2009 Nissan Murano Brakes

When driving at a slow speed and applying full brakes, the car rather than stopping quickly took more time to stop and thus resulted in an accident - collided with the car in front. There was a recall for this car in 2019 for exactly this problem - R1814. Apparently, the fix the dealer has performed didn’t alleviate the problem. I sincerely request you to perform a thorough assessment of the recommended fix for this recall to safeguard others from this serious safety issue. Also, if possible, I request you to arrange for assessment of my vehicle to confirm if my ABS concerns are true which I truly believe they’re.

Brake pedal now goes to floor before brakes engage. This occurred after stopping suddenly. Mechanic changed master cylinder and bled system but no change. No warning lamps on dashboard.

The brake pedal gets really stiff, hard to depress and the brakes gradually engage until they almost stop the vehicle. All the brakes get extremely hot when this occurs.

MY VEHICLE INSPECTION REPORT ON 01/04/2021 RECALL ADVISORY STATED "YOUR VEHICLE HAS ONE OR MORE RECALLS". I FOLLOWED ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY NC VALVE.

BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR WHEN TRYING TO STOP.

NISSAN PREFORMED WORK ON THIS VEHICLE FOR RECALL # RECALL 18V916000. A YEAR LATER THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM OCCURRED AND NISSAN SAYS WE ARE NOW RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BILL BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO FIX RECALLS ONCE

WOULD LOSE BRAKE PRESSURE GOING OVER A MANHOLE COVER/ANY UNEVEN SURFACE WHILE BRAKING, GENERALLY BRAKING TO A STOP. THIS WOULD HAPPEN PERIODICALLY FOR ABOUT A YEAR (2016-2017). ON 9/3/2017 I WAS BRAKING FOR A RED LIGHT, WENT OVER A MANHOLE COVER AND LOST ALL BRAKE PRESSURE. VEHICLE WOULD STOP BUT YOU WOULD NEED TO PRESS THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DETERMINED THE ABS CONTROL UNIT WAS INOPERABLE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE UNIT 9/14/17. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER (28309423) BUT WAS NEVER CONTACTED. I AM REPORTING THIS NOW AS MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL AND I FEEL IT SHOULD BE.

BRAKE SYSTEM BRAKES LOCKED ALL 4. WHEN I DRIVE IT SOUNDED LIKE RATTLING ONCE I MADE IT HOME BACKED UP IT JERKED THEN CALL A MECHANIC AND HE SAID BRAKES ARE LOCKED DNT DRIVE.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A FRIGID NIGHT AND SHE FELT THAT SHE NEEDED TO PUMP THE BRAKE UNTIL IT HITS THE FLOOR TO STOP, NEXT DAY AS SHE WAS DRIVING FROM OUR GARAGE IT JUST SLID OFF THE SLOPED DRIVEWAY. I NEEDED TO DRIVE HER TO WORK IN ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAD THE BRAKE PADS REPLACED BECAUSE THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED THAT THE SPONGINESS OF THE BRAKE MIGHT GO AWAY IF I HAVE A NEW BRAKE PAD.

I AM REPORTING A COMPLAIN ABOUT NISSANS NEGLIGENCE. NISSAN DID NOT INFORMED ME ABOUT OUTSTANDING RECALL (ABS HCU) FOR THIS VEHICLE WHICH WAS ISSUED LATE 2018. I ONLY KNEW BECAUSE I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO MY TRUSTED MECHANIC FOR BRAKING ISSUES ON 08.20.2019 WHO INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS AN OUTSTANDING RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE.

ABS RECALL. MY CAR HAS DEEP BRAKE & TAKE LONGER TO STOP SO BROUGHT TO MY MECHANIC & INFORMED ME THAT IT HAS AN OUTSTANDING ABS RECALL SO I BROUGHT IT TO KEOPPEL NISSAN SERVICE IN QUEENS NY. AFTER TWO DAYS OF WAITING THEY DID NOTHING SO DECIDED TO PICK IT UP & TO BRING IT TO OTHER NISSAN DEALER SERVICE. BEFORE PICKING MY VEHICLE UP THEY INFORMED ME THAT DEEP BRAKE & LONGER BRAKING TIME HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ABS, VEHICLES ABS HAS NO ISSUE & DOES NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THAT IT IS THE BRAKE PADS & THE CALIPERS WHICH WAS RECEIVING CHECKED BY MY TRUSTED MECHANIC. BUT KEOPPEL NISSAN SERVICE DID NOT PROVIDE ME ANY WRITTEN PROOFS THAT ABS OR THE RECALL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY VEHICLES BRAKING ISSUE. NOW I AM BACK TO SQUARE ONE, WILL BRING THE VEHICLE TO OTHER NISSAN SERVICE.

NISSAN IS NOT COMPLYING WITH RECALL. OCTOBER 23, 2018 THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY 2009 NISSAN MURANO FOR THE ABS ACTUATOR, BRAKE FLUID AND LINES. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD TEST THE ACTUATOR AND CHANGE THE BRAKE FLUID AND LINES. AT THIS TIME MY CAR PASSED THE ACTUATOR TEST SO THE NISSAN SERVICE FACILITY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE FIXING THE ACTUATOR. HOWEVER, ON MAY 21, 2019 I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE MY ABS AND SLIP LIGHTS CAME ON IN MY CAR. THE NISSAN SERVICE FACILITY INFORMED ME THAT MY ACTUATOR NOW NEEDS REPAIR, BUT NISSAN WILL NOT COVER THE EXPENSE SAYING THAT THEY "ALREADY COMPLETED THE RECALL". IS THIS HOW A RECALL WORKS? I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THIS SAME PART 6 MONTHS LATER. IF I WOULD HAVE WAITED AND HAD MY CAR TESTED TODAY I WOULD HAVE RECEIVED A NEW ACTUATOR. PLEASE HELP I AM NOT WELL VERSED IN CARS BUT AM CONCERNED THAT MY CAR IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THIS PART WAS RECALLED FOR A REASON AND I AM LOOKING FOR NISSAN TO HONOR THEIR RECALL AND FIX THE ACTUATOR SO MY CAR IS SAFE. LIVING IN THE MIDWEST WITH OUR CRAZY WEATHER; GOOD RELIABLE BRAKES ARE VERY IMPORTANT. I HAVE HAD ISSUES (WHICH I PREVIIOUSLY REPORTED) WITH MY BRAKES NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

WE WERE DRIVING ALONG 2 DIFFERENT TIMES AND THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING RIGHT. WE HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND WAS STILL BARELY STOPPING. IT WAS LIKE A VERY SLOW BREAKING PROCESS AND CAME CLOSE TO HITTING THE ONES IN FRONT AT A STOP LIGHT. BOTH TIMES WE NOTICED IT WAS WHEN WE WERE COMING TO A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT. EVENTUALLY THE BRAKES START TO WORK AGAIN. BUT WE DID NOTICE THAT WHEN THE CAR WAS STOPPED AND TURNED OFF AFTER THESE EVENTS, THE PEDAL WAS VERY LOOSE WHILE OFF.
