Example complaints

“When coming to a stop at light, when I pushed on the break to stop, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor and car will not stop. After pumping the break several times the car will eventually stop. This has happened numerous times in the last 3 weeks. I have taken my car to the dealer and other car shops and they see no visible evidence of any problems at all. I'm at a loss and my wife and myself are terrified to drive the car anymore.”
NHTSA complaint #11266954, filed 2019-10, 70,000 miles“As I was driving down the road I went over a speed bump and my brakes went all the way down to the floorboard. I was not going fast at the time this occurred. This has happened twice now, and I was told the master cylinder and brake booster needed to be replaced. Now I am out a vehicle until I can pay $1300 to get it replaced. My warranty just expired and now I am screwed. My brakes are still not working properly and did not go back to normal.”
NHTSA complaint #11039415, filed 2017-10, 67,000 miles“My wife's Nissan Murano had been having problems with the brakes going all the way down to the floor. I took it in to Nissan dealership to get checked out finally the guy there told me that the brakes didn't act up on them so they can't diagnose the problem and that so far everything looks good. I left thinking maybe it was just the brakes getting worn out. About five months later it happened again while she was driving home. …”
NHTSA complaint #10895436, filed 2016-08, 107,000 miles“While driving my Murano and applying pressure to the brakes to stop the vehicle, the brakes are spongy and will go all the way to the floor. This is a random thing that has happened, we have had the brakes checked was told there was no problem, there are no warning indicators, I have had this happen several times in the last couple of months, once while raining, all other times the roads were perfectly fine, luckily I do not drive fast or to close to people as this is a random thing that seems to happen. …”
NHTSA complaint #11012289, filed 2017-08, 91,000 miles“Going approximately 5-10 MPH on the first occasion just rolling over rr tracks and then going 5 MPH off an exit ramp over a small bump in the road and the brakes failed/went all the way to the floor on both occasions. Based on the amount of 2011 brakes issues I have read about online tonight regarding the same going over bumps/bump/brakes failing issue, I cannot believe the 2011s have not been added to the recall. I either expect adding 2011s to the recall as the 2009's got last month or I need to know where to take my car to be repaired at no charge. …”
