Started my car backed out the driveway and my brake pedal went to the floor. I had no brakes at all. It was towed to a Nissan dealership on 8/27/2015 at 13:00. The dealer called me at 10:00 am on 8/28/2015 to inform me the bracket that holds the brake hose had "broke, fell off or rusted off" its a 2014. Its a year old. That is a huge safety concern to me. They did not have the car repaired until Monday 8/31/2015 14:09. Parts billed was 46206-2j00a spring lock bracket, 46211-3ta0a brake hose rear, 46237-a4600 gasket-brake ho, and 99mp-a4100p brake fluid. This repair was not covered and I paid for it and of course for 3 days of a rental car.
I put my foot on the brakes after I started the car and when the brake pedal went to the floor, I realized my brakes were not working. I later had the car checked and learned that the bracket on the strut assembly that secures the brake hose separated from the strut when the spot welds failed. Subsequently, the unsecured brake hose was punctured because of contact with moving parts.

Upon inspection of brake failure, it was determined that underbody corrosion penetrated the brake fluid lines causing brake failure. Further, corrosion is so pervasive the car is beyond repair. Nissan has denied any responsibility and declined any reparations.
