| Description of the problem | On july 22, 2016 i left work and took the interstate home. I was in the fast lane traveling about 60 mph and had not been on the interstate long. I noticed that traffic was coming to a slow stop. I applied my brakes. At first it felt normal as if my brakes were okay, but then they went all the way to the floor. I was blessed that the traffic in the right hand lane was back far enough for me to get over. I kept trying to apply my brakes and they were on the floor. The car did slow down eventually. I was able to make it home by driving extremely slow and easing to a stop starting 30 yards from the vehicle in front of me. I had my murano towed to a repair shop on saturday morning and they kept it the entire next week. I was told that when they first got in the vehicle, the brakes went to the floor again when they tried to stop. However, after that first attempt the brakes started to work perfectly. They drove it the entire week to see if the malfunction would repeat itself but it never did. I picked my car up on friday, july 29, 2016 with no assurance that the brakes would not go out again. Since the problem could not be isolated, no repairs were made. I continue to drive my car out of necessity for work but i am stressed not knowing if or when my brakes will fail again. I do have documentation from the repair shop but it is not online so i cannot load it. |
