Description of the problem | Brakes failed upon starting the car, though i didn't know it when i began to drive the car. I had several error lights come on, but i couldn't figure out what the error was, but then figure out as soon as put the car in reverse. I couldn't stop using the brakes and only got myself to stop by using the emergency brake. I was backing out of a parking spot onto a city street, but fortunately there were no cars parked behind me or any moving cars on the street. I also attempted to drive forward, albeit very carefully, assuming it was a strange one-time occurrence. But the brakes simply did not work. Upon inspecting and repairing the car (after being towed to a nissan delership) nissan informed me that the abs brake controller failed. |
