Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On two separate occasions within two days, the brake pedal went completely to the floor. In the first instance, I was already at a complete stop with my foot on the brake pedal when it suddenly collapsed all the way to the floor. In the second instance, as soon as I came to a complete stop, the brake pedal collapsed all the way to the floor. I am now afraid to drive the car, for fear it will occur again when I am not completely stopped, and I will have no braking ability. The Infiniti dealer has inspected the car, claims nothing is wrong, and they were unable to replicate the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10667433, filed 2014-12, 26,000 miles“The brake pedal seems spongy and while braking at slower speeds the seat belt pulls back violently pinning the driver back against the seat. Rear brakes have been replaced and brake system fluid check still no different.”

Waited for a break in traffic, upon a break in traffic tried to accelerate to cross traffic, as vehicle started to accelerate it stalled in middle of road. Wife and children in car started screaming. Traffic nice enough not to run into us. Had car towed to local automotive repair shop. Found that this is a common problem for the 5.6 litter nissan/ Infiniti engine. One of the timing gears for the left bank stopped rotating some how. …”
