| Description of the problem | While driving my nissan murano i hit a small pothole. I hit the brakes and felt that the brake pedal touched the floor, no pressure what so ever. I assumed it must have been because of the pothole and didn't think anything was wrong. But when i approached the next traffic light and tried to brake; the car did not break and continued into the middle of the intersecting street before stopping. Thank god there were no cars comming! I took it to the nissan and according to them; fixed the brake with no charge to me. Conclusion: lost of break pressure after hitting a small pothole and a significant delay in break reaction afterwards. No break pressure and pedal had to touch the car floor in order to break with a delay reaction. |
