| Description of the problem | During normal braking on bumpy road at about 40mph , brake pedal suddenly dropped almost all the way to the floor and braking capability was much reduced. Drove home carefully and checked brake fluid level - ok. Tried restarting car and at rest the pedal was still going almost to floor. No error indications on dash. I googled the issue and found numerous complaints about these symptoms on the 2009 murano and suggestions to reset the the abs module. I pulled the abs fuse and restarted car again. Pedal now firm and fixed. Replaced fuse, pedal still ok strongly suggesting that the abs was at fault. This sudden failure resulted in partial loss of braking capability and is thus a serious safety issue that i hope you will investigate given the number of almost identical complaints. |
