Description of the problem | 9/25/2012-i am having some severe issues with the brakes on the m37. Yesterday i just avoided an accident with the back end of a ups truck as the car would not stop. This is the third time that something like this has happened with the brakes. Each time it has been while traveling above 50 mph and trying to stop quickly. The reaction of the car is similar to that of an anti-lock brake system when you are on wet or icy roads. However, the roads have been perfectly dry and the sun is shining. When trying to use the brake to decelerate the pedal will pulsate and the engine rpm will increase significantly. Basically the car drives through the driver's command to stop. Last night it was so bad that i had to swerve into the oncoming lane because it would not stop in time to prevent me from rear-ending the ups truck. I am a very sound driver that does not tail gate and this car has done this now 3 times. The other two times i was trying to avoid animals that shot out in front of me. I see that this has been a known problem on several model year cars for infiniti. |
