| Description of the problem | All of a sudden while driving my 2011 nissan murano and after driving over a slight bump on a city street in my neighborhood going about 10 mph maybe a little more i was in the process slowing down and making a u turn right in front of my house so i could park in front of our house (thank god!) my brakes failed they went to the floor very suddenly and after re-pumping brakes, i got control and was able to park my murano. Wth is going on nissan?? This was scary and i don't wish on this on anyone. My kids drive this car too. Does somebody have to be killed in order to get attention on this safety issue nissan? This needs to pro-active not re-active. We buy and drive your cars to feel safe not be scared i'm gonna hit a small bump and lose my brakes. The bump and the point where i turned around and lost braking control could not of been more than 75-100 feet away. After parking i checked my master cylinder and the brake fluid looked fine and full. I had no leaks. I am in absolute aww! At what just happened. Someone with authority please investigate this because is gonna get hurt bad or get killed. C. Herrera soon to be ex-owner of this nissan murano unless it gets fixed or recalled. |
