January 1901

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.

The brakes of my 2007 infiniti qx56 failed when I was driving my whole family, including two kids, on the ramp up to highway. I stepped on brakes to slightly slow down for entering the free way after another car, and all four wheels started to have loud grinding sounds, and brakes didn't take action, no matter how hard I step on it. I have to make a sharp curve out to the emergency lane and slide my car out to access road. After finally slowing down the car and pulled over to a parking lot.
