| Description of the problem | I was driving along in traffic at between 30-40 miles per hour following about 3+ car links behind, i went to make an emergence stop and had very diminished braking power and ended up hitting the back of another vehicle. I had this problem before (lucky not hitting someone) and took it to my nissan deal where i was told there are no brake problems. I have since had the problem multiple times and my dealership cannot find the problem. I have expressed to nissan usa that the problem sounds very familiar to the reports in their open recall "tem affected: service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:master cylinder date announced: 10/21/2013 description of recall: nissan north america, inc.
