| Description of the problem | We have had two incidents now where the brakes have failed on our 2009 murano. After hitting a pot hole while entering an intersection, i tried to turn right. I went to hit my brakes in the turn but found they were not working. I pushed the pedal to the floor with no change. I then repeatedly pumped the breaks to get some kind of traction and was eventually able to come to a stop. Because of my location in the intersection, i then had to continue to clear the area. The brakes continued to be "soft" until i was able to get to a safe place. I turned the vehicle off and restarted after several minutes. The brake system appeared to reset and i had no further problems. The first occurrence with brakes failing was several weeks ago, the same thing happened while my daughter was driving. She hit a bump in the road, and then lost all braking. Her speed was minimal and she was able to stop. The vehicle was turned off and restarted and there were no other problems until today. New brakes and rotors were put on approximately 9 months ago. |
