| Description of the problem | The vehicle was purchased out, and out of the warranty period. On multiple occasions, the brakes have had near total failures. A grinding sound and stutter occur and braking power is greatly reduced. The brake light illuminates on the dash. After restarting the vehicle the problem immediately goes away and has disappeared for days or months before randomly occurring again. The local dealer could not diagnose the problem unless it was driven to them with the light on, however, it is unsafe to drive with the condition. Both the dealer and nissan consumer affairs claim they have no knowledge of the issue, or have offered a fix for the problem. |
