Problem overview

Some INFINITI QX56 owners report experiencing intermittent Brake, VDC, and Slip light issues, along with fluctuating speedometers and power loss. This problem is often noted during long trips and can lead to a sequence of warning lights, including the Brake and ABS lights, followed by warm air from the AC and eventual power loss. Common causes identified include low brake fluid levels, worn brake pads, and faulty electrical connections, particularly near the brake assembly. Owners are advised to check the brake fluid level, inspect brake components for wear or leaks, and verify that all electrical connections are secure. If these issues persist, it is recommended to seek professional assistance for a thorough diagnosis and effective repairs.
