Fixed delta displacement sensor brake fail issue

I have a 2007 Infinity QX56 with very little mileage in Qatar. My car had the same brake failure problem that thousands of Infinity, Armada and Titans have experienced. I was lucky that I managed to control the car when the brakes suddenly failed and I was able to avoid a hit. The symptoms were a squeaky noise on the brake pedal, a springy feel on the pedals and loss of braking, as well as a brake light on the dashboard. The Authorized Infinity Service Center in Qatar was completely unaware of this issue and despite several calls they refused to acknowledge my issue and quoted a cost of approximately $2,500 to replace the system. I even informed them about the lawsuit and the class action lawsuit which as the US they just ignored. The lawsuit found that the brake failure occurred on 2004-2008 Nissan Armada, Titan and Infiniti QX56 models. A total of around 350,000 vehicles were affected. Part of the electrical system that controls the brakes and delta sensors was defective, preventing the SUV from stopping. 3 people died in a fatal accident in Vegas. To solve this problem and avoid being robbed of $2,500, I contacted several owners who were having similar issues on various forums. I first bought a used certified brake booster from a donor car but it had the same faulty sensor and the problem persisted. It took me a lot of work, but I sent the part back. Cardone did a great job with this amp and I'm glad the issue has been resolved. Highly recommended if you are a victim of the pathetic customer service from Infinity Agents worldwide. Drive carefully!

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
