2006 Infiniti QX56 Complaints

DIFFICULTY STOPPING. PINGING NOISE. REPLACED THE BRAKES BUT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. VERY DANGEROUS AS IT'S VERY HARD TO BRAKE AND BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON. HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES AND IT SEEMS TO RESET ONCE THE CAR IS SHUT OFF! VERY SCARY. HAPPENS OUT OF THE BLUE.

WHEN MY CAR IS IN MOTION AND I GO OVER ANY BUMPS IT PULLS THE BACK END OF CAR MY TO THE SIDE AND BOUNCES AROUND SO MUCH THAT I ALMOST DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF MY CAR.THIS WILL PULL SO MUCH IT TAKE ME TO THE SIDE OF THE LAND IM CURRENTLY IN I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I LOOK OUT FOR BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND MAKE SURE I SLOW DOWN BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT SO I CAN KEEP CONTROL OF THE CAR. THIS CAUSES MY ABS TO TURN ON WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS BECAUSE THE CAR THINK IM NOT IN CONTROL WHICH ALSO CAUSE MORE ISSUES. THIS ALSO CAUSE A RISK AS I HAVE OTHER TRAFFIC DRIVING AROUND ME, I HAVE CHILDREN AND I AM IN CONSTANT WORRY THAT IM NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SLOW DOWN TO KEEP CONTROL ESPECIALLY ON A HWY THERE IS NO SLOWING DOWN TO 20MPH ON A HWY. 2ND ISSUE MY DASHBOARD LIGHT CONTINUOUS FLICKER AND THEN GO OUT. RPM/TACK NEEDLE HAS QUIT WORKING. I HAVE HAD THIS REPAIRED SEVERAL TIME AND STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI QX56. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE AND DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RADIATOR FAILED WHICH CAUSED COOLANT TO MIX WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID AND CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO BECOME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON A FREEWAY WHEN TRAFFIC AHEAD CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP. I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR AND I DID NOT FEEL THE CAR SLOW AT ALL. THE "BRAKE" DASH INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON, AND I CONTINUED PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO TRY AND SLOW THE CAR. WHILE I CONTINUED PRESSING THE BRAKES, THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN RAPIDLY ON ITS OWN AS IF IT WAS PRESSING THE BRAKES ON ITS OWN AND I COULD HEAR A LOUD GRINDING SOUND. I RELEASED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND CROSSED SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC AS THE CAR WAS UNCONTROLLABLY SLOWING TO REACH THE SHOULDER. I CALLED MY HUSBAND TO TELL HIM WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND REMAINED ON THE SHOULDER WITH THE CAR RUNNING. MY HUSBAND MET ME ON THE SHOULDER AND DROVE THE CAR HOME. HE SAID THAT THE GRINDING SOUND WAS THE ABS ON IN A PERMANENT STATE, AND WOULD ACTIVATE DURING EVERY BRAKING UNLESS THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED EXTREMELY LIGHTLY. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN TO OUR DRIVEWAY AND TURNED OFF. SEVERAL HOURS LATER MY HUSBAND DROVE IT...

WHILE IN MOTION THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELS LOOSE AND THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE. THE BRAKING POWER LOSES FUNCTION, THE RED BRAKE LIGHT TURNS ON AND YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE FOR IT TO RESET ITSELF. I ONLY LEARNED THAT IT WILL RESET ITSELF WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AFTER THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME ON A STREET. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND FREEWAY. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND MOST RECENTLY 1 WEEK AGO.
