2005 Infiniti QX56

BRAKE SHUDDER - SEVERELY REDUCED BRAKING POWER. BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON DASH. THIS IS RANDOM. HAPPENED TWICE MORE ON WAY TO WORK, APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH,ON I-40 EXIT RAMP AND 30 MPH ON A SIDE ROAD. TURNING OFF VEHICLE AND BACK ON RESETS THIS. BUT IT RANDOMLY HAPPENS AGAIN. I AM FEARFUL IN THIS VEHICLE. I CALLED DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ISSUE. A GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THIS SUBJECT.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 INFINITI QX56 I NOTICED I HAVE TO PRESS DOWN HARDER ON MY BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP. AT ONE POINT THE BRAKES GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATES. I KNOW I DON'T NEED BRAKE PADS BECAUSE THEY WERE REPLACED 2 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE ALSO HAD MY BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY REPLACED SO I KNOW IT IS NOT THAT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE I KEEP HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING ON A VERY BUSY STREET GOING ABOUT 45MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING MY CAR LOST POWER. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT IT DID NOT WORK AND THEN I TRIED BRAKING AND THEN I KNEW I WAS IN TROUBLE. THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND AT ALL, SO I PULLED OFF TO A SIDE STREET WHERE THE CAR ACTUALLY ROLLED TO A STOP. I COULD BARLEY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I FIND OUT TODAY AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH THERE WAS A RECALL # 10V074000 ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL BUT IT'S VIN # SPECIFIC. MEANING THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. SO NOW I'M STUCK WITH A BILL FOR 969 BUCKS FOR THIS EXACT RECALL! NISSAN WONT BE GETTING MY BUSINESS ANYMORE, MY LIFE AND SAFETY IS WAY TO PRECIOUS !!!!!! NO RECOURSE WHAT SO EVER! UGH.

50000 MILES ON IT AT MOMENT AND FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS MY INFINITI LOOSES BRAKE POWER. LAST WEEK I ALMOST RAN ON A VEHICLE WITH MY 6 MONTH OLD SON RIDING WITH ME. ONCE THE VEHICLE COMES TO COMPLETE STOP AFTER A WHILE AND ONCE THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. WHEN IT HAPPENS THERES A HUGE GRINDING NOISE AND BRAKE PEDAL SHAKES VERY BADLY AS IF THERES NO BRAKE ON THE CAR. ABOVE ALL THE VEHICLE HAS ALL GOOD BRAKES. THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON TOO WHEN THIS HAPPENS . AS MENTIONED ONCE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED EVERYTHING WOEKS NORMAL. I GOOGLED ONLINE AND SO MANY PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR MODELS HAVE THESE ISSUES. MOST IMPORTANT THE DEALER DOESNT ACKWOLEGES IT AND SAYS THERE NO RECALL . I BELEIVE THEY WAITING ONCE SOMEONR DOES BEFORE THEY WILL TAKE ACTION.I HOPE SOME ACTION CAN BE TAKEN ABOUT HIS KILLING MATTER.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. THERE IS A KNOCKING SOUND THAT OCCURS AS WELL WHEN I'M DRIVING. I'M CONCERNED IF I'M INVOLVED IN A COLLISION MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. I CONTACTED INFINITI AND WAS TOLD THEY NEED TO RESET IT AND WILL COST $800.00 AND MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER IT AND WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL LIST. THE IPDM ECM RELAY SWITCH CAUSES MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGE TO GO IN AND OUT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, MY TRUCK JERKS TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS, IT WILL SOMETIMES START UP AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, IT CAUSES THE RPM'S TO READ OVER 7 WHEN I'M ONLY DRIVING 60 MPH. IT SHOULD READ BETWEEN 2 AND 3 RPM'S. I'M CONSTANTLY SWITCHING THE ECM RELAY PLUGS TO START MY TRUCK. THE AIR BAG AND IPDM ECM RELAY WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I PURCHASED IT 4YEARS AGO.
