| Description of the problem | Soft brake pedal after hitting a bump. November 2016 i was going into a parking lot, as i was coming off of the pavement going onto the gravel my abs engaged and the brake pedal went to the floor. I called my nissan dealership and they felt that when i shut the car off, all systems should reset. When i did that, systems did reset and my brakes returned to normal. This has happened 3 more times since, the last time was in october 2017 and the system or abs and the soft brake issues has not reset. To this point, i have always had some brakes, though the pedal goes almost to the floor each time used. My wife, and daughter, when they drive the car, feel there are no brakes. I guess i have gotten somewhat used to them. I am convinced that something needs to be repaired, but i am reading that it may cost between $1500, and $2400 to repair. The issue is very serious because i have read that some brakes have failed and caused accidents and occupants have been injured. I feel a recall by nissan should take place, to help get these issues resolved. The issue is very expensive for us as owners to fix on our own especially when the value of the vehicle is so low. Would like to trade vehicle off, but being honest would be hard to pass issue onto the next owner. Currently, the brake pedal still remains soft and almost goes to the floor board of the vehicle. |
