Brakes Failed problems of the 2013 Nissan Sentra

When driving approximately 30mph, I pushed my brake pedal to slow for my next turn. The pedal was slightly ineffective, meaning the pressure in the pedal was released and the brake did not halt my car in a safe timeframe. I had to release and press the brake pedal again to feel pressure in the brake system, and was able to slow just in time to make my next turn. This was definitely scary as I've never experienced brake failure before.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Nissan Sentra. The stated that when driving at 25 to 30 mph when the brake pedal was engage, the vehicle failed to come to a stop, and caused the contact to crashed into the vehicle infront. The contact stated that no injuries was received and the person in the vehcle infront did not suffer any injuries. The contact stated that puerto rico police deparmtment provided case number 020-9-018-0182. The stated that the vehicle was taken to a local mechanic for inspection and the mechanic was unable to locate what caused the brake system to fail. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was 52,400. Li.

Brakes failed to function when attempting to stop while going 35 mph on a dry, straight roadway. The pedal had some tension behind it but didn't feel right, kind of spongy and it went all the way to the floor. Several pumps of the break did not result in significant braking so I spun the steering wheel to the right to try to avoid the car that was stopping, but could not clear it and my car has been totaled and I am in pain. Airbags also failed to deploy, and I'd have thought a 35 mph crash should have been sufficient to trigger the inertia sensor.

Brakes began squeaking upon backing up with around 4000 miles. My personal mechanic passed inspection. With 8800 miles, I was driving about 15 mph attempting to make a turn when I applied brakes and car started to slow down, and then jerked forward as if brakes failed. I had to put the brakes to the floor to slow down and was then able to make my turn. I drove a bit more with no problems, but this was very frightening and will be calling dealer in the morning for further inspection.

We bought a new 2013 Nissan Sentra for our daughter. It is about 1 1/2 years old with about 17,000 miles on it. She was on her way home from school, in stop and go traffic, and had just accelerated when she attempted to stop again. She said she tried to stop but the brake pedal went all the way to the floor with no resistance. Then she tried pumping them and they locked up and the car wouldn't stop. So, she rear ended the car in front of her and both of the airbags deployed. No one was in the car with her and there was nothing in the passenger seat. The officer at the scene didn't think the airbags should have deployed in his experience working accidents. There was hardly any visible damage to the cars involved. Most of the cost to repair it was from the airbags. I contacted Nissan because I learned that the NHTSA was investigating these cars for brake problems. I requested an inspection and they sent a "third party" investigator to retrieve the data off the edr and inspect the car. Of course, they could not find anything wrong with the car and the data did not show any brake failure. According to Nissan they find "no basis to offer financial assistance in this matter at this time". I just want them to admit there's something wrong and buy back this car. What parent in their right mind would put their child back in that car? besides that, she's scared and refuses to drive it. I don't think it's a coincidence that other people, even though it's just a few, are describing the same thing that she did. I guess they won't do anything until someone gets killed!.
