| Description of the problem | While driving on a bumpy gravel road i tried to apply the brakes and there was almost no brake pressure available. Pedal could be pushed to the floor. Stopping distance was greatly increased and had there been traffic at the intersection it could have resulted in a serious accident. I pumped the brakes and got the vehicle to a level spot on the road and check brake fluid level. It was fine. I did not notice any leaks. Brake pads and rotors are within acceptable limits (passed state inspection one month ago). Managed to build up pressure by pumping brakes and got vehicle home. Nissan dealer cannot find issue. I suspect abs system triggered by bumpy gravel road. Very dangerous! No warning lights on dash at time. This needs to be investigated. |
