NHTSA complaint #11372373, filed 2020-10, 96,000 miles“I was veering off a rural highway in a 2012 Nissan Murano onto a gravel parking area and started braking when I became aware that while applying brakes the peddle was not stopping the vehicle. I had to press very hard on brakes and it eventually stopped. I was probably going 30 MPH.
