It was 108 degree outside at 4:30 pm in the zip code of 89052. At a sloped intersection on a major street I stopped for the light. When the light turned green I tried to accelerate the car, it failed to accelerate, the break did not function, and the steering was difficult. The car stalled. The car started rolling downhill. I was able to turn the car to the next street ~20 yards down the intersection. The street had no slope and no other cars at the time. The car eventually stopped. But that was a dangerous incident and it could be much worse.

When driving approximately 30mph, I pushed my brake pedal to slow for my next turn. The pedal was slightly ineffective, meaning the pressure in the pedal was released and the brake did not halt my car in a safe timeframe. I had to release and press the brake pedal again to feel pressure in the brake system, and was able to slow just in time to make my next turn. This was definitely scary as I've never experienced brake failure before.

While driving, my car continues to jerk and jerk as I tried to give the car gas. It would sputter and then all of a sudden jump really quick. It finally got to the point where I got stuck at two lights! I finally got my destination and got stuck on the hill. My foot was all the way on the gas pedal and some kind gentlemen pushed my car up the hill so I could park it. It's very scary as I had my two children in the car with me and for something like this to happen it puts all of our lives in danger. I was driving on a major intersection when this happened. Any time O would come to a stop it would stall and it would now allow me to turn. The acceleration would not work. I had to cut the car off twice to try and see if it would restart and give me enough push to my destination. But as stated my foot was completely on the gas and it would not go over 5 mph!

As I was driving on the freeway in heavy traffic, I pressed on the brakes to stop and I had to press the pedal all the way to the floor to activate the breaks. This caused me to almost hit the car in front of me. This happened several more times on my way home. I took the car to the dealer and they eventually diagnosed the car with a cracked master cylinder. The car is roughly 5 years old and this is the second major problem that it has had within the month - 1st the transmission and then 2nd the breaks. These are 2 of the 3 most frequently reported problems with this make/model. The car is under 60K miles. According to most sources, the master cylinder is supposed to last the life of the car. Nissan reports that no recall/customer education has been done for either of those things for that make/model. It seems irresponsible of them.

Takata recall. Transmission went out without showing codes.. Nissan kept saying it was nothing wrong with car but the car was stalling and pulling at times in the middle of making a turn on city streets the car wouldnt go.. no check engine light never came on. So it took months of them refusing to fix and my warranty company to actually fix the problem. Also, the master break cylinder went out without notice. I have had many mechanics look at car and say that my car has very little miles for this to happen so soon.. while driving on main roads and highways the brake pad will go all the way to floor. When at a red light and stop sign or any time I am at a stop the car keeps moving with brade pad on floor of car..

Vehicle brake pedal travels further than normal. Have checked brake pads, brake shoes, adjust hand brake flush brake fluid and refill and bled all 4 brake lines. No improvement. I bought used.

- Thousand Oaks, CA, USA

Brakes have unusually long pedal travel coming to a full stop. After coming to a full stop, additional pressure is required to keep the car from drifting forward. Incident happens repeatedly. We purchased the car used, with a rebuilt title. I had the brakes checked at a garage, and had the lines bled to make sure there was no air in the lines. There are no warning lights indicating a problem with the brakes.

Master cylinder. On Saturday 1/27/18 I was driving my car home after making a stop and the brakes quit working. I had to slam on my brakes to get the car to stop. I finally got home after a stressful drive. I took my car to one service center the next day (1/28) and they topped out the fluids but found nothing else wrong. I got in the car to drive home and had the same issue. Thus, on Monday (1/29) I took the car to a downtown service center (non-Nissan) and they diagnosed that the master cylinder needed to be replaced. I had that item replaced at a cost of $732. I then sent a letter to Nissan requesting reimbursement for this problem because the car was only 5 years old and 67000 miles. Nissan said since I did not bring it to a Nissan dealership and have their diagnostics run they would not reimburse me. However, a week or two earlier I was at a Nissan dealership for a shift lock problem and they ran diagnostics then. They told me they could not recreate the problem and did run diagnostics. They said everything was fine. After the master cylinder issue, I rechecked that report and it indicated the brake fluids were low. I also checked the internet and ran across several reports that talked about this same braking issue. Nissan has refused to do anything about it since I did not bring it to them. However, since its out of warranty I do not always take my car to a dealership - I usually take it to a place closer to my work.
