Breaks was unsafe, some piece was broken close by my tires

- San Diego , CA, USA

Brake pedal goes to the floor occasionally while applying the brakes to come to a stop. Had Nissan perform a brake system flush and still have the problem. They asked about changing out the master cylinder and the way that they asked made me believe that they might know of a problem with this year and make of car. I checked up to see if there was a recall and noticed an investigation is in progress for this problem. This problem happens in street traffic or highway when trying to slow or stop the vehicle and is intermittent in nature and still occurs after the brake flush to remove any air in the system.

It was a rainy day outside. The front and back brake pads/shoes were replaced 10,000 miles previously at a Nissan dealership in dover, oh. I was driving on normal pavement. I drove on a highway at speed limit of 70 mph. I drove on a village main St at a speed limit of 25 mph. It did not matter what speed or whether the vehicle was straight or turning: Whenever the brake pedal was depressed there was a loud clunking noise. After that, when the gas pedal was depressed there was another clunking noise. The noise was coming from the brakes. I asked a passenger to join me to test the noise and even let them drive. They confirmed. The noise suddenly stopped after 30 minutes of driving. Once it stopped we pulled over and popped the hood and smelled what seemed to be brake fluid. Checked all the fluids in the car and they were fine.

I was drviing my car on greenbelt rd, md, and noticed S stange low noise or sputtering..of some ssort. I decided to stop the car...however car did nto stop...I put in park, turned engine off...did not stop...I uesed emergency brake...did not stop...I felt it accerelated on its own..and had loss of brake effectiveness. I sounded the horn loudly to warn people. But the car kept going and going. I am a single mom, and my child was with me...for safety of life and property... I intentionally drove into a ditch. I felt like it was an unintentional acceleration and loss of brake effectiveness issue. I have called Nissan Consumer Affairs to report it, and my car is now at the dealership. I am not an expert. I need for a safety investigation into my vehicle by an independent Agency other than Nissan. I am still shaken....updated 02/13/17...updated 02/22/17 updated 08/10/2017

While operating my vehicle on a highway, at approximately 75mph, traffic slowed and I lightly depressed my brake pedal to slow my vehicle in response and no braking was detected. I pressed the pedal further to no avail. The brake pedal had to be pressed all the way to the floor before the brakes finally engaged. Thankfully, I was traveling at a safe distance behind the vehicle in front of me. Nevertheless, the experience was unsettling. Normal brake operation resumed for a short time. Within 25 miles of the last occurrence, I once again experienced the excessive brake pedal travel, followed by normal brake operation. I cautiously made my way to a Nissan dealership the next morning. The car was inspected, and the dealership confirmed the cause of the problem to be a leak in the master cylinder. Despite the 115000 miles on my vehicle, I find it quite terrifying that the failure of a component could put my occupant and I in such a perilous situation without any warning whatsoever. I have contacted the manufacture, and am awaiting further assistance/remedy.

This is an event similar to ODI resume (PE 14-018) opened on 06/24/2014 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Similar to complainant, voq 10597004, my foot was trapped by the trim panel. Panel is located next to the accelerator pedal and the lower corner is positioned such that it is near the right outer edge of the driver's shoe. Also similar to complainant 10573057, when attempting to remove my foot from the accelerator pedal to apply the brake, my shoe was caught by the trim panel which delayed braking ability several times. It is important to note that this vehicle was purchased from a rental facility, enterprise car sales in elmwood park, NJ. The photographs in ODI resume PE 14-018 illustrate the same safety issue I am having with my vehicle.... updated 03/19/15 updated 6/18/2015

I was parked in the driveway. I applied the brakes and slowly started backing down the sloped driveway, as it started rolling back faster I applied the brakes harder and they didn't work. Instead the pedal went to the floor with no response. The car continued to roll backwards and I pumped the brakes to try and get a response and just as it reached the street the brakes finally clicked back on.

I was driving on interstate 55 South. I heard a pop on the driver's side and the car crossed over into the passing lane and hit the rail. I lost all control of the car. I have injuries such as back strain, whiplash, hand contusion and thigh contusion. The car is totaled and the brake is defective and the axel on the front car is broken. I could have been killed. It is a miracle that I am alive. I was sold a defective car. I only had the car one month.
