| Description of the problem | I was driving around 60 mph with my kids in the vehicle and push the brakes to stop at a stop sign and the brakes just went out. The brake light came on and stayed on. Grace of god there was nothing in front of me!!! The brakes was making a loud noise and felt like the wheels was about to come off. Finally i got the car to stop and pulled over to check and did not see anything out of the ordinary. I turn the car off and was scared to move it. I was getting ready to call a tow truck just before i started the car back up and the brake light was off and the truck seemed like nothing happened. This happens on several occasions with no warnings what so ever!!! I took it to nissan and they are saying it needs a brake booster which will cost around $1600. I contacted nissan about this because looking online it is thousands and thousands of people having the same issues with these trucks. They refused to help saying it is no recall on this issue. Now someone have to step up and recall these vehicles because i can guaranty its been deaths behind this issue!!! I am a disabled veteran with a wife and 3 kids and this truck is dangerous! I am reaching out to a lot of people including lawyers for veterans and i will not stop until the president of the united states tell me its nothing he can do! That is my next step! All you have to do is look online at all the complaints. Cnn has already been contacted as well, thanks! |
