Consumer Description

IN MORNING, STARTED CAR, DROVE DOWN ROAD SHORT DISTANCE,WENT TO STOP AT STOP SIGN AT HIGHWAY AND BRAKES WERE HARD, WOULDN'T DECOMPRESS AT ALL, SLID ONTO HIGHWAY. TOOK TO DEALER, CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IT WAS IN WI, WAS COLD OUTSIDE,PARKED OUTSIDE AT NIGHT. THIS ALSO HAPPENED LAST YEAR IN WINTER, HAD IT HAPPEN TWICE, ONCE BACKING UP AFTER WORK AND ANOTHER AT STOP SIGN IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING CAR WHERE BRAKE PEDAL WAS FROZEN AND CAR WOULDN'T STOP. NARROWLY AVOIDED ACCIDENTS IN THESE CASES. SEEMS TO WORK BETTER AFTER CAR WARMS UP FOR A BIT. LAST YEAR, NISSAN DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND CLOSURE VALVE WHICH COST ME OVER 617.00 AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL THIS YEAR. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR NOW SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES TO ME. I COULD'VE BEEN IN VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OR DIED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR
