2009 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

ON TWO OCCASIONS THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS GONE STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR BOARD WHEN APPLIED. THE FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS AND AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL IT ENGAGED AND BEGAN WORKING. ON THE SECOND OCCASION MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND HAD TO BRAKE AND SWERVED TO MISS HITTING THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN FRONT OF US.

MY BRAKES SOFTEN UP AND MY BRAKING DISTANCE INCREASES. MY VEHICLE NOW IS FAILING INSPECTION DUE TO THIS. THE ISSUE INCREASES WHEN I HIT A BUMP ON THE ROAD AND HIT THE BRAKES. THE PEDAL WILL LITERALLY REACH THE FLOOR. I HAVE CHANGED OUT ALL PADS AND ROTORS AND THERE ARE NO VISIBLE LEAKS OF ANY KIND ON OTHER BRAKE PARTS. THE ABS LIGHTS ARE NOT ON.

A CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES I HAD TO SLAM MINE ON TO AVOID A CRASH. MY ABS DEPLOYED AND I STOPPED WITHOUT HITTING HIM, HOWEVER MY BRAKE PEDAL NOW ENGAGES APPROXIMATELY 1 TO 2 INCHES ABOVE THE FLOOR BOARD. I STILL HAVE BRAKES BUT I DON'T THINK THE ABS WORKS. WHAT SHOULD I DO? I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET NO ONE CAN FIGURE IT OUT. 04

THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK AND PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE FIRST INSTANCE WAS AFTER A QUICK STOP. I HAD TO STOP QUICKLY WHEN SOMEONE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND THEN THE NEXT TIME I WENT TO PUT ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN A FEW HUNDRED YARDS LATER, THEY DIDN'T WORK AT ALL AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO LET THE PEDAL COME UP AND THEN PUSH IT BACK DOWN SEVERAL TIMES FOR IT TO REGAIN PRESSURE. THE OTHER TIME WAS AFTER PULLING OUT FROM A STOP, THERE WAS SOME ICE UNDER ONE OR MORE WHEEL AND THERE WAS SOME SLIPPAGE AS I STARTED FORWARD. MY NEXT NEED TO STOP ABOUT A QUARTER MILE DOWN THE ROAD, I WAS UNABLE TO AND THE PEDAL AGAIN WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO PUMP THE PEDAL MANY TIMES TO GET PRESSURE BACK AND FOR THE BRAKES TO WORK.

THE BRAKES ARE FADING AFTER I COME TO A STOP, MEANING WHEN I STOP AND MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE PEDAL WILL SLOWLY GO TO THE FLOOR. IT TAKES A GREATER DISTANCE FOR ME TO STOP.

STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH BRAKE PEDAL FEELING SOFT HAD BRAKE FLUID CHECKED, AND FLUID LEVEL WAS OKAY. THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTED TO FEEL OKAY. ON MAY 4TH 2017 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE AND WENT OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD RIGHT BEFORE A STOP LIGHT. WHEN SHE TRIED TO STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO STOP. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, ABOUT 3 MILES USING THE BACK ROADS AND THE PARK BRAKE TO STOP. THE DEALER CALLED AND SAID THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE ACTUATOR NEED TO BE REPLACED AND WILL COST OVER $3,000.00. THE WORK IS SUPPOSE TO BE DONE TODAY. I HATE TO HAVE WORK DONE IF THIS WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM A RETIRED NISSAN EMPLOYEE AND HAVE OWNED MANY NISSAN VEHICLES AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM UNTIL NOW. THANKS

BRAKING POWER REDUCED/LOST, EVEN WHEN FULLY APPLY BRAKES. (THIS HAS HAPPEND A FEW TIME, BUT THEY WOULD RESTORE AS FAST AS THEY WOULD OCCUR. ) THIS TIME, I WAS ABLE TO HAVE THE DEALER VALIDATE BRAKE LOSE. THEY REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER AND THEY REPORTED ISSUE STILL THERE. THEY ARE NEXT LOOKING AT ABS. VEHICLE STILL AT THE DEALER.

I'VE ENCOUNTERED THE PROBLEM OF THE BRAKE PEDAL LOSES PRESSURE, CAUSING INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES. 3-4 INCIDENTS HAPPENED WHERE I NARROWLY AVOIDED THE ACCIDENT EITHER QUICKLY CHANGING THE LANE OR PRESSING THE BREAK PEDAL MULTIPLE TIMES TO GAIN THE PRESSURE ALL THOSE INCIDENT SCARED ME TO MY DEATH. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS AFTER BUMPING ON A POT HOLE/MAN HOLE AND THEN BRAKING ON A LOW-FRICTION SURFACE SUCH AS A MANHOLE COVER AND PEDAL WEN TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAPPENED WITH I WAS DRIVING ON THE CITY LOCAL ROADS AT SPEED BETWEEN 25-35 MILES PER HOUR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWO TIMES IN THE RECENT MONTH FEB-MAR 2017. I'D REQUEST NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE .

AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR 2-17-17, I BEGAN HAVE DELAYED ACCELERATION WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM A FULL STOP OR AFTER COMING TO A NEAR STOP. THIS HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY AT FIRST, BUT HAS BECOME MORE AND MORE REGULAR. WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED THE OTHER DAY BEHIND A FEW CARS, I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE FOR CLOSE TO A MINUTE. ALSO, OCCASIONALLY AFTER REACHING A HIGHER GEAR, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO STICK IN A LOWER GEAR.

I HAVE REPLACED THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER IN THIS VEHICLE TWICE. BOTH TIMES, THE BRAKES WOULD INEXPLICABLY LOSE PRESSURE, WITH THE PEDAL TRAVELING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE TWO REPLACEMENTS WERE DONE BY THE DEALER WITHIN A YEAR OF EACH OTHER. THE FIRST WAS A WARRANTY REPAIR, THE SECOND HAPPENED OUT OF WARRANTY. I SAW AN ARTICLE INDICATING THIS PROBLEM WAS BEING INVESTIGATED AND DECIDED TO ADD MY COMPLAINT.
