The Actuator Assembly - Anti Skid has failed on my 2011 Frontier. My vehicle has cluster lights illuminated for ABS, brake, VDC, and SLIP. My independent mechanic pulled the codes and stated that they indicate the ABS module is going bad. This part has been discontinued by Nissan so I am not able to replace the part with a new part. The ABS system will not properly function which I would assume would be a safety issue and might impact more than the braking performance of the vehicle.

ABS module failed. The repair shop called the local Nissan dealership for parts. The Nissan dealership said the failure was a known issue. I called Nissan Customer Service for more info and they said no complaints had been filed.

While driving and attempting to stop at a stop sign the brakes became spongy (not firm) and pedal traveled to the floor resulting in longer braking distances unless I pump the pedal. This occurred after applying the brakes ahead of a stop sign as the vehicle rolled over a bump/irregularity in the road. The ABS and vdc (anti-slip) activated briefly then the pedal got soft. It remained in this condition (spongy and excessive pedal travel) until reached my destination. The first instance of this occurring the brake system seemed to correct itself with the vehicle parked and ignition off overnight (good pedal firmness and normal pedal travel and braking distances the next morning). However, after a second time this happened (brake gets soft after ABS and anti-slip activates) the spongy and long pedal travel remains. Replaced master cylinder and bled system (used motive power bleeder) did troubleshooting on brake booster, booster vacuum line and check valve and all checked fine. Inspected brake lines for bulges, damage and looseness at all calipers all ok. All pads and rotors checked good (no excessive wear or missing parts). Also, disconnected battery to see if the ABS/vdc system resets. No change to brake pedal travel and spongy feel. Brake problems as described still remains.

Vdc off/ slip light are coming on and off. I pushed the vsc button and it stays. Its full of fluid. Id just like to have a tech look at them, ive heard of this happening to other people on different Frontier forums.

The brake pedal lost all pressure and brakes did not function properly immediately after hitting some small bump in the road. This caused a collision with the car in front of my vehicle. Even after vehicle was repaired following this collision, master cylinder replacement, and full brake service, this issue still persists. Small road bumps make the brakes momentarily non-functional.

The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Frontier. While starting the vehicle, it accelerated without warning. The brake pedal was applied, but it was hard and failed to respond. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a fence. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure via email. No assistance was provided. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 150,000.

While applying my brakes in traffic while not moving very fast I hit a bump in the road and lost full pressure to my brake pedal it went to the floor and the truck jump to the right hand lane the some thing happened to weeks ago - the master cylinder was replaced at that time - the 1st time the pedal did not come back to full - but on 6/23 after an hour or so the pedal pumped back up (2011 Nissan Frontier)

When apply the brakes dont stop firmly. In pair of times involved in posible dead people thats walk in road.when apply brakes are going down to the top of the floor.

Both rear axles are leaking at 60,265 miles. I was told this could lead to brake pad contamination which would reduce braking capability as well as the effectiveness O the parking brake.

The vent for the rear differential clogged and a back up of pressure pushed the seals on the axle causing extensive damage to the axle and brakes. I do not drive off road or submerge the drive train.

Brake rotors have developed severe rust along brake pad surface. Not superficial rust. The surface is "pitted" with rust. Vehicle has 17000 miles. All 4 rotors require "turning" or replacement way too early. This confirmed by two reliable mechanics.
