| Description of the problem | I was driving along and the brake light came on and when i pressed on the brake an awful spongy crunching noise. Brakes don't work. This has happened several times. I brought it to the nissan thousand oaks dealer (where i bought it) and they told me they couldn't replicate the issue and no code showed up. Each time i had to turn off the vehicle and turn it back on to reset the brake light. Nissan told me to "bring it in" the next time it happens... Unfortunately, it is not safe to drive once this happens. I have brought this up several times at the dealer with no fix. However, now i'm seeing a lot more people online posting the exact same issue and getting no resolution from nissan. This is the brakes we're talking about here... |
