SERVICE BRAKES

WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS BREAK LIGHT COMES ON, AND THE BRAKES VIBRATE. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TECHNICIANS COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I THEN SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKES WORKED PROPERLY. THE SAME ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TWICE, ONCE AT LAX, AND THE MOST RECENT BEING TODAY 6/11/2019.

WHILE DRIVING THE SUV ON THE HIGHWAY I WENT TO BRAKE AND IT ACTED AS IF THE ABS BRA KING SYSTEM ENGAGED. THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN THE BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT AND THE BRAKES ACTED AS NORMAL AFTER THAT.

THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON, THE BRAKE PEDAL WEAKENS AND BRAKE SYSTEM MAKES A RATTLING NOISE WHEN THE PEDAL IS PRESSED. IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP THE CAR.

THE POWER BRAKES SEEM TO GO OUT DURING DRIVING. THEY CHUG THEN REQUIRE EXTREME FORCE PRESSURE ON PEDAL TO STOP. SHUTTING DOWN THE CAR AND THEN WAITING AND TURING IT BACK ON SEEMS TO RESTART IT.

STEERING,SUSPENSION

2 complaints

VEHICLE FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS JUMPING SIDE BY SIDE ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING OVER SMALL BUMPS ON THE PAVEMENT. REQUIRES FIRM GRIP ON STEERING WHEEL TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS ANY ROAD IMPERFECTIONS, POT HOLES, BRIDGES, OR BUMPS WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO VEER TO THE RIGHT AND FEEL AS THOUGH YOU ARE LOOSING CONTROL. TWO HANDS MUST BE USED WHILE ENCOUNTERING ANYTHING OTHER THAN A PERFECT ROAD. IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY AND UNSAFE WHEN TRAVELING AT SPEEDS GREATER THAT 50 MPH. IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IS GETTING READY TO PASS THE FRONT. THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE AND I FEAR FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY WHILE DRIVING. THE SUSPENSION HAS BEEN CHECKED AND HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE IN WORKING ORDER ALTHOUGH IT IS OBVIOUS SOMETHING IS EXTREMELY WRONG. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

1 complaint

MY TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING LONG DISTANCES ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 60 MPH AND THEN SLOWING DOWN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. IT ALSO FALLS DEAD ON LOCAL ROADS AT 30-40 MPH. I CAN LITERALLY PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND WITH NO PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR. THERE ARE NO WARNING CODES OR ALERTS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE SOUTHWEST INFINITI PAID FOR UNNECESSARY SERVICE AND THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. I AM ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE;BUT FROM ONLY PARK OR NEUTRAL. I THEN HAVE TO REV UP THE ENGINE FOR AT LEAST 5 MINS BEFORE I AM ABLE TO GET ANY TYPE OF ACCELERATION. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I ALMOST GOT HIT SEVERAL TIMES.

SUSPENSION,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

1 complaint

HAD NEW TIRES PUT ON MY INFINITI QX56....AFTER DOING SO SOUNDS AS IF REAR END IS SLIPPING. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND AM AFRAID THAT THIS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. HORN QUIT WORKING 1 YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED VEHICLE. THIS I KNOW IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THERE IS NO HORN TO BLOW, IN CASES WHERE NEEDED. FAN ON BLOWER QUIT WORKING, ONLY WORKS ON HIGH. PASSENGER SEAT WILL NO LONGER ADJUST. FAN AND PASSENGER SEAT QUIT WORKING APPROXIMATELY AT THE SAME TIME. NO ONE WANTS TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT, BUT WHEN YOU HEAR THINGS LIKE THE REAR END AND FRONT WHEELS SOUND AS IF THEY MIGHT FALL OFF....THAT IS SCARY. *TR

TOOK MY CAR TO GET NEW BREAKS AND HE SAID I NEEDED NEW CONTROL ARMS. I ASKED HOW I KNOW AND HE SAID TIRE WEAR. I HAVE GONE THRU 6 SETS ( THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS A HEAVY SUV AND A MAKE A LOT OF RIGHT TURNS) HE ALSO SAID BACK END SLIPPING (THIS HAS HAPPENED A LOT AS WELL I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE NOTHING WAS IN THE BACK LIKE A TRUCK) I CALLED INFINITI AND THEY SAY I HAVE TO PAY $95 AND NO GUARANTEE THEY WILL FIX IT FOR FREE. I SEE A BUNCH OF STUFF ONLINE ABOUT 2007 CONTROL ARMS SO NEED TO KNOW WHY MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED OR AT LEAST LOOKED AT FOR FREE. *TR

SUSPENSION,WHEELS

1 complaint

I PURCHASED NEW TIRES AT INFINITI OF COCONUT CREEK SEPTEMBER 2012. THERE IS A VIBRATION AND NOISE AT LOW SPEED, BELOW 30 MPH. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND WAS TOLD IT IS NOT THE TIRES, IT IS THE SUSPENSION THAT IS LOOSE AND I WILL JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. PER THE DEALER, INFINITI KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SUSPENSION ON THE QX56 AND THE ARMADA AND THERE IS NO FIX. THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE SUSPENSION. *TR
