| Description of the problem | Two times my 2009 nissan murano has had brake issues after the abs was engaged. The first time i was trying to stop at a corner. There was a little bit of snow on the ground. My abs engaged and then i couldn't stop at all. I was able to take a right at the intersection and realized that the only way i could stop my vehicle was to depress the brake pedal completely to the floor. Never before had i been able to depress it that far. I pulled the car over and shut it off. After depressing the brake pedal 3 times it felt like normal. I brought the car to our mechanic and he said there was nothing structurally wrong with our brakes. 2 weeks later my husband was trying to stop at a corner when it was the snowing and the same thing happened again. He pulled it over, shut down the car, pumped the pedal and it came back to normal. When i got home i googled this problem and saw all of these people with the same issue. I can't believe that neither nissan or the government has done anything yet. Are they waiting for a fatality? |
