NHTSA Complaint #10515400 — 2011 NISSAN ROGUE

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FEEDER ROAD WHEN I HAD TO SUDDENLY BRAKE DUE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE ATTEMPTING AN UNSAFE LANE CHANGE. MY VEHICLE SLOWED, AND THE ABS ACTIVATED. LESS THAN A SECOND LATER, THE BRAKES DEACTIVATED ALL TOGETHER. I WAS STILL PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT MY VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL AS IF THERE WERE NO BRAKES ALL TOGETHER. I IMMEDIATELY DISENGAGED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ATTEMPTED TO RE-ENGAGE THE BRAKES SIMPLY TO TEST THE BRAKES, BUT THE VEHICLE JERKED A FEW TIMES AND ROLLED AGAIN. I TRIED AGAIN, AND THE BRAKES ENGAGED NORMALLY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE INCIDENT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. I INFORMED THEM THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE AND ASKED IF I COULD SPEAK WITH THE DEALERSHIP MANAGER AND WAS TOLD I HAD TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I CAN NO LONGER TRUST MY VEHICLE TO KEEP ME SAFE ON THE ROAD AND HAVE SINCE ONLY USED IT AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. *TR
