| Description of the problem | The red brake light comes on intermittently when not pressing the pedal. Then when i try to stop it's as though i only have abs brakes. I hear the sound of the anti locks working and the vehicle shudders. It takes extra space and force to stop when this happens and there is no warning other than the light coming on. The problem goes away when you turn the vehicle off and back on. I have asked two different nissan dealers if they have heard of the issue and both have said no which is odd considering there are hundreds of online posts and a class action law suit. Here is a link to a you tube video of the issue. Http://youtu. Be/jvcrd2lxti8. |
