What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 infiniti qx56. While attempting to make a left turn at speeds of 7 MPH, a vehicle crashed into the rear passenger side wheel of his vehicle. He depressed the brake pedal but the brakes would not engage. The contact sustained a minor injury to his wrist. A police report was filed. A local mechanic repaired the wheel, axle, frame and passenger side door. The air bags did not deploy upon impact.
The brakes on my vehicle has a strange reaction when I brake at times and is hesitant to stop. It doesn't happen often but it's scary. Usually after I stop the vehicle, cut it off & crank it again the problem goes away only to do it again on a later date. After going online I find that many others have experienced the same problem with infiniti qx56 & nissan armada's.
