| Description of the problem | While driving on the road, after my car hit a raccoon the break pedal went soft and lost pressure totally and the car was not stopping. I was eventually able to get the car stopped after a few hundred meters by using the parking break. The break pedal was pressed completely to the floor and no pressure at all. I was lucky to be able to stop the car without collision with the break sudden out of control, but really in a panic with extreme concerns of my driving safety. I turned off the car for a while and turn back on, the break returned to normal and i could drive my car home slowly. I brought my car to the dealer next day and the issue seems well known by the dealer but they have nothing to do to solve it. This break issue happened few times before while driving over a bump. I found this is most likely the same abs motor modulator issue others have claimed, nissan should set a recall to fix this asap to avoid tragedies on the road. |
