The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Sentra. While driving at approximately 5 mph, there was an abnormally loud noise coming from the vehicle. The brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle suddenly rolled away and the brake pedal failed to respond. The emergency brake was engaged. The vehicle restarted about 30 minutes later. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure was not replicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 12,200.
Brakes started making a very loud noise. -dealer continuously denied hearing anything when they claimed they test drove the vehicle. *after several complaints to the dealer they resurfaced the rotors to correct the issue, but issue persisted *noise from brakes got louder- they finally agreed to go in the car with me and concluded they did hear the noise-claimed it was the rear brakes which they claimed they replaced *noise persisted,more return visits- they went back to stating they didn't hear the sound when they test drove it. At one point, the service manager actually stated I was causing the issue. That I had to try to "brake harder" and "slam on the brake" once in a while to "break the glazing" on the rotors? then he said they would not do any more repairs on the brakes, because nothing is wrong with them and said I should contact Nissan consumer affairs. *they set up an appointment with a "dts" , their technical expert, to meet me at the same dealer. Service department had one of their mechanics drive with me while they waited for the dts guy to come back to the dealership. Mechanic was in the car with me for maybe a minute or so and heard the sound as soon as I pressed the brake and he determined issue was the front brakes. *dealer said they would only lube the front brakes to make the sound stop. I was not happy with this and now they say they are going to now resurface the front rotors and change the brake pads. I explained to them that I am afraid this is not going to resolve the issue and was told that's all they are doing about it. So after months and months of back and forth they don't even seem to be concerned on completely correcting the issue. I am becoming more and more concerned for my safety and want to make sure my car is not going to place me and my children in danger.
