| Description of the problem | Replaced abs pressure sensor after abs warning light was illuminated in 5/'14 and reprogrammed abs control module. Originally heard squeaking coming from the front end when brakes were engaged. It sounded like a shock or strut problem to me. I took it to a mechanic and engaged the brakes to duplicate the squeaking. The brake pedal pulsated and i heard a loud, grinding noise as i braked. Also, there was very little braking capacity. Brake light was lit on the dashboard. Turned engine off, and it seemed to reset itself. Brakes were working fine after that. I took it to nissan for service, but they couldn't find anything wrong. The squeaking was attributed to aged bushings in the front end and were lubricated. It started to squeak again one day last week. As i was driving, i noticed the brake light come on. I braked and again heard the grinding noise coming from the brakes, the pulsating brake pedal, and decrease in braking. Because i was afraid to drive it, i had it towed to nissan and they said there was nothing wrong with it and to not worry. |
