| Description of the problem | When i hit a pot hole or bump in the road my brake pedal goes all the way to the floor and i may or may not have some braking. Takes a little time for pedal too become firm again. This has happened 4 times over the past year. No warning light comes on and it appears that there is a problem in the abs system. From all complaints on line nissan does not know what is causing brake failure. I am removing the abs fuse so i will have dependable brakes until nissan can determine what needs to be done besides replacing whole abs system. Have 88,000 miles on car. This is a very dangerous situation since brakes appear most of time to be fine, cannot understand why there is no warning light or code when this occurs. |
