The vehicle will lose power to the brakes while driving intermittently. when problem occurs you will lose power steering and pressure to braking system. also the driver hid headlamp gets moisture in it whenever it rains. I have had to replace the hid bulb about 6 times in the past year. also there seems to be an electrical issue with the onboard computer that causes the tachometer to not work or read correctly.

While driving in residential/business area my vehicle completely lost power and turned off. I drifted to the side of the road without power steering. Tried to start vehicle again. Vehicle would start but would immediately die-would not idle. After resting approx 5 minutes I was able to start again and continue home. This has happened 3 times in the past 2 months. I am terrified to drive this vehicle again. I also cannot keep the drivers side headlight working. Bulbs constantly blow out at over 300.00 dollars each. *tr
- Service brakes
Every once in a while, seemingly after slow driving where there are many stop signs not too far apart, the brake light comes on, the brake pedal weakens and brake system makes a rattling noise when the pedal IS pressed. Then I turn off the vehicle and restart it and all IS back to normal until the next time, can be days or sometimes weeks.
- Service brakes
When driving, the brake light comes on for no reason and causes the brakes to work inappropriately. It becomes very hard to brake. The brakes seem to fall through and there IS a grinding sound from the brakes. If I turn the vehicle off, and then back on it works fine. Then it happens again sparatically.

While driving straight on interstate I-95 during rush hour at approximately 30 miles/hour, I pressed on the brakes and the pedal dropped down and started making a weird noise (like grinding sound) and the car wouldn't stop. The ABS light turned on, check engine light turned on, the pedal lost pressure and the brakes locked up. I ended up in a crash, rear-ending the vehicle in front of me. the car has now been repaired from damages from crash but mechanic found no problem with brake system. ABS sensors, calipers, disks and pads where changed as precaution but problem reappears from time to time and seems to reset when vehicle IS turned off and on again (brake petal raised back up, grinding sound disappears and the check engine light and ABS light shut off). I visited two infinity dealers and both of them mentioned that it was a recurring problem with this model car and the problem was an issue with the master cylinder's design.

My airbag light stays on constantly. There IS a knocking sound that occurs as well when I'm driving. I'm concerned if I'm involved in a collision my airbags will not deploy. I contacted infiniti and was told they need to reset it and will cost $800.00 and my extended warranty did not cover it and was not part of the recall list. The ipdm ecm relay switch causes my instrument cluster gauge to go in and out, the check engine light comes on, my truck jerks trying to switch gears, it will sometimes start up after several tries, it causes the rpm's to read over 7 when I'm only driving 60 mph. It should read between 2 and 3 rpm's. I'm constantly switching the ecm relay plugs to start my truck. The air bag and ipdm ecm relay was not covered under my extended warranty when I purchased my vehicle. This has been going on since I purchased it 4years ago.

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.

After driving in stop and go traffic, slow speed with many stops, the brake pedal loses power and begins to pulsate. When this happens, the emergency brake light illuminates on the dashboard. Turming the vehicle on/off seems to reset the car and the issue IS resloved.

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.
- Fuel/propulsion system
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.

While driving my 2005 infiniti QX56 I noticed I have to press down harder on my brakes to come to a stop. At one point the brakes go all the way to the floor and the brake light illuminates. I know I don't need brake pads because they were replaced 2 months ago. I have also had my brake booster assembly replaced so I know it IS not that. I don't know what to do because I keep having issues with this vehicle.

I was driving on a very busy street going about 45mph and without warning my car lost power. I tried to accelerate but it did not work and then I tried braking and then I knew I was in trouble. The car did not respond at all, so I pulled off to a side street where the car actually rolled to a stop. I could barley turn the steering wheel. I had to have the car towed to a nissan dealership. I find out today after a little research there was a recall # 10v074000 on this year and model but it's vin # specific. Meaning that my vin was not included. So now I'm stuck with a bill for 969 bucks for this exact recall! nissan wont be getting my business anymore, my life and safety IS way to precious !!!!!! No recourse what so ever! Ugh.

50000 miles on it at moment and for the last 3 years my infiniti looses brake power. Last week I almost ran on a vehicle with my 6 month old son riding with me. Once the vehicle comes to complete stop after a while and once the engine IS turned off and restarted the problem goes away. When it happens theres a huge grinding noise and brake pedal shakes very badly as if theres no brake on the car. Above all the vehicle has all good brakes. The brake light comes on too when this happens . As mentioned once engine IS turned off and restarted everything woeks normal. I googled online and so many people with similar models have these issues. Most important the dealer doesnt ackwoleges it and says there no recall . I beleive they waiting once someonr does before they will take action.i hope some action can be taken about his killing matter.
