| Description of the problem | While driving in traffic, went to apply brakes to stop, vehicle shuttered and it seemed as though the anti-lock brakes were engaging. But the roads were not slippery or wet, no snow or ice on roads. It seemed as though the brakes were not gonna stop the vehicle in time, swerved over hit the curb to avoid accident. Had vehicle towed, vdc. Anti slip & brake lights were illuminated at this time. Paid tow bill, paid dealer to: replace brake booster, wheel sensors, brake pads, rotors and two times for labor rate to try and diagnose issue. After dealer failed to admit there was an issue, but continued to just replace parts. I finally carried it to a local mechanic, he explained nissan has an issue that they are not recalling. The only temporary resolution is to unhook the battery when it appears. Sadly, i feel nissan has profited from thousands of customers relying on the dealerships knowledge that has not been informed by nissan mfg. Of how to resolve this issue. I believe a recall is needed immediately!!!!! |
