2008 Infiniti QX56 Brakes Problems

“I applied brakes with plenty of lead time but the QX56 failed to brake causing me to rear end another SUV; I did minimal damage to the other car but damaged my radiator/front-bumper/hood. I had a similar ABS issue about a week before as described by many for the 2004-2006 nissan/infinity recall but I didn't research that recall until this current accident. My airbags did not go off. …”

“I was driving down the road when my brakes started to skip. I stop my vehicle and put the vehicle in park and then put it back in drive then I was able to drive again as normal. It happen three more times after that. It's very dangerous for this kind of issue to occur in travel while driving at any rate of speed. I need this issue looked at by the dealer ship at their expense.”

“The brakes on my vehicle has a strange reaction when I brake at times and is hesitant to stop. It doesn't happen often but it's scary. Usually after I stop the vehicle, cut it off & crank it again the problem goes away only to do it again on a later date. After going online I find that many others have experienced the same problem with Infiniti QX56 & nissan armada's. I'm sure whether or not it's a ABS sensor malfunction or what but thankfully it haven't happened while being in heavy traffic because I fear I'll rear end another motorist.”

“Just purchased a used 2008 QX56 with 118,000 miles. 2 incidents: while coming to a stop, brakes failed and brake light came on. Dealer says low brake fluid so they filled and all seemed fine. 3 days later, coming to a stop traveling less than 30 MPH same thing. The defect continued as I made my way to my house a block away. I can see why this issue would cause an accident and the issue in no way felt like a pin causing an issue with the pedal and bracket as described in recall listed. …”

“My wife was driving her 2008 QX56 and when she tried to brake her foot went to the floor and she heard a grinding noise, she pumped and pumped the brakes but did not notice any measurable slowing down of the vehicle. Fortunately there was no one in front of her and she was evenatually able to safely pull into a parking lot and stop the vehicle. Upon my research this appears to be a know defect. The dealership where I took the car, diagnosed it as a delta stroke sensor defect. Upon researching this there appears to have been a class action suit against nissan/infinitie that the plaintiffs won. …”
