BRAKES OVERHEAT AND PREMATURELY WEAR OUT AT 2000 TO 2500 MILES CAUSING A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND CONTROL ISSUES. INFINITI IS REPLACING BRAKES HOWEVER 2 TO 3 MONTHS PREDICITED WAIT FOR A REAL FIX. SERVICE ADVISORS ARE RELUCTANT BUT HAVE ADMITTED THE BRAKE DESIGN IS INADEQUATE FOR THIS VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS OVER 6,000 LBS AND HAS A TOWING CAPCITY OF 9000 LBS. ACCORDING TO THE MAUFACTURER. BRAKES ARE WEARING OUT WITHOUT ADDED STRESS OF TOWING. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I TOW A 5000 LB BOAT IN ARIZONA HEAT OF 100 DEGREES THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS? STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES VIOLENTLY WHEN BREAKS WEAR OUT. DEALER REPLACED BRAKES AT 3500 MILES AT FIRST OIL CHANGE. INFINITI OR DEALER NEVER MENTIONED THIS ISSUE DURING PURCHASE OF VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2004. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS VEHICLE STOPPING FOR THE PASSENGERS AND THOSE DRIVING IN THE PROXIMATY OF THIS VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT OF INFINITI SUGGESED THAT I CALL THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU OR FILE A LEMON LAW CASE FOR THE STATE OF ARIZONA. THEY SAID THE CAR HAS NOT HAD ENOUGH REPAIRS AT THIS TIME. I STATED THAT OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE ARE HAVING BRAKES REPLACED AT AN ALARMING RATE. THE EDMONDS AND YAHOO WEBSITES VERIFY THIS EXPERIENCE AND YET NO LETTERS HAVE BEEN SENT TO OWNERS OF THE QX56 MODEL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS IT RELATES TO BRAKES THAT WERE NOT DESIGNED APPRORIATELY FOR THE WEIGHT OF THIS VEHICLE, NOT TO MENTION THE TOWING CAPACITY THAT WOULD ADD MORE STRAIN ON THE ALREADY POOR BREAKING SYSTEM. *AK
