Description of the problem | Reference total brake failure; 8 issues already reported to nhtsa on the nissan rogue, involving 8 wrecks, 5 injuries, guess they are waiting for someone to be killed before addressing the situation. I was west bound i-76 out of denver co in my 2017 nissan rouge,when we came upon an accident scene in the extreme left lane next to the east/west concrete lane divider, i slowed down with the rest of the traffic as we attempted to merge into the right lane to get around the accident, traffic was moving at about 10-15 mph or slower, as i looked at the right lane for space to merge, a car in the right lane jumped in fornt of me into the lane the accident was in, that lane was stopped, he then slammed on his brakes, i had about15-20 feet between us, i hit my brakes hard, the pedal went all the way to the floor, no brakes. I told wife to hang on we then hit his car coming in contact with his bumper hitch which stuck out about 10 inches. I was standing on the brake so hard my leg cramped up! We both got our of our cars, he saw no damage to his, got back in and left the scene as the lane had then started moving again, as we were past the accident. Actually the vehicles involved in the accident we were avoiding had been moved to the left safety lane but one a pickup was protruding into left lane of traffic causing us to have to merger to the right to pass, but still stay in basic left lane, that was when he made move in front of me.. Have been driving 64 years, 40 professionally, never had a charge accident. Now have one due to failure of the brakes on 2 year old car with 25,000 miles on it.. Not the first time for nissan as stated above, are they waiting for people to get killed before they address a major safety issue? At the least a vehicle check should be issued to nissan! We needed to rent a car from enterprise to finish our trip, over $4500 damage to the vehicle. |
