general problems of the 2010 Nissan Murano - part 2

Soft brake pedal after a 90 degree intersection turn. Pressure loss in brake pedal after that. Now it requires to press the brakes a lot more to have same braking effect as before.

Brake pedal looses pressure after braking on low friction (wet pavement), will brake after the pedal has been pressed all the way. Will correct itself after turning off the vehicle and depressing the brake pedal multiple times. Ocurrs multiple times, every time the traction spins one of the front wheels.

At random times, after braking over bumps or imperfections in the road surfaces, at any speed, the brake system loses all pressure making it almost impossible to stop. When driving it in the snow, after the abs system is triggered, the brake system loses pressure, which is extremely dangerous. At one moment, I was driving very slowly down a snowy hill, when the brake system suddenly lost pressure and the abs only engaged after the brake pedal was pressed all the way to the floor. At that time, it was too late and I slid through an intersection and ended up in a ditch (with my wife and infant son in the car). Luckily, everyone else was stopped on either side of the intersection, and no damage was done to our car or anyone else's property. So far, there is no known fix for this issue, and it seems there is no research being done by Nissan. They (Nissan) needs to fix this before someone is injured or killed due to a faulty brake/abs system. We love our Murano, but we will be trading it in on something else in the very near future.

I am reporting an abs/braking safety issue with my 2010 Nissan Murano. My vehicle was included in Nissan campaign p0a08/ntb21-047 involving brake fluid and the abs actuator. Before the campaign, I had experienced an intermittent braking problem during a loss-of-traction/abs event. When Nissan performed p0a08 on 8/8/2023 at 191,017 miles, I specifically reported the problem. The Nissan repair order states: “customer states is having problems with the brake pedal going to floor. ” the abs actuator passed Nissan’s campaign inspection, but because of my complaint, the service manager contacted Nissan/wcc regarding actuator replacement. The repair order states: “service manager called wcc to verify coverage of abs actuator after it passed inspection for recall. ” Nissan case j0003385169 was opened. The intermittent condition could not be duplicated during a test drive, so the actuator was not replaced. On 8/20/2026, abs, brake, slip and vdc off warning lights began illuminating while driving. Nissan diagnosed abs code c1140 – actuator rly. After further testing, the Nissan repair order states: “circuit good… internal concern with abs actuator. ” Nissan now recommends replacing the abs actuator. My safety concern is that this is the same actuator that passed the p0a08 inspection and remained in service despite my documented brake-pedal-to-floor complaint. I ask NHTSA to review whether the p0a08 inspection/remedy adequately identifies intermittent abs actuator failures and whether similar vehicles may remain at risk.
