This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The ABS sensor was leaking fluid onto the axle, which caused the wheel to be non-responsive. Will be taking vehicle to dealership to have mechanic check out the leakage. The consumer was concerned for his safety. Please provide additional information.
Failure of the braking system caused brake pedal to drop half way to the floor (approximately level with gas pedal) and inability to slow or stop the vehicle. None of multiple attempts to apply the service brakes resulted in any braking effect and engine surge was detected in at least one braking attempt. Driver resorted to emergency brake, but too late to avoid collision in intersection, two vehicles destroyed, four people where injured.
Being a former mechanic and owning a 1995 Nissan previously I am appalled at the performance of the braking system.numerous times when braking I can feel the pedal pulsate and the system only had minimal braking force although I applied extreme pressure to the pedal.I am certain there is a design flaw, for I would never had this accident in my 1995 Nissan pick-up and I'm certain someone is going to lose their life.
