Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I am having to replace the right wheel cylinder in my 95 nissan quest for the 2nd time in less than 3 years. I was told that the first time I fixed it that it would be a long time before I would ever have to replace it again, well now it is less than 3 yrs later and I am having to replace it again. There seems to be a problem and I would like some answers.
Consumer applied brake at 40 MPH, pedal went to the floor, no braking action. Rearended vehicle in front, causing a 5 vehicle accident. Damage unknown at this time. No injury.
Brake pedal goes all way to floorboard. Dealership is aware of problem.
It was very icy on the road consumer pressed on brakes to avoid hitting another driver, and vehicle didn't stop. Consumer hit the other car in the rear, and airbags didn't deploy. Consumer feels that airbags should have deployed from the damage done to the vehicle.
While driving to a traffic light, slowed down, applied brakes and the brakes locked up. Frontal impact occurred when vehicle skidded. Dealer and manufacturer contacted, adjuster quoted $8800 in damage, one injury.
Abs brakes; when applying brakes in normal conditions, the pedal goes to floor and there is extended stopping distance before vehicle comes to a complete stop.

During vehicle operation a grinding noise is heard coming from the rear brakes when they are applied, as a result the drums have cracked and the driver's side rear shoe has broken.
Brakes make noise/grind.
