| Description of the problem | The brake light in my vehicle came on while i was driving home on the highway 235 (md) road. When i applied the brakes it made what seems to be grinding noise. The brakes went soft luckily the i was near a shoulder and avoided a near rear end with another vehicle. I was close to a gas station. I pulled into the gas station with the grinding noise. I went outside to see if there were an brake leaks or any brake issues and noticed nothing. I turned on the truck and the brake light was gone and the brakes were normal. I took the truck to my dealer and sheehy nissan stated it was the power brake vacuum booster. Nissan dealer stated they had a notice on this issue. Due to safety concerns. I had it fixed - well $1,428. 45 later. The sad part - this truck only has 15647 miles and lightly used. Seems that there are similar issues with the brakes on nissan titans on the nhtsa website. Invoice of the services performed are uploaded. Did remove personal information per instructions on the nhtsa website. |
