| Description of the problem | The issue is when the anti-lock brakes are engaged. After they are engaged the break pressure immediately goes soft and the brake pedal goes to the floor with no breaks. I have reported this for the past 2 years and the nissan dealership tells me that they cannot reproduce the effect and that they are fine. It only seems to happen in the winter months when its cold. I have to pull to the side of the road and shut the car down and restart again. It seems to reset the anti-lock brake system. Ive noticed there is an investigation going on and wanted to report what i have found as well. The latest happened when i was slowing down at a stop sign and hit an icy patch which then the antilock brake rumbled engaging it. After i finally stopped half way into the intersection the brake pedal went to the floor with no brake pressure what so ever.... I guided the car to the side and sat for about 15 minutes and shut down and restarted the car before brakes came back. |
