Brakes Failed problems of the 2009 Nissan Altima

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Altima. While attempting to park the vehicle, the brakes failed to respond and the contact crashed into a tree. The vehicle was towed to a collision shop. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. There were no injuries and a police report was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

When I tried to turn on my 2009 Altima which is 4 years old and purchased by me new from the dealer, the car would not start. The vehicle starts by depressing the brake while pushing the start switch. After trying several times to start the car, I had the vehicle towed to the dealership. The vehicle was diagnosed with brake switch failure. According the serviced rep at Nissan and the tow truck driver, this issue has been occurring more and more. The charge to repair the problem was $526. 81. Per the invoice from the dealership, the sub-harness, the switch assembly, and the band hose had to be replaced.

The car fail start; I see lots of complains where the steering wheel lock in place and so does the brake and the car fails to start. I had the same problem twice already and the dealer told me to replace the key less switch however, the problem continues and I see that the problem was not the key. As I can see others are having similar issues of the car locking in place and the problem is more than just the key problem. . This should be definitely recalled.

At regular driving, brakes failed at 7500 miles (while driving approximately 47 mph on the 5 freeway southbound). Tustin Nissan dealership found all 4 rotors warped and brakes defective. Replaced all rotors and all brakes. Also defective: driver's side rear view mirror (replaced at 8000 miles), paint trim peeling (upon new vehicle delivery).

I've gotten into a car accident involving 2 other cars, and complete brake failure. On October 8, 2009, I was driving by carson beach, located in south boston, MA, trying to find something to eat with a friend. I have seen that I was going only 28 mph's with no cars ahead of me. However, I knew the area was near the south boston state police headquarters, and I did not want any relations with a speeding ticket. I knew the posted speed limit was 30mph but my intent was to go at approximately 25 mph. This is my safety margin incase the speedometer goes up. At this point, the brakes did not work. When I stepped on it once, and numerous times to come, I remember the clunking noises as if someone was putting their feet to the ground, following a musical beat. So I look up and see how much space I got in front of me and noticed there was at least another 1/4 mile with no car in sight. I then look down to definitely make sure I was touching the brake and that it would stop. I looked down and kept stepping on the brake, and end up stretching forward my right foot to push the brakes. That did not work. For first thought, I was thinking I should if turn off the car but I doubt that would've work; it would've locked my steering wheel and braking would be harder. I panicked when I saw the traffic light sitting at red, with 2 cars on the left lane, and one on the right. I thought about having to swerve to the right lane, but there was another car right behind my blindside, so I did not go into the other lane. Sitting in a brand new car, with brake failures, my friend and I were hopeless and resulted in rear-ending 2 completely stopped vehicles innocently waiting for the light to turn green. My car's air bags deployed, but we didn't get hurt. However, the pass. Door was keeping my friend from getting out until someone outside ripped through and yanked the door open for him. At a cruising rate ~29 mph, I crashed into the other cars who were already stopped.

Brakes failed at 7500 miles while driving approximately 47mph on a busy highway. Nissan dealership found all 4 rotors warped and all 4 brakes defective. All were replaced under warranty. 2 days after dealership repairs, a very loud "clunking" noise was noticed while driving on another freeway and brakes failed once again at 50 mph. Another Nissan dealership stated there was a "brake rotor run-out excessive measure" and resurfaced rotors.
