What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 infiniti q-x56. The vehicle was having a routine oil change when the dealer informed him that the front brake pads were defective. The brake pads were replaced at that time. While driving home from the dealer at unknown speeds, the brakes did not feel normal and took the vehicle back to the dealer. The dealer advised that the brakes were normal and would feel uncomfortable until they were broken in.
Stepped on brakes and pedal went all the way to floorboard with out stopping the SUV. SUV finally stopped on speed bump a few feet away. Looked in the internet, there are other people with same problem. There is also a couple suing nissan for this very problem. I think nissan should be held responsible. The problem I understand is in the brake power booster. It should have being recall.
