Owner Complaints (4)
Your brake pedal is stuck pressed all the way to the floor and won't come back up. Even after Nissan replaced the master cylinder and other brake components, the problem hasn't been fixed. This makes your brakes unresponsive and dangerous to drive. The issue likely involves the brake system's hydraulic lines, brake booster, or residual brake pressure components that need further diagnosis.

While driving at about 30 mph, your brake pedal went all the way to the floor without stopping the vehicle, forcing you to use the emergency brake to come to a stop. A mechanic inspected the brakes, rotors, and brake fluid and found no damage, but couldn't reproduce the problem. This may indicate an intermittent brake system issue that could require further diagnosis of the brake lines, master cylinder, or brake system components.

Your brake pedal loses pressure or sinks to the floor when you brake on slippery or uneven surfaces. This makes it harder to stop your vehicle safely in these conditions. The issue likely involves your brake system's ability to maintain pressure, and may require inspection of brake lines, cylinders, or the ABS system.
