| Description of the problem | I had a brake failure at power on issue on my 2016 nissan leaf sl. Nothing on the dash alerted me. The brakes did work, but it seemed like no vacuum assist, so had to press really hard. Towed to a dealer. Replaced the 12v battery. Very scary, i rolled out into an intersection and luckily i was not in an accident or ran over a pedestrian. |
