Service Brakes
On 7 occasions over the last month all 4 brakes lock up on the car after 20-30 minutes of warning up in normal traffic. After a period of 2 to 4 hours leaving the car parked and off, the brakes right themself. The nissan dealer charged me $150 and said they can not figure it out.

As i was driving or turning, car would hesitate, speed would drop even though foot still on accelerator. Turns out had moisture in driver's brake light which caused car switch to brake thereby causing jerking hesitation. Dangerous because even though car slowed down, brake lights not lit, dangerous to drivers behind me. Light replaced due to seal allowing moisture in.

Takata recall my check engine light keeps coming on and off. I've had the sensor replaced once for over $350.00 two years ago. However, now the check engine light has reappeared and went off twice in the past 30 day. I've kept up with maintenance since my initial purchase of the vehicle. Firestone asked me to check with the nissan dealerships to find out if the mass air flow is covered under some sort of warranty…

Extra braking required to come to a stop - this is an intermittent issue but similar to the issue reported for the 2013 versa. The braking required most times to come to a stop from a uniform speed can vary at times so that significantly more effort to stop the vehicle is needed. Example, on my neighbourhood street, approaching the stop sign at 25mph, normally very little braking needs to be applied. At times, we…

Brakes are very weak for being a light weight vehicle. Stopping power is very underwhelming. Coming to a complete stop even after cruising speeds makes me feel anxious...my vehicle only has 10,066 miles on the odometer but the braking power feels very underwhelming for a fairly new low mileage vehicle.

When my vehicles slows down and brakes to a stop it begins to shake slightly. The shaking causes the car to hesitate slightly back and forward. In addition, sometimes the break pedals are slow to come back up once i have pressed the brake pedal. The issue is usually seen in the mornings when i am first drive the vehicle and begin to brake. I believe nissan has sold me a lemon vehicle. This a brand new vehicle and i…

I was driving straight. I saw a car in front of me, and began to brake. As i depressed the brake pedal as i normally do, the car was not slowing down, so i quickly pressed it further. Finally the car had stopped after the brake pedal was all the way to the floor. I can consistently replicate this issue. I will contact the dealer today. *tr

Randomly my brake pedal goes to the floor with no braking ability. It has happened on several occasions, thank goodness while backing up or parked- have had no braking ability. I took it in the a nissan dealer ( i had it towed), and they deemed it ok. Infact they said, i would have to pay for the towing, since they had no ticket. In the end i did not pay it. They bled the brakes at the end of the service…

I have the same issues as described in your investigation "pe14-014." in addition, while driving the vehicle on a paved road at approximately 45 mph, all of a sudden, it was as if the vehicle took over the steering, causing me to hit a curb. No damage was incurred, however it was very scary. My concern is obvious, what if the vehicle does this again when i am driving on a freeway @ 65 mph? This was not an isolated…
