Description of the problem	It all started a couple months prior when my brake light was on and i could not find a leak or figure out what was going on. Then i noticed the brake fluid was leaking just couldn't find where. We realized it was the master cylinder and replaced that as well as the booster box (where it was leaking.) that master cylinder was faulty and we had it replaced again. In march i was driving 12 hours back to my hometown for vacation after being told my car was okay and mid trip i lost my brakes getting off the highway. I was able to make it to my town using the little brake i had left since this happened in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere. The shop then does my pads, calipers, rotors thinking that is the issue seeing as i've been through 2 master cylinders; that was not the problem it was another faulty master cylinder. That finally was replaced and so far so good. Thankfully nothing happened to me but i could have gotten into a bad accident. I also called nissan to be reimbursed like the campaign says and was denied. Everything about my situation fits the campaign and seeing as the situation could have been a lot worse i should at least be reimbursed for the repairs.
