| Description of the problem | We started experiencing problems with a very low brake pedal about 3 weeks ago. It was sporadic and would get better after pumping the brakes repeatedly but return after a few days. Went to one repair shop and they suggested new brakes pads and front rotors. We had this done and the brakes seemed fine for a few days but then returned to the low pedal. Went to another repair shop and they indicated that a new master cylinder was needed. Had this done yesterday and again the brakes seemed ok but went back to a low pedal while driving home. From what i've read in the other complaints listed, this is the same issue experienced by others and given the potential for a major accident and injuries, i can not understand why nhtsa has not required a recall. We have now spent over $1,200 for repairs that likely were not needed. I do not intend to pay for a new abs controller. Nissan needs to take ownership of this problem and provide a fix at no cost. |
