| Description of the problem | Brake pedal goes all the way down and vehicle does not stop. I notice online that a lot of customers are having the same problem with this year and vehicle model. I have read how they had to spend a lot of money on parts and labor because the mechanics couldn't figure out the problem, so they started during power of elimination. I had my mechanic try to find out what was wrong and he tried replacing master cylinder which cost me several hundreds of dollars and the problem remained. I then took it to nissan dealership and they said it was the abs hydraulic control unit which would cost me $3000 dollars parts and labor, the part a lone cost $1900 dollars. During my investigation many many people are having the same problem and it is said that a recall may be being looked at. Consumers are getting in to car accidents because of this faulty brake system and it seems that no one will address until someone dies. There are no warning lights on the abs system nor does the dealership knows why this is happening. To charge this much for a part is totally ridiculous!!! Feel free to call me at anytime for more details on this issue [xxx] denver colorado consumer. I may take further actions if this issue is not address, at the end of the day it should be safety first!!! Not making quotas and paying investors.
