| Description of the problem | The following complaint is focused on my 2009 nissan murano. Beginning in spring 2016 i have experienced several instances of break compromise including one that caused me to go through a red light, thankfully no accident occurred. Brake failure has occurred on freeway driving and city driving. These brake episodes occur with no warning and result with the break pedal going to the floor while the car was in motion. I've taken the car to three dealers. All three service centers said they have never heard of this condition. One claimed that this type of failure was impossible. I recently read there are others to experience this brake problem. I wish to add my complaint to theirs. I hope that by bring to light this dangerous defect, that you will force nissan to step up with a no cost remediation. |
