Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | When the car is powered on, the brakes do not engage; the car lunges forward or backward as if in gear, despite constant pressure on the brakes. The only way to stop the sudden movement is by throwing the car into park again. It first happened in 2017, was serviced by a local dealer, but started happening again in 2019. Contacted nissan and they say there is no record of this being a problem and suggested i go to a different dealer - i will need to pay to have the car towed to the dealer as it is unsafe to drive. |
