We purchased a used 2017 nissan sentra in april 2019. It currently has 49,000 miles on it, and for the past three months there has been a problem with intermittent soft brakes. The pedal will go all the way down to the floor. Mechanic had problems diagnosing it because it was intermittent. Finally he replicated the issue and flushed air out of the brake lines. Brakes worked properly for a few days, and then issue started up again. Still trying to get the mechanic to diagnose the problem.
2017 Nissan Sentra brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 22 of 22, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The car's brakes stopped responding in the highway and the car hit one side of the road (it was snowing) then it cut 3 lanes and went all the way to the other side and hit the wall again. The impact was high, the vehicle has major damage but the airbags never deployed.
While stationary, vehicle will not start when trying to start vehicle with push start there are also no brake lights when brakes are applied. Periodically the ABS light will turn on, while driving on multiple types of roads, for no reason and will not turn off until car is turned off and restarted. This began approximately 1 year again in 2019 and has continually gotten worse and won't start daily. Dealership told me my car is no longer under warranty and therefore would be an out of pocket expense. At the time the issue began my car was only 2 years old. There are numerous complaints online regarding the same issue with other car owners, how is this not a recall issue already???
My car is having the issue where when the brake is pressed it does not detect it and the car will not start, also the ABS and traction control lights remain on there are other cars that nissan is recalling for the same issue yet this one has yet to get a recall making it a very unreliable and unsafe issue
When in a stationary position and off the car's automatic start will not start the car even when pressing on the brake petal and pressing the automatic start button. The car will cycle through the electronic warning on the dashboard to say - press the brake pedal and press the start button. The car will not start. Instead it will cycle through the radio coming on and the dash illuminating and then to off. The car will not start. It first occurred on 11/26/19, on two separate occasions. First occasion was attempting to leave our home garage. Second occasion was directly following occasion 1 as we attempted to leave the grocery store parking lot. The third was on 12/3/19, as we attempted to leave a metro parking garage. The vehicle will take 3-4 attempts and full cycles (5 minutes) to start the car.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 nissan sentra. When the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle would not come a complete stop. The contact drove the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the defect was related to the central processing unit. The contact stated that the check engine and tire pressure warning indicators illuminated. While driving 10 MPH, the vehicle shut off without warning. The vehicle had not been removed from the scene of the failure. The manufacturer was notified and informed the contact to have the vehicle towed to o'neil nissan (849 street rd, warminster, pa 18974, (215) 674-9300). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
My 2017 nissan sentra with 37,000 miles will not start. I have the keyless ignition and when I try to start the car I keep getting a message to press the brakes. I have the brake peddle pressed but car does not register that. I worry that the brakes are going to fail while driving. If I keep pressing the peddle eventually the car will start. This has been on-going for the past 3-4 weeks.
Tamara recall: my car has the push button start and I just recently purchased it with 50,000 miles on it. It used to only happen every once in a while and as of yesterday it happens every single time I try to turn on my car. I push the brake and push the button and everything will light up but the car won't turn on. Then the push brake light comes on and push start button comes on and I try it again but this time the brake is really hard to push down and doesn't allow me to push it in far enough to be able to actually start it. After continuously pushing the brake and this button and disconnecting the battery and jiggling the brake for like 10 minutes I might finally get it to come on if I'm lucky. I've seen online a lot of people have had this issue but nothing tells me how I can go about fixing it.

Brake pedal sensor is defective, it interemittently detects the brake pedal being pressed and allows the car to start. Sometimes the brake pedal will go completely to the floor and sometimes it woll not activate at all. Sometimes the brake light will not go out and the car will not start. Sometimes if I pump the brake pedal the light will go out and the car will start. Sometimes if I have the door open and press the pedal the car will start=, sometimes there is no problem at all
