VIN: [XXX] Vehicle: 2024 Nissan Pathfinder Defect Description: The vehicle is experiencing a critical safety defect in its Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) system, causing unprompted, aggressive application of the rear brakes. Safety Risk: The aggressive, automatic braking occurs without driver input or obstruction, creating an immediate crash risk due to sudden, unpredictable deceleration in traffic. Resulting Damage: This electronic malfunction has caused extreme, rapid, and uneven wear on the rear brake pads (measured at 2mm) while the front pads remain "like new." Manufacturer Response: Both the dealership and Nissan Consumer Affairs refuse to perform a warranty diagnostic on the electronic system. They insist on classifying this safety defect as simple, customer-paid "wear and tear, " thereby avoiding the investigation of the underlying electronic malfunction. Request: I request the NHTSA open an investigation into the 2024 Nissan Pathfinder's EBD system for systemic failure resulting in unsafe, unprompted braking events and premature, dangerous brake failure.
