June of 2022 I pressed my brakes and the brakes didn’t respond and went completely to the floor. I had the brakes and rotors replaced and over the next two months it did that 3-4 more times. August of 2022 this intermittent problem became more consistent and I took it to a mechanic, two other mechanics and they could not diagnose the problem since it wasn’t doing it for them. These people suggested I take it to the Nissan dealership. The Nissan dealer also said they couldn’t find anything wrong and bleed the brakes. They indicated that air was present in the brakes. The brakes responded appropriately for one week and began to intermittently not respond and go to the floor again. I had to pump the brakes for the car to stop. I took it back to The Nissan dealer and again they found nothing wrong. Next step was replacing the master cylinder and bled the brakes again. The brakes worked for 8 days before failing again. Over $1000 in work abs the brake are still not consistently working and I feel unsafe not knowing when the car will or will not stop.

CAR FEB BRAKES WHEN NO OTHER CARS AROUND AND SETS OFF MALFUNCTION LIGHT. DOES DURING TURNS OR WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. AGAIN, THIS OCCURS WHEN NO OTHER CARS ARE PRESENT. A REVIEW OF INTERNET SHOW A COUPLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS FOR FRONT END BRAKING SYSTEM DOING THIS. IT OCCURS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING FOR NO REASON. LUCKILY NO WRECK. *TR

WE PURCHASED OUT 2016 NISSAN ROGUE IN FEBRUARY OF 2017. IT ONLY HAS ~14K MILES ON IT AND THE ROTORS HAVE ALREADY WARPED. WE TOOK IT TO GAINESVILLE NISSAN AND ALL THEY DID WAS TURN THE ROTORS AND STATE THAT NISSAN DOES NOT CONSIDER THE ESSENTIALLY NEW ROTORS TO BE FAULTY. THE WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY DEFINITION OF FAULTY IS AS FOLLOWS: MARKED BY FAULT OR DEFECT :IMPERFECT. THE ROTORS ARE ESSENTIALLY NEW AND TURNING THEM VERY MUCH LIMITS THE LIFETIME OF THE PART. THE ROTORS AND PADS SHOULD BE REPLACED TO MAKE SURE WE ARE SAFE. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THESE LOW MILEAGE ROTORS TO HAVE WARPED. HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN THIS SITUATION?
