Description of the problem | Issue: every 2-3 months car has had a total break failure. By total brake failure i mean pedal goes all the way to bottom and seat belts tighten with 0 breaking power. Pumping breaks 2-3 times then returns to normal. Issue is not easily repeatable. Only other symptom is break pedal seems a bit softer than usual. Issue history: issue first started spring/summer 2019. Tried various items to fix issue including: bleeding break lines, switching master cylinder, etc. Car primarily serviced at jim lupient infinity dealer. Last item dealer wanted was to replace was the abs , but in big capital letters (may not fix issue). Contacted infinity consumer assistance and got 0 assistance. Infinity case number: 40461337 this car, as is, is a bad accident waiting to happen. We sold the car to the infinity dealer well bellow cost as could not in good conscience sell it to someone else due to how unsafe it is.
