Brakes Failed problem #1

Brake failure at low speeds. In the last eight months I have owned this vehicle, twice the car failed to stop when I applied brakes. I was going at around 20-25 mph in both the cases.

Service Brakes problem #2

7/21/22 -we left our property, brakes working fine, drove 1/2 mile, no brakes. Dash lights lit up, brake, abs, ! and anti skid. Finally jammed parking brake and regular brakes on, creating a grinding noise and car stopped. 7/22/22-towed car to mechanic in sonora, CA…he said brakes working now. 7/23/22- drove car to central valley Nissan. New intelligent brake control unit was installed. Car has less than 36,000 miles on it. This part should not have failed. Part is available for examination. 7/23/22-I called Nissan consumer affairs to discuss the issue with the part, they said the car was no longer under warranty, so to bad, so sad.
