| Description of the problem | I was coming to a stop light and all of a sudden, the brake light indicator light on the dash came on, the vehicles brake system was acting erratic every time i pressed on the pedal. Seems like the abs took over and assumed that the vehicle was loosing traction. The light stayed on and so was the problem with the brake system as i pressed the brake pedal. I pulled over to the curb and turned off the car, walked around assuming something was under the car and there was nothing. Started the car and the and the brake light on the dash went away and so did the problem. This has happened to me twice and is very unsafe when driving in traffic. There is a forum on nissanhelp where this issue has happened to many people and the problem is not resolved when the vehicle is taken to the dealership to get the problem fixed. Please help with this issue as it is unsafe to drive the vehicle because the light comes on unexpectedly and goes away when the vehicle is restarted and untraceable. |
