| Description of the problem | For the past several weeks the car has had very soft brakes, depressing to the floor before weakly braking. It seemed to come on abruptly with no clear precipitant. Pumping the brakes temporarily improves the issue, but only for a number of seconds. The issue has not prevented us from driving the car, but extra care has been needed in maintaining distance from the vehicle in front and we know it needs to be addressed. Today, i took the vehicle to my mechanic who says the issue seems to be with the abs unit, but requested we get a second opinion due to the high cost of replacement ($2500). I did some investigating and see that your administration conducted an investigation on 2009 murano's for the exact same issue. On this complaint database there are over 20 reports of this same problem with 2010 models, not to mention the multitude of issues reported elsewhere; however, there has been no recall or investigation. The abs unit itself, when shopping for a replacement, is apparently the same as that in the 2009. Why has there not been a recall on the 2010? Are we waiting for someone to die in an accident? |
