2012 Nissan Murano brakes problems

Filed Jan 9, 2022 · Brakes · RI

Could be an issue with ABS component. Car driving normally then when attempting to brake car slows but does not stop and driver needs to almost pin brake to floor to fully stop car. Car braking not acting as normal potentially putting driver at risk. No warning message. Car was brought to independent mechanic and they replaced rotors, pads and did system flush. Reason for report is in researching this issue I noticed there was a 2009 recall for the Murano with a similar issue. Not sure if this is just a part that is worn due to service or something similar to the 2009 issue. Issue happened again after the service described above but seems to de driving normally at this time.

On 3 separate occasions, my vehicle lost brake pedal pressure and had excessive travel to the floor requiring extra distance in order to bring the vehicle to a complete stop ABS to avoid a collision. On one occasion, I drove over a bump on the expressway and the brake pedal traveled all the way down to the floor. After pumping the pedal a few times, pressure was restored. All brake components are in proper working order and maintained by an ase master technician. The master cylinder does not show sign of leaking. A check online revealed that the 2009 muranos had the same exact issue (which is now a recall) that I am experiencing on my vehicle and was discovered to be a faulty ABS module. A check also revealed that certain 2011 murano had the same issue as the 2009 but no recall was ever issued.

I have been having issue with brake not braking completely for months. I took it into firestone to see what could be the issue they told me it was the master cyclindar, I got that fixed but still was having the same issue, took it back and could not figure out the problem so it was taken to grubbs nissan and now I am being told that it's the ABS actuator assembly and it was recalled for other new models but not mine. However it's still was a recall issue. I feel it could be fixed under the recall.

I was veering off a rural highway in a 2012 nissan murano onto a gravel parking area and started braking when I became aware that while applying brakes the peddle was not stopping the vehicle. I had to press very hard on brakes and it eventually stopped. I was probably going 30 MPH. The next day my wife had similar problems with brakes I brought the car to the dealership with information about what happened and after two weeks and about 200 miles they said they could not duplicate problems. I am still trying to resolve issues.
