1997 Nissan Pathfinder Brakes Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LINES FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WERE LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BUT THE CONTACT BELIEVED THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 11V244000 (SUSPENSION: FRONT). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

THE NISSAN DEALER CREATS ALL KIND OF TACTICS TO DELAY TO FIX ALL THE KNOWN PROBLEMS TO NISSAN PATHFINDER MODEL. I HAVE ENOUGH EVIDENCES AND WITNESSES TO PROVE THAT THEY UNDERMINE CUSTOMER 'S TRUST. THEY DOCTORED THE PROBLEMS INSTEAD OF RECOGNIZING THEM AND FIX THEM.

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES VEHICLE MADE A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE. ALSO WHEN IT'S WET OUTSIDE AND THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP INSTANTLY. DEALER HAS SEEN VEHICLE. *AK

BRAKES KEEP FAILING INTERMITTANTLY , NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX AND WILL NOT ASSIST ME VEHICLE IS A DANGER TO ME AND OTHERS "HELP"

BRAKES FAILED SEVERAL TIMES.

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR THIS VEHICLE. *AK

WHEN APPLYING ABS BRAKES THE PEDAL TRAVELS TO THE FLOOR, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE, CAUSE UNKNOWN. DEALER CANNOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. *AK

SOMETIMES, THE ABS DOES NOT STOP THE TRUCK ON GRAVEL ROADS. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES LOCK UP, CAUSING THE SUV TO SLIDE. THE DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. DEALER COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS. AROUND 8/15/98 CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES, AND THE SUV WOULD NOT STOP, CONTINUED TO SLIDE AND CRASHED INTO A ELECTRIC GATE ON CONSUMER'S PROPERTY. *AK

ANTI LOCK BRAKES SLIDE WHEN ENGAGING.

WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKES AFTER STOPPING, A LOUD BUMP SOUND CAME FROM THE REAR. IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED.

BRAKES FAILED, CAUSING VEHICLE TO TURN OVER.

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DO NOT WORK ON WET PAVEMENT, THE VEHICLE SKIDS AND WILL NOT STOP. A MONITOR WAS INSTALLED FOR THE ABS AND IT STILL DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK
