Had a scare yesterday when my Mo's brakes significantly failed unexpectedly.
I was just reaching a stop sign and ran over a small pothole. As I pressed the brake pedal the car slowed down, but it would not stop. Had the pedal all the way to the floor and it didn't come to a complete stop until about 6-7 feet beyond the stop sign. Scary...
It kept on happening for the remainder of the drive. I parked and turned off the car, and inspected the brakes and tires. I didn't see anything and started it up again - strange thing, now its like nothing happened and brakes are fine! Brought it to Nissan service, they didn't see anything wrong. He suspected it was an electrical glitch and restarting had reset it.
Anybody had anything like this happen before?
2009, just reached 71,000 miles. Never had problems with the brakes (except for that incessant squealing!!). Oh, had the squealing since day one (March 2008), brought it to the dealer twice and they never figured it out, or heard it, of course.
