Description of the problem | I have a 2004 qx56 -- i'm having the same issue with my brakes. All of a sudden the brake light will come on and when you press on the brake you hear a scary loud grinding sound and trying to stop it really tough. It feels like the abs brakes kicked in --- it has happened several times randomly. As soon as i turned the truck off and restarted it the brake light came off and it started to drive like normal. But i have hit the grass several times bc when this failure occurs you're likely to hit someone in front or, with a sudden grinding stop, someone hit you from behind. I took it to the shop and they said it was a brake issue. So i replaced all 4 brakes and rotors -- yet the problem still happened!! I went back and they said it's probably the delta sensor and it'll be $1000 plus a few hundred to update the computer too. This is very dangerous and the scary part is there is no warning-- it just happens randomly. This is something infiniti / nissan should fix!! |
