| Description of the problem | The vehicle was in motion on a highway. Upon braking suddenly due to a red light, traveling approximately 40mph, the brakes lost pressure, and the pedal had to be pressed all the way to the floor to slow the vehicle. The vehicle had to veer into a turn lane to avoid collision with the cars stopped at the stop light. After being parked and shut down for 30 minutes, brake pressure returned. The vehicle has 59,817 miles. It receives regular service only at nissan dealerships, has new brake pads, and full brake fluid. This is the second time the vehicle has displayed this behavior, with the first incident occurring sometime last year though not as severely. |
