| Description of the problem | Brake pedal went all the way to the floor after hitting a bump in pavement. Turned vehicle off and was able to restore braking. This happened multiple times with first incident in april 2015. Vehicle was taken to nissan dealership on various occasions. Was kept overnight but mechanics could not duplicate problem. Was told they had no other similar complaints. In september we took to mechanic who suggested new master cylinder. Worked temporarily. January had another incident after having to hit brakes hard, had no brakes. Beyond frightening. Went back to mechanic and he wanted to replace abs but only nissan could make repair. Back to dealer and spent $2800 replacing abs. Believe it should not have been this difficult for them to diagnose problem. Spent a year feeling unsafe, never knowing when brakes might fail. |
