| Description of the problem | Brake light comes on the dash board, push brakes and it makes this grinding noise and the brakes lose most of their power. After i put the car in park, turn off engine and turn it back on light goes off. The first time it happened was in 2010.. It started happening again in 2013 a couple of times and now it does it all of the time in 2014. I have two children and a lot of the time have multiple kids in the car that do not belong to me. It is a very scary thought that the brakes will just stop working. I just got new brakes around 6 months ago and has been happening a lot more since than. I will take my car to the mechanic again and need be file every complaint with whoever i can to get this issue resolved. I have read many, many forums about people having this exact problem.. Why hasn't nissan recalled this issue??? Someone is going to die!!! |
