Description of the problem | Periodically, on the order of once every month or two months, the antilock brakes become erratic. The pedal goes soft and the brakes engage extremely violently. When it happened the first time i pulled over to the side of the road and called my infiniti dealer. I kept the engine running while i explained what happened and was told to turn off the engine, wait about ten seconds and then restart the suv. The brakes worked normally after that. I was told the "computer had to be re-booted". This continues to happen on and off about every month or two. Never was given a satisfactory explanation as to why this occurs. When it happens if there is no traffic around, i put the car into neutral, turn off the key, then restart the car and the problem resolves. If i am in traffic i slow down gingerly, then pull off to the side of the road and turn off the key and restart the engine. This resolves the problem until the next time. |
