2014 Nissan Versa Note Brakes Problems

“My vehicle, unless I'm an exerting more pressure than necessary on the brakes, will lurch forward when the air conditioner fan kicks on. If I'm not consciously paying attention to pressing hard on the brake, the car will start to drift forward even at a standstill. The brakes do not brake smoothly. It is not a gradual smooth stop, it feels like slamming on the brakes with every stop.”

“While traveling out a country road, I was coming up to a stop sign at the bottom of a hill. When I made an attempt to stop, I had no brakes what so ever. I could see that there was no traffic coming from either direction so I made an attempt to make the turn on to the roadway but had no steering either. With no way to control the car I ended up going straight through the stop sign, across the road, through a tree stump and into the side of an abandoned house. …”

“First time vehicle had just started and steering and brakes were locked. Car was shut down and started again and it was ok. The second time vehicle was pulling out of a driveway into street and brakes and steering locked up. Emergency brake had to be used. My 18 year old daughter drives vehicle and I drive on freeway to work. If this were to happen on the freeway or anywhere in traffic serious injury may result. This model is known for faulty transmissions but not sure if this is related. I am taking it to dealer metro Nissan redlands, ca. On 8/24/19.”

“While using the air conditioning compressor (A/C, defroster) the car while at a stop, or while driving at slow speeds under 10 m.p.h. Will cause the car to surge forward unexpectedly. I can have my foot firmly pressing the brake pedal down, and can feel the vehicle struggling to move forward against me. Anyone with size 10 shoe and above (men) foot becomes trapped in accelerator area. Cruise control constantly fails to hold proper speeds, and varies from 10 MPH + or - above intended speed while on a flat non incline surface.”

“As I was slowly coming to a stop at a light my brakes began to pulsate. They did not make any strange noises. I came to a complete stop and was waiting for the light to change when all of a sudden the brake pedal released slightly and I began to roll slowly forward, so I pressed harder on the brakes and stopped. This was a new car at the time so I thought perhaps I just didn't have my foot on the brake hard enough, although I knew the pulsating was not normal. Ever since this incident the pulsating brakes as I'm slowly coming to a stop happens intermittently. …”
