| Description of the problem | In october 2018, driving in a moderate rain shower, i depressed the brake pedal normally and felt the braking action start, again normally, but when i applied more pressure, the pedal went almost to the floor before the brakes stopped the vehicle. This problem continued until i arrived home. I took the vehicle to a service facility a few days later, the brakes were working normally now. The mechanic indicated i need new brake pads on the rear wheels (the front brakes had been reworked a year prior). After the repairs the brakes worked normally for a few weeks then started getting soft again, especially during rain; this continued for 2 months. In january, 2019 i took the vehicle to a nissan dealer to have them troubleshoot the issue. They found a problem with the previous rear wheel brake repair. I had nissan repair the rear brakes and bleed the system. Everything was good for 3 weeks then while making a turn the front wheels slipped and the brake pedal had to be pushed to the floor to stop the vehicle. I later tested the brakes (in a safe location) by "slamming" on the brakes while moving 30 mph. The brakes did hold but my foot felt like it was on the floor. The softness lasted 2 days but seemed to get better when i pushed the brake pedal numerous times while the engine was off. This problem has not been resolved as of this date. I am very concerned but how do you fix an intermittent problem without throwing money at it? The brake problem has only occurred on city streets. The 2010 only has 32k miles on it. |
