| Component | SERVICE BRAKES |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | I was going down 4 lane hwy and started to slow down approaching intersection. The brakes went all the way to the floor and started shaking violently. It felt like the vehicle was going to shake off the axel. I just knew i was going to hit the car next to me. I had to drive home 15 mph because every time i touched the brakes the car would violently shake to the point of pulling me off of the road. When i shut the car off and restarted it, it must have fixed the problem temporarily. It has happened 2 more times. I recently started looking online for any info on the matter and found that it is happening pretty regular to people with the same model and make as mine and also in a pretty close time frame. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that this is a defect. A very dangerous defect that should be fixed by nissan before someone gets killed. |
