Brake Drum Wheel Cylinder Problems of Nissan Sentra

While driving on a city street, brake pedal suddenly went all the way to the floor and continued to malfunction until vehicle was brought to a stop. Independent mechanic and Nissan dealership both determined the cause was the main cylinder. Mileage on car was 39,000. There was no indication of any brake issues before malfunction (no check engine lights, no noises from brakes, etc. ).

Takata recall. Transmission went out without showing codes. . Nissan kept saying it was nothing wrong with car but the car was stalling and pulling at times in the middle of making a turn on city streets the car wouldnt go. . No check engine light never came on. So it took months of them refusing to fix and my warranty company to actually fix the problem. Also, the master break cylinder went out without notice. I have had many mechanics look at car and say that my car has very little miles for this to happen so soon. . While driving on main roads and highways the brake pad will go all the way to floor. When at a red light and stop sign or any time I am at a stop the car keeps moving with brade pad on floor of car. .

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that the vehicle would not shift out of park. When the transmission returned to normal, the brakes seized and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when depressed. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to hanlees davis Nissan (5009 chiles rd, davis, CA 95618, (530) 231-3000) where it was diagnosed that new cylinders and brake boosters needed to be installed. The transmission was also repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 62,000.

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.

Bought car may 2013. In July 2013 heard noise when braking. Took to Nissan dealer service dept. Told it was the rear wheel cylinder. Said they needed to order the parts. Awaiting call.

Update on what herb gordon Nissan found on the brake issue - the first time they were instructed to lube the brake cylinders as per a service bulletin. The noise was gone for a few days but started to occur again. The second time they changed the brake cylinders all together which has seemed to fix the grinding/crackling noise. The ac stopped working and was blowing hot air - they had to replace the entire ac compressor. So many issues in less than 5000 miles of driving.
