Same issue as all other posting..loss of brakes, shudder, lights go off. I had it towed in. As it was under warranty, they reprogrammed and redid all brakes...now, same problem 9 months ago..I cleared everything and it recurred again..this is lifethreatening...I'm amazed no action has been taken with all these posts (and many others on other compliant boards). Will someone have to get killed and then officially start a class-action?

What owners say
I have had my vehicle in for repair a total of 6 times for the brakes. 6/05 and 9/05 for a shudder and squeak issue. 4/06, 8/06, 9/06 and 11/06 for a complete brake failure issue. The dealer does not seem to be able to fix the problem and it is a safety hazard to drive the vehicle. There is no warning when the brakes fail.
Severe brake judder for 3 months, brakes have now completely failed , unable to drive car,(2) driver seat memory has failed,(3) rear window washer has failed, (4)driver seat coming apart, (5) windshield washer reservoir will not hold water.
Well, add me to the list (and I believe it's becomming a long one) of infiniti qx56 owners who are experiencing major front brake rotor issues (shuddering under braking). I've also had my navigation system drive and disc replace and the new one doesn't have anywhere near the street detail the original one did. I'm also having the false backup sensor warning tones happen as well.
2004 infiniti experienced shuddering in the brakes. *bf the dvd player stopped working, the drivers seat memory was inoperative.
The front brakes on my 2004 infiti qx56 began squeaking and shuddering in mid july 2004 at appoximately 5000 miles. The brake repair parts were not available until september 24, 2004. At this writing 09/29/04, the vehicle remains at the dealer awaiting a replacement front passenger seat adjustment assembly that took two months to arrive. It turns out the wrong part was ordered requiring a reorder of the part. My vehicle has been promised to me by 09/30/04!
