2015 Nissan LEAF Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1532812
Internal NHTSA #	11172483
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	LEAF
Model Year	2015
File date	06/01/19
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Brakes failed upon starting the car. Multiple warning lights on the dashboard (brake, abs, traction control, and brake system) resulting in total brake failure - cannot stop the car with normal braking even while just putting the car into drive/reverse from park. Started happening ~3 weeks ago. The only thing that stops the car is the emergency / parking brake. If pressing the brake pedal all the way, just before hitting the floor there is a loud popping / grinding noise and the parking brake (?) engages. The first time, turning the car off/on fixed it. We took it to our local nissan dealer, they said "could not find the issue in their system" and said it was a "fluke" and wouldn't happen again. Happened again a few days later and turning the car off/on didn't help, and the car was stuck in our driveway. Tried replacing the 12v battery, which fixed the issue temporarily. Happened again a few days after that and had to get it towed back to nissan. now they found the issue in their system and think it's the "driven intelligent brake unit" and costs $2600+ to fix. They also say the "main engine harness" may need to be replaced for some reason as well, costing another $2400+. Have contacted nissan usa, they told me they don't have a record of this being a problem with leafs (even though there are dozens of complaints on here) and refuses to provide assistance. This brake system is extremely unsafe for the driver & passengers, and everyone around it. My kids could have been near the car when it started moving on its own even though i was pushing the brake pedal. No one needs to die or get gravely injured because of this faulty system.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
