1 Brake Drum Wheel Cylinder problem

Failure Date: 10/14/2014

I noticed since October of 2014 that when I applied the brakes in the car, they pulsated under my foot. (the car was purchased in April 2014) it did not happen every time, but I was puzzled. . . It continued off and on for months and eventually I took it back to the dealership and they kept the vehicle fixed it and returned it to me. I read the receipt and noticed the problem was as follows: front pads coming apart internally causing the rotors to become warped; and both rear wheel cylinders coming apart internally. I was pretty shocked at this, and 3 days after being repaired I noticed the same pulsing again and took the car back. They kept it for a full week, and told me they can find nothing wrong with it. I called the Nissan corporation and advised them I did not want to drive this car because its unsafe. They told me they would review my request, and then advised me that they will not be repurchasing or taking the car back. In the meantime, I drive this car with great fear and care as the pulsing is more frequent, especially if the brakes are applied slowly, the pulsing happens jarringly at the end of the braking. One of the technicians I spoke to told me that they had an internal notice for this model , but only if a customer brought it in. I feel that taking it back to Nissan again is going to get me nowhere and that they will once more decide nothing is wrong. In addition, the vehicle is financed by Nissan, and this month I did not pay for the vehicle and I am surprised and puzzled as to why no one from Nissan has called to ask for payment. What can I do now? I am afraid to continue driving this car. Thank you.
