“I found while researching an issue on my Nissan Sentra 2007 that there was a recall on the master cylinder in 2008 because the same issue that just happened to me could happen. I never received a recall notification and apparently I was not on the list but my brake light came on and I had the maintenance shop check my brakes they said my pads were fine. That I was probably having an issue with the warning light. 2 weeks ago I got in my car and when I went to brake I had to push my foot all the way to the ground. …”
NHTSA complaint #11376906, filed 2020-11, 150,000 miles“My 2007 Nissan Sentra caught on fire while I was driving on the highway. No warning lights came on, no noise, just stalled and I was not able to pull off the road. Car was a total loss. I had taken it in to the dealer for 2 recalls (brake master cylinder and airbags) last year, but was told my car cleared both.”
NHTSA complaint #10357823, filed 2010-09, 47,800 miles“I was involved in a car crash, november, 2007. I put my foot on the brake when I noticed a sign saying loose gravel. The car spun and I wound up in a ditch. The passengers and I were transported to the hospital. The car was totaled out and I could not afford to retrieve it from the car pound.”
NHTSA complaint #10253565, filed 2009-01, 4,000 miles“I was driving my car on the freeway and saw a small group of cars stopped in the road. I went to put on my brakes and nothing happened so I kept trying to brake pushing all the way down to the floor. I wedged myself between the SUV in front of me and the truck next to me. Also got rear ended by another vehicle. Air bags deplloyed and I received a few scratches bruises and muscle strain. I went to look up recalls about a month ago for my vehicle. Apparently my VIN is an invalid number. I received a ticket for failure to maintain my speed.”
NHTSA complaint #10959661, filed 2017-03, 98,000 miles“While going on up and down steep hills in a city all of a sudden the engine stalls and the breaks stop working. This happened to me several times and to my luck as there was no traffic I got escaped without any accidents. Both the times I stopped the vehicle by shifting it to the parking mode. Some times the steering also automatically shifts to manual mode and the steering becomes tight. So the issues are with both the brakes and steering and this could be a computer/communication glitch which is not communicating with the brakes properly. …”
