| Description of the problem | 2009 murano le with awd. Lost brake pedal pressure after abs activation august 2016 with 72,600 miles on it. Purchased used from new car dealer with 22k miles on it 02/02/2011. I turned into a parking lot and drove over a speed bump at about 10 mph another car pulled in front of me and i hit the brakes and abs was activated. The brake pedal was soft and went almost to the floor. I pumped the brakes and the pressure returned to normal. The brakes responded normally for a couple weeks until i braked hard to avoid another car and the abs braking again activated and the pedal went to the floor. After that the brake pressure did not return although i could stop by pumping them repeatedly. I took the vehicle to mossy nissan poway and they diagnosed the problem as a defective abs actuator and ecu which was not covered under warranty although it has been a common problem with awd muranos. Part was $1822 and labor $560. |
