Description of the problem	On sept 1, 2016, i was driving my 2008 nissan pathfinder on my daily commute to work 32 highway miles noticed the red brake light come on in the vehicle. I was surprised as my front & rear brakes were done in may 2016. On a 2 lane highway in the fast lane i decided to take my foot off the accelerator and tap the brakes to see if it would make the light go away. Much to my surprise the pedal went to the floor, i had no brakes! With a tractor trailer beside me, a car in front of me as well as behind me, after all it was rush hour traffic. I panicked! I thought this was it! Not knowing what to do, i took my foot off the gas , put on my hazards and prayed, as the car began to slow down, i was tried to move into the right lane without accelerating. I was forced then to accelerate again to be able to switch lane and it was after doing so, i was able to get to what was a half of shoulder and ride down it until i was going slow enough i through it in park. Thinking back i should have used the emergency brake. Stranded on half of a shoulder for 45 minutes before the police showed up was terrifying. I thought for sure one of the tractor trailers was going to hit me. I was so close to the guardrail i could not exit my car. A tow truck took my disabled vehicle to my garage, only to find out that my brakes worked perfectly fine. No light was able to stop on a dime. I was not imagining they failed, they did not work! My mechanic, the owner of warren brake and tire for 40 years, what he was about to find out he has never heard. The computer gave a code of c1179 delta stroke sensor signal failure. When this happens it will cause intermittent brake failure. I consider myself lucky to be alive and i want action done not only to fix my vehicle but to look at all nissans to prevent such an occurrence from happening again.
