| Description of the problem | For almost 2 years off & on, every six months or so, my brakes for a brief period would go to the floor as i was driving, it would happen backing up, trying to stop at a street light, or trying to slow down at an intersection. Never a specific thing, always almost to the point of not stopping. I had it checked three different times, one time the person at the dealership said don't drive it. I had it towed to the dealer to have it repaired, but worked fine when it arrived there. The final time was this past february when the brakes stayed to the floor. Nissan dealership replaced a abs actuator, after replacing the master cylinder first, which did nothing to correct the problem. This repair was not cheap. It appears the actuator may have been the cure. After all of this time i still do not feel completely safe driving my vehicle because of the on again off again problem that persisted for so long. I love this car, but i am in the process of looking to trade it in. I have had no further problem since they replaced the actuator. |
