What owners wrote
Brake failure on 2006 infiniti qx56. One time. Situation dangerous, driver avoiding pedestrians and vehicles on a busy thoroughfare.
The brakes get hard and cannot stop quickly. It grinds and have to park and cut the engine off for a few minutes then it works again. Almost caused a fatal accident. This is definitely a factory defect due to lots of owners on the net having the exact same problem. There is no indication when it about to happen. It happened at least three times since buying this vehicle used for my wife. This problem happens also with the nissan armada. Contacted the manufacturer and they don't seem concerned at all.
