The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder. While driving at speeds of 45 mph the vehicle began vibrating abnormally and shaking violently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the failure was due to a defective abs sensor which was replaced. While the vehicle was in possession of the dealer, the vehicle was involved in a crash and repairs were made to the vehicle at the dealers expense. The failure recurred and the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The mechanic stated that the failure was caused by a defective radiator that also caused the transmission to fail. The failure mileage was 72,800 and the current mileage was 74,000.
Vehicle abs system electronic sensor told the car that the brake pedal was depressed causing the car to suddenly slow down, vibrate, overheat. Eventually it ruined my entire brake system. Nissan stated the pressure sensor and actuator rod fell out of range. Luckily I was not hit from behind on the highway when this occurred. Not sure how this important component can malfunction to the level of thinking someone is slamming down on the brakes.
