| Description of the problem | Our 2009 murano brake pedal worked fine until 6 months ago. The pedal then started to feel very soft when pressed. I took it to a mechanic and they looked over it but couldn't find anything seriously wrong and adjusted the tension. The brakes seemed normal after but didn't last long. I then took it to a former nissan mechanic that looked into it and recommended we take it to the dealer since he couldn't find anything wrong with it and didn't want to change parts without knowing for sure. He looked into the bulletins that have been reported and felt that nissan has a serious problem with this model on their brakes. When i went to the nissan dealer they acted as if they have never heard of any brake issues with the muranos. I informed her to look at the bulletins that have been submitted but it didn't seem to matter. I had them check the murano over and they came back and said brake fluid is dirty that should fix it. Of course it didn't fix the serious issue that nissan has with brakes. |
