| Description of the problem | After an abs activation event, during subsequent brake pedal presses, there is no braking effect for the first ~80% of brake pedal travel. All braking occurs in the final 20% of pedal travel distance. This has been observed numerous times over approximately the last 12 months. Steps: - vehicle is in motion (speed usually greater than 35mph) - brake is depressed - abs engages successfully (due to some road condition causing vehicle to slide), brake pedal feel is normal - brake pedal is released - brake pedal is pressed again, without abs activation. Observed problem: for the first 80% of brake pedal travel distance, there is no braking effect. - pedal feel may return to normal within a few seconds. In some cases, pedal feel has taken up to 30 minutes to return to normal. In several cases, the vehicle was pulled over and re-started in an attempt to get brake pedal feel to return to normal (this usually seemed to work). Initially this was diagnosed by a third-party mechanic, who recommended that the vehicle be taken to a nissan-certified service center for repair. It was this mechanic and the customer's opinion that this is the same defect that 2009 muranos have been recalled for (nhtsa campaign 18v916000), due to similarity in model year, parts and symptoms. Nissan service center reproduced the problem and indicated the abs actuator as the suspect root cause. Have contacted nissan customer care with this information - they stated that since the vehicle is not under warranty and there are no recalls for it, nissan will offer no goodwill or assistance for this issue. I was told they will investigate, but that i should not expect any response or feedback. Abs actuator part number: 47660 1sw0a |
