On a continuing basis, while vehicle is in motion, applying the brakes causes brake pedal to sink to the floorboard with loss of braking power and with loud grinding noise coming from front of vehicle. Turning vehicle off then back on temporarily fixes the issue.

I was driving in traffic and my breaks went out and I almost got in a collision. The breaks at first didn't work and then were bouncing and grinding to stop and the break warning light came on. I swerved and barely missed another car. I pulled over in a parking lot there was a burning smell and let it sit for 4hr. I took it to get the breaks fixed an they couldn't find any issues with the breaking system except for the Delta Stroke Sensor Failure. I understand this has a been an ongoing issue with cars. One situation killed 3 people and Nissan lost a $25M lawsuit on this. I can't understand why this wouldn't be on a recall as issues with the breaking system is life threatening. My car is now at Nissan getting fixed, has been there for 2 weeks, they still can't figure out the issue with the Delta Sensor breaking system. This is very serious and no matter what age of the car, should be covered under a recall. You can find hundreds of articles online to understand how many cars are affected. Please look into this and issue a recall.

I've had several near collisions because breaks slip as though the ABS system is engaged and the brake light comes on. I have to find an area to pull off to stop the car then restart it to get rid of the problem temporarily.

Brake light on my dash will come on and all of a sudden I hit the brake and a violent jerking and grinding sound on the brake. The brake feels like it would slip for little and but will still stop the vehicle. I turn the engine off and everything became normal again. I took it to the dealer to get check and they said that the were not able to mirror the problem and send the vehicle back to me. Now it happen several times again and I would just turn the engine off and resolves the issue. This issue has a class action lawsuit and won. There had been plenty of complaint regarding this problem too from other owners. What I don't understand is that why is there no recall regarding this problem still.. Why am I being force to pay for this defect first and then get partially reimbursed

While driving approx. 30 MPH down city street in morning traffic, the emergency brake light randomly comes on and when I try to brake the car make a grinding noise and I do not have full braking power. When you turn the car off it resets and the car resumes to functioning normally. Local mechanic tested once, got no codes so replaced master cylinder. A week later it happens again; took it back and got a code c1179-brake booster....a $900+ job. Refuse to pay this kind of money when research show that this did not resolve the issue. Wrote to nissan but got no reply. Conducted a search and found that hundreds of people are having the same issue.
