Description of the problem	8/22/12 while driving in daytime normal conditions was stopped at a red-light, turned right onto a very busy 4 lane divided road, brake light on dash came on and brakes made a grinding/spring popping kind of sound and "grabbed" or stopped jerkily when i pushed on the brake pedal again to slow to a stop at the next red-light. Took extra distance to stop due to decreased brake power/strength, luckily i was the first car in line at the red-light. Turned off the road and into a parking lot with brakes continuing as noted above, sat in parking lot until my father in law arrived. I turned engine off to take my car key off my keyring so my f-i-l could drive my car home or to the shop, the brake light was off then and the brakes worked normally. Had vehicle checked with code-reader which didn't read any errors, husband changed brake pads and ensured fluids were at appropriate levels, brakes continued to function normally. 9/10/12 driving in normal daytime conditions, stopped at red-light on extremely busy 6 lane road, turned left onto another street, experienced same problem described above, videoed issue with iphone as drove around empty parking lot. Parked and turned engine off, husband came and drove car to dealership, brakes functioned normally. Online research revealed hundreds of owners with this complaint, some with complete brake failure, is said to be abs system engaging for no reason d/t brake booster problem. Dealership charged my husband $100 to "diagnose" problem, determined to be brake booster issue, stated nissan not responsible for cost of repair which could be $500-$1000. Nissan notified of issue by my husband, rec'd case #, waiting on response from nissan as to what they are going to do. Very dangerous situation, could've easily resulted in severe accident and catastrophic injuries to myself, my child, and my husband.
