For ten days my car suddenly loses 90% or more braking power—after moving at above 40 miles per hour for five minutes or more. Incredibly dangerous and no war I g lights and hard to diagnose. We are replacing master cylinder as they were investigated on this year and model. I want them to reopen that investigation and I want compensation.
Breaks was unsafe, some piece was broken close by my tires.
I was going 35 mph and I tried to slow down as I noticed the cars infront of me were at a complete stop at a red light, I pressed my breaks and noticed I barely even slowed down as I got closer to the car ahead of me I put my emergency break on and it made my car slide forward forcing my car into the rear end of the car ahead of mine. The mileage on the car is an estimate.

Foot caught between pedals car would not brake or stop.
This is an event similar to odi resume (pe 14-018) opened on 06/24/2014 by the national highway traffic safety administration. Similar to complainant, voq 10597004, my foot was trapped by the trim panel. Panel is located next to the accelerator pedal and the lower corner is positioned such that it is near the right outer edge of the driver's shoe. Also similar to complainant 10573057, when attempting to remove my foot from the accelerator pedal to apply the brake, my shoe was caught by the trim panel which delayed braking ability several times. It is important to note that this vehicle was purchased from a rental facility, enterprise car sales in elmwood park, NJ. The photographs in odi resume pe 14-018 illustrate the same safety issue I am having with my vehicle.
I was parked in the driveway. I applied the brakes and slowly started backing down the sloped driveway, as it started rolling back faster I applied the brakes harder and they didn't work. Instead the pedal went to the floor with no response. The car continued to roll backwards and I pumped the brakes to try and get a response and just as it reached the street the brakes finally clicked back on.
I was driving on interstate 55 south. I heard a pop on the driver's side and the car crossed over into the passing lane and hit the rail. I lost all control of the car.

It is a miracle that I am alive. I was sold a defective car. I only had the car one month.

Brakes making hollow noise when come to stop.
My brake pedal will sink to the floor if I press hard on it with my foot and keep pressing. I looked at my brake fluid reservoir and it is at the normal 'full' mark. My Nissan dealer says that the pedal keeps moving because the abs is modulating my brake pedal and that nothing is wrong with my brakes.

Once I was driving and my car shut off and I was unable to use my brakes. The second time I was driving and my brakes were very soft and didn't have a quick enough brake response. I don't feel safe in my new car and Nissan won't replace my car or give me my money back.
I have noticed on several occasions when stopped or coming to a stop, brake will feel like it becomes disengaged or feeling of car surging forward a little, when the air conditioning is on. I have to make sure my foot is heavily on the brake, so that it will not feel like it will move forward. A couple of times, I have thought the car in back of me had bumped me. Also, the brake pedal feels a little loose. Also, when there is dew present on the window in the morning if I have parked outside at night, the built-in window brushes/edgers will not clear the windows. This creates a safety issue, especially if this happened while you were driving and the windows became foggy on the outside. The dealership stated that those little brushes, were just meant to keep debris out of the door panel area.
