2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 05/06/2015

The brakes on my 2012 Sentra stopped working, I was not able to move the pedal at all. I was traveling at freeway speeds and had to cut across traffic to get into the safety lane. I had to fully restart the car in order for the brakes to reengage. Had there not been a clear path to the shoulder lane I would have not been able to stop with traffic and would have hit someone at full speed.

Failure Date: 01/12/2012

I just purchased a brand new off the lot 2012 Nissan Sentra immediatly called the dealership upon leaving told them the alignment was off they said to bring it in and they would realign the car, in the meantime when I apply the brakes the car wants to keep going and throughs itself into another gear where it would lung forward, which means I am having to press on the brakes harder in order not to be thrown into traffic. I took the car in and at first they could not duplicat the problem then all of a sudden it is the transmission that needs to be repalced why is it a brand new car needs a new transmission??? now they are telling me that they will extend the warranty for me really! wow why should the warranty be extended when I have a brand new car I keep asking for a new Sentra just switch it out make life easy on us all.
