Brake Master Cylinder Problems of Nissan Versa

Brake pedal goes to the floor occasionally while applying the brakes to come to a stop. Had Nissan perform a brake system flush and still have the problem. They asked about changing out the master cylinder and the way that they asked made me believe that they might know of a problem with this year and make of car. I checked up to see if there was a recall and noticed an investigation is in progress for this problem. This problem happens in street traffic or highway when trying to slow or stop the vehicle and is intermittent in nature and still occurs after the brake flush to remove any air in the system.

While operating my vehicle on a highway, at approximately 75mph, traffic slowed and I lightly depressed my brake pedal to slow my vehicle in response and no braking was detected. I pressed the pedal further to no avail. The brake pedal had to be pressed all the way to the floor before the brakes finally engaged. Thankfully, I was traveling at a safe distance behind the vehicle in front of me. Nevertheless, the experience was unsettling. Normal brake operation resumed for a short time. Within 25 miles of the last occurrence, I once again experienced the excessive brake pedal travel, followed by normal brake operation. I cautiously made my way to a Nissan dealership the next morning. The car was inspected, and the dealership confirmed the cause of the problem to be a leak in the master cylinder. Despite the 115000 miles on my vehicle, I find it quite terrifying that the failure of a component could put my occupant and I in such a perilous situation without any warning whatsoever. I have contacted the manufacture, and am awaiting further assistance/remedy.

While driving at 35 miles/her I almost hit the car in front of her my brake suddenly failed on March 2, 2016 and I had to push the brake all the way to floor. It worked normally after that but had a same problems a few more times on March 3, 2016. I took it to the Nissan dealer on March 3, 2016 and I was told that it was master brake cylinder failure. It just has 46250 miles and I am waiting for the master cylinder replacement.

Reporting an issue with the 2007 Nissan Versa intermittent brake failure. When driving on dry roads and braking hard, the brake pedal would go to the floor, then recover itself and have adequate pressure within about a minute. Car has been regularly serviced since purchase, including annual brake service. This issue has occurred twice in the car's lifetime - the first time, the driver was able to maneuver the car out of traffic without issue. Full brake system was checked out with no issues found in master cylinder or other hydraulics and unable to repeat issue. After 1. 5 years, the second time the issue occurred, the driver was in stop & go rush hour traffic on dry roads and when hitting the brakes, the brake failure caused a collision with another vehicle with airbag deployment. Full brake system check by multiple shops showed no issue with brake hydraulics, and again was unable to repeat the issue. Brake fluid had been recently exchanged. Owner has requested event data recorder info pull from Nissan USA to determine that brake pedal was applied and car did not slow down - Nissan USA stating $600 fee plus 1 month lead time until such data can be pulled from the vehicle. Nissan tech has confirmed that such an issue has been seen in some vehicles, but cannot confirm cause, only that replacement of a working master cylinder has fixed the problem, which goes against reason of replacing something that is functioning under standard test conditions.
