| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The brakes in our 2009 nissan murano intermittently fail about once or twice a month. When a failure occurs the brake pedal goes down to the floor and the vehicle slows, but does not stop. Several occurrences required a swerve off the road to avoid a collision. Several, but not all of these occurrences were preceded by a jolt to the vehicle (pothole, railroad track, etc.). No warning lights or abs lights come on and no error codes are set. The condition lasts for a few minutes to a few hours then returns to completely normal operation. The local nissan dealership cannot find anything wrong with the vehicle and were unable or unwilling to help. |
