Description of the problem	I was entering a parking lot and turning into a parking spot. As i applied the brakes the brake pedal went to the floor and the car proceed towards a brick wall and window. I immediately started pumping the brakes and got a "soft pedal" just off the floor and the car stopped just before crashing into a major grocery store window. Being experienced with cars i immediately checked the master cylinder for fluid which was full. Checked all the wheels for leaks and were dry as well as the lines. I went into the store and called for someone to pick me up. On returning to the car about 30 minutes later i started the car and applied the brakes and found them to be normal. On doing some online research have found this has happened to many people that drive the same platform vehicle not just the pathfinder. Unitl this problem is identified and corrected there easily could be a major accident involving injurys. I am now driving my pathfinder with the vdc button in the off position and it was suggested that i also remove the abs fuse as there is somekind of conflict between the computer systems software causing the brake system to shutdown. Some people have spent $1,000 of dollars having systems rebuilt replacing master cylinders, pads and rotors only to find it has not corrected the problem. Repeating this not just the 2009 pathfinder problem but includes all nissan vehicles that share the same platform and braking system.
