Description of the problem | I reported the brakes being non responsive on 10/23/17 which had also caused a minor accident as the vehicle was in motion on a bridge in winston salam nc in front of the baptist hospital. It was moving stop and go and maybe would reach 35 mph and then it wouldn't stop. I had both feet on the brakes also standing up but it continued to coast into another vehicle so slow i could see it coming but the brakes would not work. It was took into the dealership after the collision repairs and i was told everything was fine. So during this time between then and now me and my wife was scared of driving and would brake at a further distance to make sure we had brakes. There was a recall on the abs control unit and the vehicle went into the shop 11/21/18 and was kept for 9 to 10 days. Now we have brakes that work but the dealership said the recall was for a leakage not for it being non responsive. I feel that if it leaks or losses pressure it would be the cause of being unresponsive also and it would be nissan responsibly. |
