| Description of the problem | At random times, after braking over bumps or imperfections in the road surfaces, at any speed, the brake system loses all pressure making it almost impossible to stop. When driving it in the snow, after the abs system is triggered, the brake system loses pressure, which is extremely dangerous. At one moment, i was driving very slowly down a snowy hill, when the brake system suddenly lost pressure and the abs only engaged after the brake pedal was pressed all the way to the floor. At that time, it was too late and i slid through an intersection and ended up in a ditch (with my wife and infant son in the car). Luckily, everyone else was stopped on either side of the intersection, and no damage was done to our car or anyone else's property. So far, there is no known fix for this issue, and it seems there is no research being done by nissan. They (nissan) needs to fix this before someone is injured or killed due to a faulty brake/abs system. We love our murano, but we will be trading it in on something else in the very near future. |
