| Description of the problem | First occurrence noted in nov 2011. While driving, had sudden loss of braking power, with brake light on, groaning noise, stiff braking motion. Was able to stop vehicle, although with greatly reduced power. Turned vehicle off, and problem was gone upon restarting. Took it in to dealer, who reprogrammed vdc. This did not fix the problem. Have had re-occurrence on numerous occasions, but noting increasing frequency. Had front brakes replaced last week. Noted same problem driving home from brake replacement. Called two area nissan dealers today, and was told they were completely unfamiliar with this problem. Please keep in mind that i had the vdc reprogrammed at one of these dealerships in 2011. I have researched this problem, and see countless other consumers have had the same experiences. I would like to know how to fix this problem, definitively. |
