While driving on highrise pkg lot hear grinding noise, once outside I got to corner stop and turning to the right I step on the brakes, however the car would not stop. It took approximately one car length to come to stop moving, all the time with the brakes applied to the bottom. No other incident for a week. Two Sunday's ago at church the same happen, apply brakes and car continue moving , it took about a car lengths to come to stop. Luckily there was no one walking at the church parking. It is at the dealer since then for repair. Is waiting (9days)for the esc module, which went bad and without it, they can not determine the brakes problem. Once that is replace they will test the abs computer because nothing appears to be wrong with the mechanical/physical parts of the brakes. The car has gave all the schedule maintenance bless you the book at the dealers service shop for Nissan.

While traveling at a speed of less than 30 mph in the left turn lane I heard a loud grinding noise that felt like the gears stuck. The car then suddenly and without warning, revved up,speed forward with the steering wheel locked to the right. The steering and brakes were non responsive, and I had no control. My car, at a high rate of speed, crossed three additional lanes striking a telephone pole(actually split the pole in 2 places), transformer, fire hydrant, and finally rolling down a hill where it came to rest in a parking lot. There was fire from the power lines touchin and water gushing from the fire hydrant at the same time. My father was two cars ahead of me and witnessed the entire accident. We had just left from getting the annual emissions checked on our vehicles and had traveled less than a mile towards home, when the accident occurred. I was told by the paramedics that they never saw anyone walk away from an accident this severe. I suffered whiplash, minor cuts and a 2nd degree concussion but this malfunction could have resulted in the death of me or someone else.
