I HAVE A 2006 INFINITI QX56 WITH 46,000 MILE ON IT, AND MY BRAKES FAILED ON ME APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES ALREADY, BUT JUST COMING OUT OF A DRIVE WAY OR BACKING UP FROM A PARKING LOT, I WOULD HAVE TO TURN OFF THE TRUCK AND TURN IT BACK ON FOR THE BRAKES TO FUNCTION NORMAL AGAIN. WHEN IT FAILED AND I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH WOULD TURN ON AND I WOULD HEAR GRINDING NOISE FROM THE BRAKES AND IT SEEMS AS THE PADS ARE BARLEY GRABBING THE ROTORS. IT BEEN A SCARY EXPERIENCE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. IT MY FAMILY TRUCK AND I HAVE A WIFE AND 4 KIDS. I WAS ALSO TOLD IT COULD BE THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE FOR THE NISSAN ARMADAS AND INFINITI QX56. *TR
