4 Suspension Noise problem

Failure Date: 08/02/2010

The breaks effectiveness is significantly reduced, by as much as 60%, and it makes a popping and spring noise. When you apply the breaks, it makes a grinding sound. You must pull over, turn the car off, pump the breaks and then restart the car. You may have to turn the car off/on several times. I've paid thousands of dollars to various mechanics to have this issue resolved. It goes along fine for awhile, and then the problem repeats itself. It's intermittent and very dangerous. Also, the suspension makes a popping noise when you go over a dip in the road or make a sharp turn. These are evidently known defects and although I did get a recall notice from Nissan, when I brought my vehicle in, they spent 20 minutes looking at it and said everything was fine. It continues to happen. I'm recording this notification so it can be added to the many complaints I've found regarding both of these known issues. At what point is something going to be done for the consumers?? if there's a class action lawsuit, I'm in!!.
