Service brakes
41 reports
“On a continuing basis, while vehicle is in motion, applying the brakes causes brake pedal to sink to the floorboard with loss of braking power and with loud grinding noise coming from front of vehicle. Turning vehicle off then back on temporarily fixes the issue.”
Fuel system, gasoline

“I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND I LOST POWER STEERING. ALTHOUGH MY GAS GAUGE SAID 1/4 TANK, THE END RESULT WAS THAT I RAN OUT OF GAS. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR A PREVIOUS RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY IT DIDN'T WORK, AND THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS ONE OF MY KIDS COULD BE DRIVING, OR IT COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WHAT CAN I EVEN DO TO REPAIR IT, IF THE FIRST REPAIR DIDN'T WORK?”
