| Description of the problem | My wife and daughter have had issues with the brakes going all the way down and not stopping the vehicle on more than one occasion. I have contacted nissan with this issue and they said they would have to replicate the problem to resolve it. The hard part is this is totally random. Driving this car is like playing russian roulette. Both times my wife and daughter were driving, applied the brakes to stop at a stop sign and the peddle went all the way to the floor. Luckily no one was around. Both incidents they kept pumping the brakes until they started working again. I brought the possible recall up to the service tech and he asked for the vin and said the vehicle does not have any recalls at this moment. So are we suppose to drive the vehicle and hope the brakes do not fail? This is a major safety issue and we are at the point of trading in the vehicle and never buying a nissan again if that's how they treat the safety of their nissan owners. By the looks of these reports, more and more drivers are starting to complain. Why is it taking so long to announce recall when the lack of doing so could possibly take someone's life? |
