| Component | SERVICE BRAKES |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Once the abs has engaged (slipping on snow), the brake pedal will go to the floor and loses all pressure. So rather than just momentarily releasing the brake pressure and pulsating it on/off, it remains in the off position. This is the 5th instance of this problem occurring for me. Normally the brakes go back to normal after a day or 2, but it has now been one week. A quick google search will see that there are hundreds of other 2009 muranos that have the same problem. Once the abs fires, the brakes loose all pressure. It is only a matter of time until someone is killed. Nissan is quoting a $2,000 repair bill to replace the abs acutator, which is too expensive for many people to fix. Please look into this asap.
