| Description of the problem | 2009 nissan murano loses brake pressure after hitting bumps while braking. Brake pedal goes soft and driver is required to push brake pedal 3/4 of pedal travel before brakes enact. We've owned this vehicle 05/2015 and this is the 4th rime this has happened. Vehicle is in this condition presently. Once stopped the vehicle stays put. The symptom corrects itself between a few hours to 1-2 days. I've had a local dealer look at vehicle but symptom was gone on arrival. At their suggestion, they replaced the brakes. It's very sporadic as to when it happens or the severity of the bumps to cause issue. The brakes fluid is clean and at proper level, rotors are in good shape, and no warning or abs lights on dashboard. There also has been no codes thrown by computer. I removed and reseated abs fuse but issue still remains. A quick online search reveals multiple owners having same issue since at least 2010. Although the brakes don't fail entirely, it can cause accidents when pedal travel requirements change upon braking. It may be a pre-cursor to a complete failure if not addressed. |
