  FUEL GAUGE INDICATE 1/4 TANK DURING MY DRIVE DOWN THE FREEWAY DURING SLIGHT RUSH HOUR. CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS IN THE THIRD LANE OF THE FREEWAY. AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED FROM RUBBER NECKING. INFINITI OF ELK GROVE COULDN'T DIAGNOSE IT RIGHT AWAY AND THE CAR DIED 2 MORE TIMES, ONCE MORE ON THE FREEWAY, AND WAS LUCKY TO GLIDE OFF THE FREEWAY WITH NO POWER STEERING. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED 3 TIMES TO INFINITI, THEY FINALLY DIAGNOSED THE FUEL SENSOR AFTER WE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND TOLD THEM WHAT TO CHECK. CHECKED ALL RECALLS AND THIS WAS LISTED AS A PROBLEM BUT INFINITI REFUSE TO COVER THIS DEFECT. AFTER OWNING A QX56, FX35 AND G35, THE RUDENESS OF THE REPAIR MANAGER LEFT A REALLY BAD TASTE. *TR

  The contact owns a 2005 Infiniti QX56. The contact stated that while driving approximately 75 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The vehicle was later towed to the residence where it was discovered that no fuel was present although the fuel gauge indicated that there was a quarter tank of fuel in the tank. After adding fuel, the vehicle was restarted, and the vehicle operated as designed. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the NHTSA Campaign Number 10V074000 (Fuel System, Other). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 150,000.

• 10/26/2012· STEERING,WHEELS,SERVICE BRAKES

  BRAKE PROBLEM USUALLY OCCURS AFTER A TURN WHEN ACCELERATING TO ABOUT 20 TO 30 MPH. STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE BRAKES, BRAKE DASH LIGHTS COMES ON AND THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATES AND GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. SOUNDS ALSO ARE HEARD FROM THE FRONT BRAKES (RUBBING AND GRINDING). THE VEHICLE WILL BARELY STOP WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THANK GOD WE ARE NOT GOING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WHEN THIS OCCURS, IF SO, WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK IN TIME. PROBLEM ALWAYS STOPS AFTER WE PULL OVER AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MANY OCCASIONS WITH RECENTLY SEVERAL INCIDENTS IN ONE WEEK, OTHERWISE IT HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. WE ARE AFRAID THAT THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE AND MAY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. WE LOVE THE VEHICLE BUT JUST WANT THE REPAIRS MADE BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS. ALSO, THE AIRBAG LIGHT RECENTLY CAME ON AS WELL. QUESTION; ARE THERE RECALLS ON THESE PROBLEMS? *TR

  I HAVE A 2005 INFINITY QX56 AND RECENTLY THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT WHILE ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE OF THE RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE IS SHOWING OVER A 1/4 TANK STILL REMAINING. CONTACTED INFINITY AND INFORMED THEM OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V074000 WHICH SAYS "THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE MAY INACCURATELY DISPLAY THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SOME FUEL, TYPICALLY ABOUT ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY" ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE MATCHES IDENTICALLY TO THE PROPER MAKE MODEL AND YEAR OF THE RECALL THEY STATE THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED WITH THE RECALL. I DO BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE SINCE MY WIFE WAS ACCELERATING ONTO THE FREEWAY RECENTLY IN FRONT OF A SEMI TRUCK WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT AND THE SEMI HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE MANEUVERS INTO ANOTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC WHICH ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS CRASH ON INTERSTATE-94. *TR

  THIS LETTER IS IN REFERENCE TO A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT FILED WITH INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON DECEMBER 3, 2009, REGARDING MY VEHICLE SHUTTING COMPLETELY DOWN, STALLED OUT, NOT MOVING IN THE DRIVE OR REVERSE POSITION AT A BUSY INTERSECTION ON A RAINY STORMY EVENING. THIS OCCURRENCE COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR WORSE, A FATALITY. AS A RESULT OF POLICE ASSISTANCE AND HAVING MY VEHICLE TOWED DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP, TO DATE THERE ARE NO MECHANICAL ISSUES FOUND BY THE DEALER RELATED TO MY VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN AT THE INTERSECTION. MY COMPLAINT CONTAINS ADDITIONAL SERIOUS VEHICLE ISSUES REGARDING MY HEADLIGHTS, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, AND THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD. BOTH HEADLIGHTS ON MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. THE BULBS WERE REPLACED AND THE HEADLIGHT FUSES WERE FOUND TO BE FUNCTIONING. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL/CLUSTER LIGHT BLINKS CONSTANTLY AS I DRIVE AND THE PANEL/CLUSTER GAUGES ARE COMPLETELY NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. FUSES HAVE BEEN CHECKED UNDER THE VEHICLE?S HOOD AND RESULTS INDICATE SOME OF THE 10 AMP FUSES ARE NOT FUNCTIONING AT ALL. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY RECALL REGARDING MY 2005 INFINITI QX 56, WHICH APPEARS TO JEOPARDIZE MY SAFETY. THERE ARE NO LEGITIMATE ANSWERS OR EXPLANATIONS AS TO WHY MY VEHICLE?S HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING, THE CLUSTER/PANEL HAS MALFUNCTIONED, OR WHY SOME FUSES UNDERNEATH MY VEHICLE?S HOOD ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. AS A RESULT OF MY VEHICLE?S EXPIRED WARRANTY AND MECHANICAL FAILURES, I HAVE CONSUMED A GREAT DEAL OF OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES, INCLUDING A TRAFFIC CITATION REGARDING MY HEADLIGHTS. I AM LIMITED AND INCONVENIENCED TO DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT AS A RESULT OF MY INOPERABLE HEADLIGHTS WHICH CAN CAUSE ME GREAT HARM. I AM REQUESTING THAT MY SITUATION BE GIVEN SERIOUS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND RESOLUTION. UPDATED 01/21/15

  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 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.

• 09/26/2017· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  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.

• 09/21/2019· 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.

• 09/21/2005· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  DT: AT APPROXIMATELY 2,000 MILES THERE WAS AN UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE. THIS PROBLEM GOT WORSE. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHO NOTED THE NEED FOR NEW ROTORS. THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED AT 2,000 MILES. ABOUT TWO MONTHS LATER, THE PROBLEM RETURNED AND AGAIN TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE SAFE TO DRIVE. THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED AND WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE THERE WAS A HORRIBLE SOUND AS IF THEY WERE GRINDING. THE RED BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH PANEL. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, 75% OF BRAKING CAPACITY WAS LOST. THE CONSUMER PULLED OVER, AND CALLED HUSBAND, LEAVING THE VEHICLE BEHIND FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR CORRECTIONS. THE DEALER FELT THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS NOT HEAVY DUTY ENOUGH FOR THIS MODEL. THE DEALER DID SOME ADDITIONAL WORK TO THE BRAKES. A MONTH LATER, THE PROBLEM RESURFACED. THE VEHICLE WAS DUE FOR MAINTENANCE, AND IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO SUSPECTED THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES. MALFUNCTIONED. THE DEALER CONSULTED INFINITI TO SPEAK TO AN ENGINEER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND FOR ADVICE. SOME CORRECTIONS WERE MADE. LATER, THE SAME SITUATION OCCURRED WITH THE GRINDING NOISE AND LOSS OF BRAKE CAPACITY AS WELL AS THE LIGHT . THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK

• 09/17/2013· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,POWER TRAIN

  A 2005 INFINITY QX56 WAS BEING DRIVEN AT 35 MPH ON A TWO LANE ROAD WHEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COOLER RUPTURED INSIDE THE RADIATOR RELEASING THE ATF FLUID INTO THE RADIATOR. THE TRANSMISSION WAS LOSING ATF THROUGH THE RADIATOR'S PRESSURE RELIEF POINTS AN LOST THE ABILITY TO PROPEL THE CAR WITHIN ONE BLOCK. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN INTO A NEARBY DRIVE AND WAS UNABLE TO MOVE AFTER THAT POINT. THE RUPTURE COULD HAVE LEAD TO A CRASH SITUATION. THE SECOND PART OF INCIDENT IS THE COOLANT CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSED A SHORT TERM FRICTION MATERIAL FAILURE 4 MONTHS LATER. THE RADIATOR WAS REPLACED AND TRANSMISSION CLEANED AND FLUSHED. THE TRANSMISSION WORKED UNTIL AUGUST 20, 2013. THE TRANSMISSION LOST CONTACT WITH 5TH BAND AT 60 MPH ON A INTERSTATE AND WAS NO LONGER PROPELLING THE CAR. A SHIFT INTO THE 4TH BAND GOT THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND IT WAS TOWED FOR REPAIR. THE ANTIFREEZE HAD DISSOLVED THE FRICTION MATERIAL CONSTRUCTION AND CORRODED VALVE PARTS. IT WAS REBUILT AND THE DESTRUCTION CONFIRMED. BOTH INCIDENTS COULD EASILY HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. INFINITY SENT US NO WARNING AND SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM OR RECALL. THE REPAIR SHOP HAS REPAIRED 5 OTHER INFINITY QX56 CARS FOR THE SAME FAILURES BEFORE MY CAR WAS REPAIRED. NISSAN N. AMERICA HAS SIMILAR FAILURES IN THE PATHFINDER MODEL,AS CONFIRMED BY TWO INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOPS CONTACTED. A WARNING: IF COOLANT DRIPS ARE NOTICED UNDER THE RADIATOR CHECK THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE CONNECTIONS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RADIATOR, IF THE ARE WET AND OR LEAKING COOLANT, HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A SHOP AND CHECKED FOR PROBLEM. CATCHING THIS PROBLEM AT THIS POINT MAY ONLY REQUIRE THE RADIATOR TO BE REPLACED, AND NO CRASH HAZARD. *TR

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.

AS THIS HAPPENS, THE RED BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON THE DASH PANEL. THE ONLY WAY TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE BRAKES IS TO STEER THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON. ONCE THE CAR RESTARTS, ONLY THEN CAN THE BREAKS FULLY WORK. THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME THREE ACCIDENTS ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

  WITHOUT ANY WARNING, THE CAR SHUT OFF RENDERING THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES USELESS, MAKING THE CAR VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP AND CONTROL. THE FUEL INDICATOR WAS AROUND A QUARTER OF A TANK. COME TO FIND OUT THE CAR RAN OUT OF FUEL WITHOUT ANY WARNING. CONTACTED THE INFINITI DEALER (DREYER & REINBOLD) AND THE NATIONAL NISSAN/INFINITI NUMBER (CASE#1[XXX]). BOTH SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THEY COULDN'T HELP ME. IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO ENCOUNTER AND I'M JUST WARNING DRIVERS OF THIS CAR AND INFINITI'S LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT.

  INTERMITTENTLY IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS MY INFINITI Q56'S BRAKES HAVE BEEN BECOMING SOFT AND GRINDING WHEN TRYING TO STOP. THE BRAKE LIGHT AND THE SLIP LIGHT ALSO COME ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS. WHEN I STOP THE VEHICLE AND TURN OFF THE MOTOR, REMOVE THE KEY AND THEN RESTART IT WILL RESET THE BRAKES AND THEY WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL. IN THE PAST WEEK THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERYTIME I DRIVE IT. IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED AND EVERYTHING IS GOOD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THEY SAID IMMEDIATELY THAT IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY MUST BE SEEING THIS PROBLEM ON A REGULAR BASIS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE TO TELL ME WHAT IT WAS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR Q56'S AND NISSAN ARMADAS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE COMPANY SHOULD BE RECALLING THE VEHICLES AND FIXING THEM. THIS ISN'T A MAINTENANCE ISSUE, ITS A COMPONENT FAILURE. *TT

• 06/29/2014· POWER TRAIN

  A 2005 INFINITY QX56 WAS BEING DRIVEN AT 50 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COOLER HOSE RUPTURED RELEASING THE ATF FLUID. THE TRANSMISSION WAS LOSING ATF . LOST THE ABILITY TO PROPEL THE CAR. AT THAT TIME I HAD MY WIFE AND 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN INTO A NEARBY SHOPPING PLAZA PARKING LOT AND WAS UNABLE TO MOVE AFTER THAT POINT. THE RUPTURE COULD HAVE LEAD TO A CRASH SITUATION. THE INCIDENT CAUSED A SHORT TERM FRICTION MATERIAL FAILURE WEEK LATER. THE HOSE WAS REPLACED AND TRANSMISSION CLEANED AND FLUSHED. THE TRANSMISSION WORKED UNTIL JUNE 3 , 2014. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT TO 4TH GEAR AT 55 MPH ON A INTERSTATE, HAD TO PULL OVER AND TOW THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC SHOP, WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED OR TOTALLY REBUILD..... BOTH INCIDENTS COULD EASILY HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. *TR

• 06/16/2010· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  BRAKES BECOME MUSHY DURING APPLICATION WITH A LOSE OF ABOUT 50-75% OF THEIR POWER. BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIGHT UP. CARS ANTILOCK BRAKES ARE ACTIVATED. CAR IS VERY DELAYED IN BRAKING EVEN AT SLOW SPEEDS. THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED AFTER THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, IS PLACED IN PARK, AND TURNED OFF THEN BACK ON. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ONLY ONCE; ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY MOVE INTO AN ADJACENT LANE TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE PROBLEM WAS THOUGHT TO BE A DELTA SENSOR AND BRAKE BOOSTER. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT POSITIVE THIS WAS THE CORRECT FIX, BUT THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FLASHED SEVERAL OTHER DELTA SENSORS IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE DELTA SENSOR WAS FOUND TO BE FAULTY ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. THE PART WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED AND REPLACED AT ANOTHER TIME. *TR
