My wife was driving our 1999 nissan quest on the interstate the first time the driver front brake locked up. She drove the vehicle to stones river nissan of murfreesboro, tn where they replaced the brake calipers, hoses, rotors, and pads. The brake pads wore out after only 8k miles. Took the vehicle to a different shop to have a tire repaired and the pads replaced and the driver's front locked up again on the technician while road testing his repair. This shop insisted on replacing the driver front brake hose despite knowing it was relatively new. This did not work & they replaced the brake caliper (again) and gave up after it locked up yet again. They towed it to sr nissan, who diagnosed a bad master cylinder & replaced it. Driver front brake still locked up at the shop, now diagnosing bad ABS actuator they say was caused by the seals inside the mc deteriorating. My opinion is that this is a design defect, if particulates from a mc can float and clog an ABS actuator to the point that lockup of an individual brake occurs. Abs is supposed to prevent lockup, not cause it. The brakes are actually ford design and implementation. I know someone who also had a ford explorer and the passenger front brake locked up on her intermittently like my wife's has. The ABS actuator is not available new anymore, my only recourse is to install a junk part which is most likely defective. I think both companies need to be investigated and I think nissan should have to find a new part and pay for installation costs.

Tl*the contact owns a 1999 nissan quest. While driving 70 MPH, the front driver's side brakes locked up. The contact had a difficult time controlling the vehicle, but managed to drive to the dealer. The dealer stated that the brake hose was the cause of the failure and the braking components overheated. The dealer suggested that the rotors, pads, caliper, and hose on both sides of the vehicle be replaced. The repairs were made, but the failure recurred 8,000 miles later. He took the vehicle to a repair shop and they replaced the pads and turned the rotors. The mechanic test drove the vehicle and the driver's side brakes locked up again. The dealer replaced all the components again and recharged the contact over $300. The dealer currently states that the ABS actuator needs to be replaced. The failure mileage was 108,000.

I have had to look into alignment probelms again and replace the brakes and the tires again. I also was told by the dealer that this was because of "normal" wearing of the cv joints and that my front axle was shot so I had to replace this too. I have had so much tire, tire valve, brake and front end trouble, it's ridiculous.

Where to start.... Brakes; 65,000 miles and we're on the 4th set (we've replaced them 3 times)! Efi... Every 25,000 miles the throttle sticks and yes, we joined the class action. And the latest? The crossover pipe on the exhaust system broke, filling the cabin with exhaust... Engine parts should last longer.
