| Description of the problem | In early sept of 2016 while exiting off of the interstate i went over an uneven surface on the road and my brakes went completely soft and all the way to the floorboard. I couldn't stop my vehicle. I was so scared and had no idea what to do to avoid hitting the car in front of me. Luckily i wasn't going very fast, no one was behind me so i started furiously pumping the brakes continuously praying this would help. I was about a mile away from home so i pumped them all the way home. We took my car into eddie tourelle nissan in covington, la. On 9/6/2016 where i had originally purchased the car back in 2009. We literally had a couple of days before our extended warranty was due to expire. They changed the master cylinder thinking this was this issue. Needless to say it happened again a few weeks later and has happened several times since then. I have been fortunate so far and not gotten into a serious accident. When it happens i immediately try to pump the brakes until the pressure returns. This is extremely scary and dangerous. I never know when it will happen, there is no warning. So very scared that i will eventually get into a serious accident. |
