| Description of the problem | On two (2) seperate occasions i have been driving my vehicle (2004 nissan maxima) when my brakes have went out completely. The brake pedal was on the floor when i went to use, leaving me with no braking power whatsoever. On both occasions, after stopping the vehicle and turning the engine off, the brakes resumed normal function after a few minutes. I took my vehicle to the nissan dealership, where it was purchased, and was told they could find nothing wrong with the vehicle. Clearly, this malfunction is the result of an electrical/computer problem. |
