| Description of the problem | I left work and was driving down the highway and attempted to stop and the brake pedal began vibrating and the brake booster was making a horrid noise and i had to put the vehicle in low gear to get it to slow in bumper to bumper traffic. Today 03/10/2015 i received a letter regarding a class action lawsuit in regards to a sensor within the brake booster stating i needed to file a claim in order to receive compensation for repairs, although the case has not been settled and the is no final court date until 05/15/2015 and we may not be reimbursed until september or later.. I need my vehicle repaired immediately and don't have time to file a claim nor do i have money to be out of pocket on a manufacturer defect. Nissan has not notified their consumers of this issue and this is the first thing i have heard of it from this law firm. I am positive there have probably been accidents directly related to this issue which nissan seems to be covering up. Nissan needs to issue a recall and repair this brake booster immediately and nisaan consumers need to be notified immediately. This brake booster issue includes 2004-2008 nissan titan, armada, and infiniti qx56 with vdc. |
