Brakes failed to function when attempting to stop while going 35 mph on a dry, straight roadway. The pedal had some tension behind it but didn't feel right, kind of spongy and it went all the way to the floor. Several pumps of the break did not result in significant braking so I spun the steering wheel to the right to try to avoid the car that was stopping, but could not clear it and my car has been totaled and I am in pain. Airbags also failed to deploy, and I'd have thought a 35 mph crash should have been sufficient to trigger the inertia sensor.

Takata recall. When yu take off & it gets up in speed the car jerk. When you stop at a red light or stop sign & then go, it jerk like it's trying to take off. But it barely move & jerk pretty hard. It seem like the car transmission is not changing out. While the car is jerking when you take off. It's like the idles up & down. When you brake it sounds like you walking on squeaky hard wood floor. The airbag does not work at all.I

Issue1: The occupant classification system (OCS) software incorrectly classify the passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult. This is happening when the vehicle is in motion or stationary. This life-threatening problem substantially impairs the use and value of my vehicle and also it creates a serious safety hazard. I have been harassed by the local dealer due to their repeated ineffective attempts to fix this issue. Issue2: Groaning sound from brakes when driving downhill. Local dealer couldn't able to fix this issue.

Strong pulsation in brake system when pedal is depressed for a time period at stop light. Stronger pulsation if wheel is turned to make a turn at a light while pedal is depressed. The aforementioned happens when vehicle is at rest at a light or in reverse and brakes are appiled. Also pedal must be pumped to stop car and brakes seem to catch and then release and catch again when stopping, this caused me to have to pump brakes to stop car. This happens when car is in motion on street. This Nissan has had both these problems since 20,000 miles approx.

While in motion, an odd "creaking" noise was emitting from the rear passenger wheel. This noise, while similar, was not the same as ntb-13-031A, as the fix for that tsb had been done already. The noise was reported, and the technician found that the hardware for the rear brake had been completely destroyed. It was stated that the pad was not housed and was essentially sideways. Because of this, there was effectively 0% braking occurring on the rear passenger wheel. The dealer replaced the the entire rear braking mechanism on the passenger side. This issue occurred at approximately 36,000 miles.

With no warning, the vehicle applies brakes while in cruise control. Brake lights on the vehicle remain active continuously after this. Once this has occurred, the cruise control light flashes and the transmission is very limited on power at intermittent intervals. It comes and it goes without reason all the while the brake lights remain fully illuminated. This occurs while the vehicle is in motion. It tends to be while cruise control is enabled, but it has occurred while regularly driving.

I have a 2013 Nissan Sentra with 23442 miles. Approximately 2-3 months ago, my brake pedal started acting weird. When I slow down to stop or when traffic is slow and I have to constantly step on my brake, the brake pedal looses pressure and goes further down. I had to pump the brake to regain pressure. It came to the point where I had to adjust and bring my seat forward because I'm tip toeing when I brake. Also, when I'm on full stop, after few seconds the brake pedal starts going down. Took my car to the dealership twice to have it checked and they told me its normal and everything is working as it suppose to be. But I still don't think its normal for my car to do that. I hope Nissan pays attention to this issue and do something to fix it.

Brakes started making a very loud noise.-dealer continuously denied hearing anything when they claimed they test drove the vehicle. *after several complaints to the dealer they resurfaced the rotors to correct the issue, but issue persisted *noise from brakes got louder- they finally agreed to go in the car with me and concluded they did hear the noise-claimed it was the rear brakes which they claimed they replaced *noise persisted, more return visits- they went back to stating they didn't hear the sound when they test drove it. At one point, the service manager actually stated I was causing the issue. That I had to try to "brake harder" and "slam on the brake" once in a while to "break the glazing" on the rotors? then he said they would not do any more repairs on the brakes, because nothing is wrong with them and said I should contact Nissan Consumer Affairs. *they set up an appointment with a "dts", their technical expert, to meet me at the same dealer. Service department had one of their mechanics drive with me while they waited for the dts guy to come back to the dealership. Mechanic was in the car with me for maybe a minute or so and heard the sound as soon as I pressed the brake and he determined issue was the front brakes. *dealer said they would only lube the front brakes to make the sound stop. I was not happy with this and now they say they are going to now resurface the front rotors and change the brake pads. I explained to them that I am afraid this is not going to resolve the issue and was told that's all they are doing about it. So after months and months of back and forth they don't even seem to be concerned on completely correcting the issue. I am becoming more and more concerned for my safety and want to make sure my car is not going to place me and my children in danger.

About a few hours after I signed the paperwork and drove off of the lot with my certified pre-owned vehicle, I heard a grinding sound (rear brakes). I took it back to the dealer that day and they claimed that there was probably debri due to the snow and sand on the roads. I didn't hear the sound again until March, when I took it to the service center at the dealership for an oil change. I had them check the brakes and they told me it was something ball bearings, or something like that. Bottom line, it didn't solve the problem. I took the car back to the dealership in may, with the same issue and they replaced the brake "kit." They told me that I shouldn't have anymore problems. I, in fact, did have the same problem again. June 1st I took the car to the dealership again for a brake issue, they took the rear system apart including the wheels, etc. They said that they could not find anything wrong, and to bring it back if I heard the noise again. Well, today, I drove the car and the grinding in the brakes is worse than I've ever heard it before. I have an appointment with dealer tomorrow, to see if they can get it right this time. My frustration level is at an all time high. I'm annoyed with the sound and I am sure everyone around me who has to hear it, but I am also concerned about the safety of my family when we are in the vehicle.

Brakes began squeaking upon backing up with around 4000 miles. My personal mechanic passed inspection. With 8800 miles, I was driving about 15 mph attempting to make a turn when I applied brakes and car started to slow down, and then jerked forward as if brakes failed. I had to put the brakes to the floor to slow down and was then able to make my turn. I drove a bit more with no problems, but this was very frightening and will be calling dealer in the morning for further inspection.

I purchased a 2013 certified pre-owened Nissan Sentra in November of 2014 with 29K miles and loved it, but a couple of months ago we started experiencing issues with the brakes. Any time coming to a stop, the brake pedal feels like it has very little brake pressure and the pedal depresses too far down almost as if it had air in the brake system. After coming to a complete stop and while pressing on the brake, seconds later the car starts moving and the brake pedal looses pressure and I have to push my foot further than normal, eventually my foot is near the floor board and have to pump the brake pedal to regain brake pressure. This proves to be very dangerous if you have to make a sudden stop for an emergency or are going downhill and come to a stop behinde another vehicle. Being that the vehicle is still under warranty, I took it to the Nissan dealership where I purchased it and they have said nothing is wrong with the car and that I was welcomed to drive a new car to see that the issue was considered to be normal operation. That only proves to me that the brake problem is still an issue and Nissan has done nothing to fix the problem. They still looked at my brakes and replaced front and rear brake pads as a precausionary measure but the issue still persists. I have never owned a Nissan and have alway owned american makes, I feel greatly disapointed in a company that claims to value safety and yet allow their clients to be driving vehicles with such a serious saftey concern. Having worked service for a dealership in the past for many years I recognize that technitians can have their hands tied if the manufacturer that engenieered the vehicle doesn't provide a solution for them to repair a problem. If you can please open an investigation regarding this matter and hope that Nissan could consider finding a solution for this problem soon.
