Brake Foundation Components problems of the 2001 Nissan Sentra

While driving at a low speed, applied brakes and without warning brakes failed, especially in rainy weather. Dealer has been notified; however, has not been able to remedy the problem. Consumer states that this has almost caused a crash.

Car continues to accelerate after foot is removed from the pedal. Occurred several times, but was easily managed by tapping the brake. Brought in for repair and carbon build-up was found on the throttle and cleaned up. Most recent occurrence was more dramatic. I was accelerating quickly (4000+ rpm) from a stop at a red light. Car continued to accelerate at 4000+ rpm. Braking hard did not stop the car, nor did it stop the continued acceleration. Had to put car in neutral and pull over. Engine continued to race at 4000+ rpm, until ignition was turned off. Brought to Nissan service. They checked throttle plate and cable but found no problem, and condition could not be duplicated. Problem has not occurred in the week since, but it has always been intermittent and unpredictable. Should the original problem have been fixed with out charge? what can I do if it happens again? this is a serious safety issue to me, and could have ended badly if one of my kids had been driving instead of me.

On two occasions when braking on wet road condition vehicle would slide before stopping. Dealer and manufacturer were not notified. Consumer is experiencing this condition on dry pavement at low speeds as well.

Headrest will not stay in down position, it keeps rising up, blocking consumer's view oncoming traffic. Consumer feels this is very dangerous. Please provide any further information.

Brakes locked at relatively low speed, resulting in an unneccesary crash due to vehicle skiding. The distance should have been pleanty to effectively stop the vehicle.

When traveling at 25-35 mph brakes locked when trying to make a sudden stop. Contacted dealer, and the dealer was not willing to do anything.
