My daughter was leaving a parking lot in our 2011 Nissan Versa and the steering locked and so did the brakes. She was unable to stop and rolled into a parked car. She was able to pull the emergency brake. She narrowly missed a ravine leading to a highway.
The contact owned a 2011 Nissan Versa. While driving 30 mph, the steering seized and the brakes failed to stop the vehicle. Prior to the failure, the windshield wipers activated, the interior and exterior lighting flashed, and the doors locked and unlocked. The vehicle crashed into a pole. The driver suffered from bruises to the upper chest and burned hands due to the air bag deployment. The passenger sustained bruises to the chest and waist area. Medical attention was received at the scene of the accident. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a repair shop. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 1,100.
On 11/29/2014 I was I was traveling on a state hwy at 55 miles per hour at a mild descent in elevation in the rain while approaching a red traffic signal and intersection approximately 1/4 mile ahead. When I applied the brakes to slow down the pedal went flat to the floor, I reapplied at least five times over and experienced the same response. I then went to apply the emergency brake and reapplied the brake pedal simultaneously and at that time it was so overly sensitive that it over-broke and nearly caused a crash.
