Description of the problem | I own a 2005 nissan titan pickup which i drive mainly in the winter due to my job requiring me to go into work in every snow storm. I have only 128,000 mi on my truck. The truck sits in the summer to save on gas. After the truck sat for three months this summer had to change a leaky oil pan from rust. Once that was fixed i took it out to ready it for inspection. While driving came to a stop sign brake pedal went to floor. Tried pumping pedal and had no brakes at all. Engaged the e brake and had very little yet next to no stopping from that. Ended up constantly pumping brakes with no secondary circuit engaging. I continued to go through 2 more stop signs before i was able to coast to a stop. Luckily it was later at night and there wasn't many cars on the road or i would have been in a bad accident. After getting the truck towed home i had pulled the left front inner fender liner out to discover 2 junction blocks with 3 lines coming in and going out. All three lines had burst at the same time causing me to loose all brakes. I took a picture of this so everyone can see. Nissan should provide an extra covering or something to keep the road salt from getting to these lines because as these trucks get older i am sure people will experience the same thing as me but, may not be as lucky to avoid a bad crash. |
