2 Brake Foundation Components problem of the 2000 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 08/16/2002

While driving my SUV I heard a loud bang, inmediatelly after that, the SUV turned abruptly to the right. I tried to maintain on my lane but it was useless. The vehicle kept turning right. I pressed the brakes, and then the vehicle skidded on the wet pavement slamming the vehicle against the bridges wall. The vehicle hit against the wall with the rear right side of it. Then it slowed down. There were no flat tires. The rear axle shifted to the left due to the crash. Other parts where damaged. I guess the crash was due to the front right lower control arm because it was loose and broken. I had no problems before with this vehicle. It did not gave any signs of wear, neither made strange sounds so one could take it for a preventive check. This vehicle (Nissan Pathfinder 2000) is only 2 years old!!!.

3 Brake Foundation Components problem of the 1999 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 08/05/2000

We were towing our 18ft boat up a hill near a lake in san diego when we experienced complete engine/power/brake failure on a hill with no guard rail. The weight of the boat pulled us backward out of control until we jacknifed to the left into the side of the hill which held us in place until the park rangers towed us out. If we had jacknifed to the right, our entire family would have been pulled over the edge of the hill and down a cliff. All brake systems failed (foot and emergency) and the engine could not pull the weight of the trailer/boat. The trailer/boat were well within the manufactuer's guidlines for towing capacity of 3,500 lbs.
