Takata recall: I brought the vehicle new, and around the 4th year, I started to notice that the brake light would come on. The first few repairs the brakes pads changed, line, cylinder, and full brake replacement:, but the issue persisted over the years without any mechanic that could provide me with an explanation of this problem. My main reason for writing this is because of the inherent danger of this brake issue. This problem has occurred while I was driving at highway speeds. Talking to other owners in social media groups this brake issue seems to be an issue with the pathfinder armada/titan models. This is a danger, please investigate.

Takata recall so yesterday while driving on the highway us 31 and it was raining I lost all functions of my brakes with my 3 year old daughter in the vehicle. This was the scariest experience ever I thought we were going to die. After coming to a complete stop and makeing a few phone calls I was advised to turn the vehicle off and turn it back on the brake light went off and brake functions started working properly. Really considering getting rid of my truck after this incident. We could have died.

I was driving slowly in perfect weather conditions in heavy traffic. I was far back from the car in front of me I then realized that the car in front of me had no taillights and was stopped , I stepped on the brakes and my brakes shimmied kind of like I was hydroplaining on water and then I hit the vehicle in front of me. The vehicle ran even though I hit them. This caused over 7,000 dollars worth of damage to my car and whiplash to me. Also a police officer saw the accident and he even said he saw how far away I was and did not understand why I did not stop. I am a parallel and I have already found that this is a safety issue nissan needs to be responsible for and if they are not I will take them to court. Thank you for looking in to this. My husband is also a us marine serving in iraq and we bought this vehicle because he wanted me to be safe therefore I hope nissan will take responsibility and fix these cars.
