Description of the problem | At first the brake pedal was fading to the floor at a stop. Replaced the master cylinder. Condition better but pedal still spongy and then, additionally, when driving, at random times the brake pedal goes down 3/4 of the way before any brake pedal pressure is felt and the vehicle is able to stop. This is very scary as you are not sure if the vehicle is going to stop or not. Dealer then replaced abs actuator with no remedy to random problem. Dealer additionally replaced master cylinder again with no better outcome. Dealer unable to fix this serious brake problem even after consulting and troubleshooting with nissan engineers.

Vehicle only has 57,000 miles on it and now is on it's 3rd master cylinder and 2nd abs actuator with no safe solution as of yet. |
