brakes/ ABS brake system: Still in use currently. Not reproducible, very erratic; once every few days of operation. No outside inspections to date. No warning lights of messsages/ error codes before or after the brake failure. Event: Brake will fail on rare occasions randomly. No particular event precedes the failure: (corner; speed; trip duration; road vibration; etc). When brake is pressed, pedal drops to near the floor before giving some back pressure. No noticeable speed reduction here. If brakes are pumped they will begin to delevope pressure with some reduction in velocity. After several more pumps the brake activation returns and car can be stopped. No accident from this problem yet. Brake reservoir is full and has been full during these problems. This seems very similar to the 2009 murano recall for ABS system failure. the federal safety agency Campaign Number 18V916. Murano did a prior recall repair around 2020ish, and changed to DOT4 I think. That is the indicated fluid for this system. Very dangerous, and completely unexpected failure; luckily the emergency brake still works.

What owners say
Brake pedal goes to the floor before car will stop
Today, nov 26, 2019, a dry, sunny day near boston my brakes on 2010 murano failed and car rear ended the car in front at about 10mph. Pedal went all the way to the floor , car slowed slightly but was unable to stop with plenty of space to do so in normal conditions. Unable to steer around it due to oncoming traffic on left and hill on right. Damage to both cars. Police responded and car eventually towed to body shop.. Noticed similar complaints but why no recall?
This symptom occurs at all speeds. When brakes are depressed, the pedal goes all the way to the floor. Brakes do not function properly causing increased stopping distance. This issue is a hazard for occupants of the vehicle and others on the road around the vehicle. The symptoms the vehicle is exhibiting are identical to 2009 murano's that have brake modules and ecu's recalled. This vehicle has been removed from use pending replacements of the same components recalled on the prior year murano's. The cost of the repairs is in excess of $2000 and should be at the expense of nissan for installing faulty components. This faulty brake system can be fatal if not addressed, all murano's with faulty brake components need to be recalled before it costs the lives of innocent parties. The expense of the repair out of pocket may discourage some owners from taking appropriate measures, increasing the risk. Trouble shooting other components to avoid the costly parts required to repair the problem is a burdensome expense for the owners and increases the safety hazards of murano's on the road.
Brake pedal goes all the way to the floor without stopping. Same issue as the 2009 recall. My vehicle was manufactured 10/2009 even though it is a 2010. It should also be included in the 2009 soft brake pedal recall
Hit a bump while braking and ABS kicked off, then the brakes went to the floor. Tried to pump brakes but brakes are still soft and on the floor. Turned off ignition and pumped brakes to see if that would reset, but brakes are not returning back to normal.
This complaint is to report the incident that happened yesterday july 25 2019 with 2010 nissan murano. Traveling at 45 miles per hour traffic was stopped suddenly in front of me. I slammed on the brakes, which the pedal went to the floor but barely engaged. I had to pull onto the shoulder to avoid a collision. This issue is persistent, even after replacing the brake pads and master cylinder. The federal safety agency please help with this defect with the 2010 murano. The 2009 has a recall, so should the 2010.
The first time my brakes went out I almost went to the front of a building. I took it to the mechanic and they drove my car and said nothing was wrong with it. A few weeks later my brakes went out while I was driving on the highway again. I took it back to the mechanic and they decided the master cylinder needed to be replaced. A few weeks later I was driving my car again & it would not stop. The brakes went all the way to the floor. I took my car back to the mechanic and they changed out the new master cylinder with a another nissan master cylinder. All was fine. A few weeks later and my brakes stopped working again.
Without warning, while in motion the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. After analysis, the mechanic thought that it might be the master cylinder. It was not, and he indicated that it was the ABS actuator or an ABS braking issue. I took it to the nissan dealer and they said there were no brake recalls and that any service or investigation would be at my expense. This vehicle only has 71,600 miles on it and the braking system certainly should not be compromised at this point. It is a safety issue, that has been haunting nissan in the past, is my opinion. I feel that nissan needs to take care of seriousness of this safety.
'takata recall' when trying to stop on roads that are highway or city and it is raining, snowing, or I hit a pot hole and the ABS system turns on the brakes stop working and the pedal goes to the floor.
Brakes failed and replaced master cylinder twice brakes failed again . Pedal went to the floor while driving.
Brakes went to the floor lost control of vehicle. Went on lawn to avoid hitting a pedestrian. Vehicle has been in the nissan dealership in the past for this exact problem that randomly appears. 2009 had a vol recall and the affected parts involved are in this model year as well. The date codes show it to be a 2009 part. Nissan would not assist us. Brake returned to normal operation. Vehicle has under 60k miles on it. Over $3000.00 for repair
