My wife told me her brake pedal is going to the floor. I test drove it and sure enough brakes go soft and spongy sometimes you can pump the pedal and they will work for a little while. Car has 53883 miles on it and is available for inspection. Will contact dealer in a few days see what they say. No warning lights on. Having worked on cars my whole life makes me think master cylinder is failing but with all the electronic controls don't know. Now parked in garage afraid to drive it.
when i got the car my speakers were out and the brakes were bad i been to the nissan dealership to get my recall fix but they always tell me they don't have the parts I don't drive the vehicle anymore after I found out about the recall two years after I purchased the vehicle it's putting me in my family at risk because I was driving a recall safety hazard vehicle for years without me knowing
My car moves after I put it in park. It jerks forward even though I have it in park. Sometimes before I turn the engine off and sometimes after. I believe its the transmission and it should have been recalled but it hasn't.
My ABS lights come on saying Chassis Control System Error and AWD Error. I took it to Nissan Dealership and they said it was find. Warning signals popping up on my dash board. I took pictures on my phone.
After parking on a steep incline, I set the parking brake by pushing the parking brake pedal. The brake was set. Upon returning to vehicle, I started vehicle, placed in drive, attempted to release parking brake. I was unaware of how to release brake.(previous and post year rogues state on the parking brake pedal "push on push off". My car had a plain black pedal with no inscription). While attempting to find the parking brake release, I accidentally pulled the lever to open the hood witch is located in the area of my parking brake release of my Dodge. I got out to close hood leaving the car in drive. Upon returning to drivers seat my right foot touched the parking brake pedal, releasing brake and the car sped downhill with 2 passengers aboard and dragging me outside the car reaching app. 35 MPH before crashing into tree. …
Wife was driving car and applied brakes. They didn't work right as the car did not slow as it should have. Rear ended a car that was stopped at light. Assured me 100% that she was applying brakes and that she wasn't texting or looking at phone. Accident occurred at or around 25 MPH into stopped car. Clean hit directly front end to rear end. Everyone walked away sore but relatively unscathed. Cars left via tow trucks. Next day wife was complaining of spots in eye and dizzy. Went to er. Nothing wrong supposedly. 16.5K damage to car. 2 days after the accident she had a stroke. Doctors say it was because of head whip due to impact. Airbags/seatbelts worked as advertised but the head whipped and cause a dissection of right carotid artery. Cause a clot that was released and created a stroke on right side of brain. …
Was driving on a city street at 9:00 a.m. During morning traffic. Approached a red traffic light with stopped traffic and when I applied my brakes the brake pedal went to the floor and I had no brakes. I swerved to avoid stopped traffic and ended up in a landscaping area, still no brakes and crashed into a tree head on. As a result there was a landscaper working in the area where I crashed and he was struck. He suffered broken bones and I suffered a dislocated shoulder, fracture sternum and bruised tail bone from the car going air born. It appears the brake pedal assembly failed and detached from the brake booster push-rod/master cylinder assembly. We you press on the brake pedal is stays down on the floor and does not come back up. You have to manually move it up and down and there is a metal to metal clicking sound during movement. …
