| Description of the problem | On feb. 6th 2020 i was driving my 2011 nissan murano (62,000 miles) at 55 mph when i came upon some traffic. When i applied the breaks they went to the floor & i had to pull onto the grass & pump the brakes till the car finally came to a stop. I was 250 miles from home so i stopped at a firestone store to check out my brakes. 5 hours later, the car was ready--they bled the air from the brake lines & when i got back on the road everything was okay. On may 29th, 2020, i was driving & coming on to a road construction crew. I went over 2 sets of speed bumps & when i applied the breaks, they went to the floor. I pumped the brakes & applied the emergency brake to stop the car because there was traffic stopped in front of me. I took the car to my local mechanic & they installed a new master cylinder & bled the brake lines 3 different times. They had the car for 1 week & the car would not stop at slow speeds till the brake pedal was almost to the floor. The car is not safe to drive. On the internet, i can see the numerous complaints about braking on the 2011 murano. There was a recall on the 2009 models & i think the 2015 models. Nissan needs to step up & correct the problem on the 2011 models. This is a very dangerous situation that requires a recall of the 2011 models. Right now the vehicle is sitting in the garage because the dealership is 65 miles away & the car is not safe to drive. |
