2015 Nissan LEAF Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

 Issue ID1420205
 Internal NHTSA #11042139

 Model Year2015

 ComponentSERVICE BRAKES
Product type codeVEHICLE
 Description of the problemI activated my vehicle by placing my foot on the brake pedal and pressing the ignition button. I placed the transmission in reverse. Immediately after, my vehicle began to move, but the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. At this point my vehicle would not stop and i frantically pumped the brake pedal. After about 5 or 6 feet of distance in reverse, my vehicle finally stopped and i placed it in park. Note: there were no prior warning lights or sounds before the brakes failed. The incident i experienced was a very close call. The parking lot i was located is frequented by many people taking exercise walks. If someone had been walking behind my vehicle when it malfunctioned, my vehicle would have struck them. Moreover, another parked vehicle was just a few more feet from where i eventually was able to stop. The dealership said the reason this happened was due to 12v auxiliary battery failure. I have asked nissan consumer affairs department multiple times over the past month (email/phone) for an explanation and they have ignored me. I would like to find out if this is a problem that may occur again and/or how it can be fixed. They will not respond to my emails or voice mails. I hope you can help in some way to get information. At the very least, make you aware of this problem. Note: i have not experienced the problem again, but am especially concerned now because nissan is ignoring me.
