Example complaints

“Feel have a braking problem with NV 3500 2016. In normal braking seems to work well. In hard stops and panic braking pedal goes to the floor or end of travel. Feel I must pump brakes to get maximum braking and a return of pedal. Dealership and Nissan rep. Say this is a normal braking for the vehicle. I feel if I have to pump the pedal to return braking power, I might have a potential serious problem. So far Nissan has told me my brakes are normal, which I question?”
