1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 03/12/2025

I have had this issue for years and unable to fix it. My solution was not to drive my truck in snowy weather. The first incident was I was driving down hill around with snow that barely started to stick. I driving around 65mph when my truck started to buck. I slowed to 30mph and my truck was still bucking. It did not stop until the weather warmed. By the next storm I was traveling around 60mph in light snow and my truck slid. I slowed to 50mph and when going uphill my truck lost control. It felt like the brakes locked. I tired to get control without pressing the brakes that did not work and when I did press the brakes it felt like my petal was already pushed down. I shifted the truck to gain control. Since then I have never drove that truck above 35 mph in snow. After a few weeks of bad weather the truck would either buck or just not move. The truck finally throw a code saying the right rear wheel speed sensor had a weak connection. I took the truck to three mechanics were they found nothing wrong and could not mimic my issue. I replaced my speed sensor myself. I was able drive the truck in snow without it bucking but the truck would still lock up the brakes and slide. I just never drove fast enough that the slide wasn't serious. After years the truck stopped driving in the snow period again. I took it to a local mechanic and a Nissan dealership. Both said the connection were fine to everything but they were able to lock the brakes. I was told by both that it was the abs module and the part was on back order. I called to different dealerships and multiple told me that people have waited for 6 plus months on this part. It took me years of being car-less every winter to figure out what was wrong and to get told the part was on back order. Based on my research is this isn't uncommon. I won't be shocked if there hasn't been car accidents from this. My vehical is dangerous and I have no way to fix it before next winter.

2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 03/08/2010

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) I was driving my 2010 Nissan Frontier truck. Coming towards a stop sign, I had already started to slow down. About 200 feet,before the stop sign, when I applied the brakes, the brakes did not work,the pedal stayed down with no effect. I tried to jam as hard as possible -- no effect, luckily, my speed was slow enough, it did not carry me into the traffic lane. Next minute, the brakes worked fine, I tested several times - no problem since then. However, now that I think back, it did happen at least couple of times, so fast I thought it was my imagination. This time, it was no imagination, it was scary. [xxx].
