| Description of the problem | I have had 3 brake issues in less than 2 weeks. My vehicle has 74,000 miles on it and is maintained per manufacturer recommendations. Brake pads and rotors are a year old and passed inspection. The first occurrence i was driving 35 mph and hit a manhole cover. The brakes went spongy and went to the floor. I pumped the brakes a few times and they returned. The second occurrence i was driving around 40 mph and coming around a curve and the same thing happened. The third time it was snowy and very slick. Upon braking on a turn, the abs engaged and i lost all brakes again. These experiences were very scary as i had not control over my vehicle. I use this to transport my grandchildren and the fact that i can loose control over the ability to stop my vehicle intermittently is very alarming. The dealer replaced the master cylinder (with no documented failure). The second occurrence happened less than 5 days later and i brought it back to the dealer where they replaced the abs hydraulic control unit,which cost $3000 for parts and labor! This needs to be recalled as it is dangerous. I have lost faith in nissan as they have not addressed this issue! |
