Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Infiniti qx56 has brake system design flaw. front brakes need replacement on average every 4-6000 miles. brake rotors are too small which causes rotor warpage. as a result, the steering wheel shutters back and forth when brakes are applied. there is no fix for this from nissan. this is brake design flaw also effects similar platforms such as the armada and the titan. there also is a design flaw in the front end which causes the steering wheel to shake violently when going over bumps at speeds in excess of 45 mph. hitting certain bumps in the road can cause the front end to go into resonance, thus shaking the steering wheel enough to loose control of vehicle.*ak
