2007 Nissan Versa Brakes Problems

“Was told excessive rust on drums were making brakes squeal in reverse. Brakes make hard rubbing noise when stopping in a hurry city streets. . Dealer said if noise continues to bothered me I would have to have drums replaced.my car is just under 20,000 miles. Is it reasonable that I pay to fix the problem? Car has rarely been driven in winter salt/ conditions. Very low mileage for a car this age. Isn't this corrosion considered excessive wear?”

“During winter season, when more than 2 inches of snow falls, when pressing on the break, I have to press and release repeatedly for the car to stop at a light. If I try to stop without doing so, the car will continue past the stop light road mark. When I press on the break, the break pedal feels like it touch the road. I have experienced this more than three times. Each time I experience this, it has always been a scary one. One day, I was going into the back of a car at a stop light when I couldn't break. I had to press the horn and held it so the driver would realize I had a problem. …”

“I was driving home from work taking same route as I've done for three years. It was my first time driving a recently purchased 2007 Nissan Versa hatchback. I moved into the turn lane and applied brakes to turn a 90 degree corner. The brakes failed. I had turned the wheel anticipating a normal turn however the car kept moving straight ahead. The car jumped a concrete island and came to rest. I knew immediately there was significant damage to the driver side although the damage was underneath the vehicle. …”

“Brakes seemed latent in collision, had to pump brakes on new car to avoid accident, 3 times. Brakes sufficiently locked, but too late to avoid collision. Skid marks from 120 feet at 50 MPH impacted vehicle at 35 MPH. Dry conditions sunny day. 65 fahrenheit. I believe the brakes on this vehicle should have been sufficient and worked properly to avoid collision. I have never had this problem prior to owning a vehicle made by Nissan. This was the first and last vehicle by Nissan I will drive.”

“Reporting an issue with the 2007 Nissan Versa intermittent brake failure. When driving on dry roads and braking hard, the brake pedal would go to the floor, then recover itself and have adequate pressure within about a minute. Car has been regularly serviced since purchase, including annual brake service. This issue has occurred twice in the car's lifetime - the first time, the driver was able to maneuver the car out of traffic without issue. Full brake system was checked out with no issues found in master cylinder or other hydraulics and unable to repeat issue. …”
