2005 Infiniti QX56

RANDOMLY, I WILL STEP ON THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKES BEGIN TO PULSATE. THEN IT SOUNDS LIKE GRINDING SOUND AND THE BRAKE PEDAL LOSES PRESSURE. ALMOST LIKE IT HIT A VOID AND DROPPED TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO TRY AND SLOW DOWN VEHICLE TO COME TO A STOP. CALIPERS AND PADS WERE ALL CHANGED, PER DEALER FINDINGS. AND IT CONTINUED. I DO NOT GO OVER 40 MPH FOR FEAR OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN. IT'S CLEARLY AND UNSAFE SITUATION AND THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY ONLY HEAR THIS WHEN PEOPLE HAVE BACK BRAKES. GUESS WHAT, I BROUGHT IT TO ANOTHER INFINITI SERVICE CENTER, AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING EVEN THOUGHT THE OTHER SERVICE CENTER REPLACED JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING. ANOTHER MECHANIC, FROM THE SERVICE CENTER, TOOK ME ASIDE AND SAID THIS IS FREQUENTLY HAPPENING WITH THIS MODEL AND IT IS A MASTER CYLINDER ISSUE FROM DESIGN. COME ON INFINITI, FIX THIS!

I AM HAVING BRAKE ISSUES WITH MY 2005 INFINITI QX56. THE BRAKE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. IT IS ALSO VERY HARD TO GET IT TO COME TO A STOP. JUST YESTERDAY, I ALMOST COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. I AM ALSO HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. I HAVE RUN OUT OF FUEL 3 TIMES AND EACH TIME THE THE GAUGE IS SHOWING BETWEEN 1/2 AND 1/4 FULL. BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2017 WE WERE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. ALL OF A SUDDEN WE LOST POWER AND WE WERE GOING 70 MILES AN HOUR. WE WERE IN THE PASSING LANE AND WE LUCKY TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE WERE ALMOST IN A SEVERE ACCIDENT. I HAVE RESEARCHED BOTH ISSUES ONLINE. I KNOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON THESE ISSUES. WHEN I CALLED INFINITI ABOUT THIS, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS IN FACT RECALLS BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. OBVIOUSLY, IF I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH BOTH OF THE THINGS AND THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON BOTH OF THEM, MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE ON THIS RECALL LIST. I SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE PEOPLE ARE SEVERELY INJURED OR WORSE.

WHILE DRIVING ,I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL DROPPED DOWN AND STARTED MAKING A WEIRD NOISE KIND OF LIKE LOOSE METAL PARTS AND THE TRUCK WOULDN'T STOP. THE ABS LIGHT TURNED ON. IT FELT LIKE THE BRAKES LOCKED UP . I MANAGED TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF. I TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT SEEMED TO RESET THE SYSTEM. BRAKE PETAL RAISED BACK UP AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHUT OFF.

I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE CAN NOT HAVE RECALL PERFORMED BECAUSE IT HAD AN AFTERMARKET FUEL PUMP. MY DAD GAVE ME THE VEHICLE BEFORE HE PAST SO I'M NOT SURE IF SOME ONE ELSE HAS WORKED ON VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS CAUSING GAS PROBLEMS THAT ARE UNSAFE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER TO BUY A NEW ONE PUT IT IN THEN HAVE THEM DO A RECALL. PLEASE HELP.

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2005 INFINITI QX56. THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT READING CORRECTLY. IT STOPS READING CORRECTLY ONCE IT REACHES ABOUT HALF A TANK OF GAS. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT NIGHT AND I RAN OUT OF GAS. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION BECAUSE I HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME AND AT THE TIME I HAD NO IDEA WHY THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF BECAUSE MY METER WAS SHOWING THAT I HAD HALF A TANK OF GAS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC THE NEXT DAY AND HE WAS ABLE TO TELL ME AFTER A FEW DAYS OF ME TAKING IT BY THE SHOP TO GET A READING, THAT THEIR WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE READING WHICH MEANT THAT THE TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE DROPPED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I LATER READ UP OF COMMON ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE AND SAW THAT THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEIR WAS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST SO THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF SINCE THERE ARE SEVERAL VEHICLES WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.
