Experienced soft brake pedals after the anti-lock braking systems activated from hitting potholes, manholes or rough road surfaces. I was about three car-lengths from the car in front of me on route 22 (major highway), that was stopped at the red light; therefore, put on my brakes to stop. However, when I put on my brakes, my brake pedal had to be pressed all the way to the floor for the vehicle to come to a stop. This now happens on a continual basis, whereby I have to allow more room between vehicles to allow stoppage. I have noticed that the 2009 model year has the same problem.

What owners say
Soft brake pedal, brakes won't stop. Very dangerous. Same issue as 2009 recall. This is a 2010 but manufactured 10/2009 and should be included.
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
Brakes all the way to the floor! Almost caused accident! Same problem that all of the 09's have been recalled for yet nissan will not recall. (spongy brakes)
2010 nissan murano, in may I was traveling at approximately 35 MPH in town driving as I approached a street light I applied the brakes. The pedal was soft and went to the floor. Standing hard on the breaks I was able to stop, narrowly avoiding a rear end collision. Brake fluid was at a safe level. Changed brake pads. I still have soft brake pedal. I have to drive extra careful and ensure I give myself four times normal stopping distance. I have been researching to determine possible cause. I see many issues that nissan muranos have had with brake issues. Brakes are a major safety issue jeopardizing public safety. Respectfully request that the federal safety agency demand an inspection and correction recall for this known, widespread issue.
Soft brake pedal after a 90 degree intersection turn. Pressure loss in brake pedal after that. Now it requires to press the brakes a lot more to have same braking effect as before.
