| Description of the problem | The brake failure occured while driving on a city street at 35mph, it acted like the abs system failed. This happened on a saturday. I called the nissan dealer we purchased it from the following monday to get an appointment to have it checked out. The dealer got me in the next day and the tech said the brake master cylinder and sensor was defective and it needed to be replaced. The service manager for the dealer said the part was $700. 00 and labor was $400. 00-500. 00 but it would only be 80 percent fixed. The problem was a defective brake master cylinder and nissan has been aware of this since 2004 but has done nothing for anyone who owns a nissan vehicle with this problem. It was not covered under warranty. After i contacted nissan consumer relations they stated a replacement or fix for this safety problem on my vehicle was declined due to expired warranty. T he warranty had expired by time not miles. The nissan rep said it was unsafe if the brakes fail any time the vehicles driven. The nissan rep said based solely on expired warranty any repair service would be at our expence. *tt |
