In owners' own words
While driving my Nissan Murano 2011, the car lost its brakes while driving on the road. I started pumping the brakes until they started working, but defective. I went to Nissan center and they told me that they had to change the master cylinder and he wasn't surprised. Told me that this was not their first case, but there were no recalls, so I have to pay $600 for a new master cylinder. Service brakes
When braking hard the brake pedal softens and doesn't brake well it's dangerous and I was informed it was a manufacturing error. It happens all the time city highway pulling out of my drive way the vehicle can be moving or stationary this problem still occurs I was told it's the actuator and ecu antiskid.Part number 47660-1swoc supersession 01225-1aa6c;47660-1aa6b;47660-1aa6c;476601swoc Service brakes
Without warning, brakes begin to feel spongy, have to press brake pedal almost to floor before response. Several close calls now as a result of intermittent changed braking performance. As a result, had brakes checked, fluid drained, master cylinder replaced, brake lines drained, no change in performance. Not comfortable driving car, feels unsafe.
