NHTSA Complaint #10410298 — 2008 INFINITI QX56

2008 INFINITY QX56 BRAKE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. ON JUNE 30, 2011, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AND TURNING INTO A SUBDIVISION AND TRYING TO APPLY THE BREAKS, A LOUD SCREECHING SOUND WAS HEARD AND THE BRAKES FILED AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES THEY FINALLY WORKED. THIS WAS A DAY AFTER THE CAR WOULD NOT IN A PARKING LOT BECAUSE THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. WE HAD AAA JUMP START THE CAR AND WERE INFORMED THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED OR NOT. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE. THE COMPUTER DID NOT REGISTER THE BRAKE LIGHT COMING ON SO THEY HAD NO MORE INFORMATION. WE FOUND A POST ON THE ARMADA FORUM CLUB (HTTP://WWW.CLUBARMADA.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=20102&PAGE=3) OUTLINING SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES AND NISSAN STILL FAILS TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS. MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING WITH OUT 3 CHILDREN AND WE ARE LUCKY SHE DID NOT NEED TO STOP SUDDENLY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THEE DEALERSHIP IS GOING TO DO RESEARCH BUT SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR
