Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The morning of november 9th, 2018 i attempted to start the vehicle after having been parked overnight in our garage. When i pressed the brake pedal, i did not feel any resistance. After pressing the on button, i felt the pedal resist and vibrate. I heard a grinding sound from behind the pedal and warning lights illuminated for brakes and esc. The vehicle would not start so i had it flatbed towed to the nissan dealership. They determined the electronic brake controller had failed and required replacement. The dealership and nissan jointly covered the cost of the repair, to their credit. I am concerned this component could fail while driving and result in a loss of braking force, creating an unsafe situation. |
