My 2099 nissan murano has 67,000 miles, 2 days ago while traveling home from a local store in the rain trying to stop at a stop sign the brake pedal went completely to the floor and brakes did not work. The car went into the intersection, thankfully no other cars were coming. Brake pedal continues to go to the floor, car doesnot stops until standing on the pedal pushing it completely to the floor. Took it to my mechanic, he drained the brake lines to get rid of any air and put in new brake fluid. Did not help. He then told me to look at the complaints and open investigation about the many 2009 murano having this same problem and all the money owners have spent to try to fix the problem with no good results. I also called the nissan dealer and they said they never heard of any problems with the 2009 murano. I am thankful my mechanic did his homework. But now I am stuck with a $275.00 a month payment for a car that is not safe to drive and nobody, even the nissan dealers admit that there is a true problem or defect and nobody knows how to fix it. Without you admitting there is a defect and requiring a recall is forcing people to continue to drive these cars with faulty brakes. I just hope it does not take a death or two for this defect to be recalled because with all the documented issues being basically the same and your investigation being open for over a year I am sure many people will be opening law suits if death or injury occur. This is a serious situation and these car owners deserve more then what they are receiving from you and nissan. Time to step up and fix this before anybody else gets hurt or any deaths occur. Your note says to retain any documentation for 5 years, well in 5 years these cars will be14 years old and seeing that this problem seems to start around 65,000 miles, this needs fix now!

For the last couple of years, I have complained to the madison wi zimbrick nissan dealership service dept. About soft brakes. There were times when I didn't know if I would be able to stop at a stop sign. Numerous times I shifted the car into neutral before I had to stop because I wasn't sure I could make a stop.the antilock brakes failed a couple of times on ice and on water. The service department checked the brakes but said they were good. In june, 2018 I took the car in again to have the brakes checked. They replaced the brake fluid after bleeding the brakes, but it still didn't help. They said the next step was to replace the master cylinder. They did that, but it still didn't fix the problem. They then said they had to replace the actuator. They contacted nissan thinking that it would be paid for in a recall. But nissan said the VIN number wasn't part of a recall. I also contacted nissan, and they said the car was too old and had too many miles. Yet, the problem I had was identical to the 93,000 suvs nissan reported having to replace actuators. The service department manager felt that the repair should have been covered by nissan. I had to pay approximately $2400 for the repair and that was putting in a used actuator. I strongly feel, and the nissan service department manager feels, that this repair should have been covered under a nissan recall. The problems I experienced were identical to vehicles that had been covered under the recall.
