“My infinity qx 56 truck brake pedal starts to vibrate and make loud spring noises, next the vehicle will begin to pulsate violently during braking and make a loud grinding noise with an extended braking response (nearly causing me to crash into traffic ahead or in front of me). The vehicle defectively turns on the ABS and brake light warnings in the dashboard while using brakes to stop at stop signs, red lights, or to make turns behind other traffic. This activation is random without cause or occurrence. I am terrified to drive my infinity 2006 QX56. …”

NHTSA complaint #10619269, filed 2014-08, 140,000 miles

“I have a 2006 Infiniti QX56 with 46,000 mile on it, and my brakes failed on me approximately 4 times already, but just coming out of a drive way or backing up from a parking lot, I would have to turn off the truck and turn it back on for the brakes to function normal again. When it failed and I pressed on the brake I noticed the brake light on the dash would turn on and I would hear grinding noise from the brakes and it seems as the pads are barley grabbing the rotors. It been a scary experience for me and my family. It my family truck and I have a wife and 4 kids. …”
