Description of the problem	As i pressed on brakes to slow the truck down at intersection two days ago, the brake light came on and then a loud metal grinding noise came from the front! The truck now had difficulty stopping; i had to floor it in order for vehicle to come to a complete stop. I nearly rear ended the van that was in front of me! I was in the back roads so there were several stop signs/ intersections on my way home. As i continued driving and braking to slow down/ stop, the grinding noise was very loud and the truck rarely had any brake power! I was terrified and finally was able to slow down enough to pull over on to the side to breathe and calm my nerves down. I put the truck in park and checked to make sure i released the brake pedal, etc. I then continued home where i turned truck off and asked neighbor mechanic to check it for me. He turned truck back on and we drove it to test brakes. Everything was now working fine! It did not sit right with me. I researched online last night and just like the fuel gauge issue that happened a week prior, there are thousands of people affected by this brake failure! When a rep from nissan consumer svcs called earlier today to follow up regarding my truck's fuel gauge issue, i reported the brake issue. She just said "yes i'm sorry but you will have to pay for dealership to verify issue first in order for nissan to take some kind of action." unbelievable. Especially when there are reported incidents out there of this defect. Unfortunately, consumers also report that this brake issue happens intermittently so it's hard to prove/ diagnose. With a fuel gauge issue and now, brake issue, i'm more afraid to drive my truck especially with my children in it! I pray nissan will step up and do the right thing in taking responsibility of replacing/ repairing these defects. Please don't wait till there are fatalities before doing something about it.
