Needed new front and rear brakes 26K miles, no warning squeak just metal to metal grind. Which means not only pads but rotors as well. Dealer said normal to replace front and rear brakes 25K miles.

Traveling at 35 mph approaching intersection where light had turned red. Began decelerating as I approached the stopped traffic. Getting closer, to the stopped traffic, I began to brake. I felt a "catch" on the brake pedal, and then it failed and went all the way to the floor. I tried braking four or five times again, but the brake went to the floor and I watched as if in "slow motion" as I knew I would be hitting a large auto Transport truck in front of me. Since I had already began decelerating and the amount of damage done to my vehicle in comparison to the size of a double decker auto Transport truck was not that extensive, I am guessing I was traveling approx. 25 to 30 mph at the time of impact. The airbag was deployed on impact. The brakes following the accident were fine; however, I am concerned about this failure occurring again. I have read that there have been complaints about squeaking brakes with the 2006 Nissan Murano which we have experienced. I am concerned that there may be a computer glitch or problem with the ABS, and could this happen again. The vehicle is currently at the dealership for repair of damage, and I will be going there to discuss the braking problem.

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Murano. While driving at any speed, the vehicle made an unfamiliar noise. Everytime the vehicle was stopped, it felt as if the rear of it was being struck. The steering wheel becomes difficult to turn when the failure occurs. The contact stated that the vehicle continues to move when the brake pedal is depressed. A mechanic stated that the transmission transfer case failed. The current and failure mileages were 49,500.

Every time I touch the brake I hear a squeaking sound. Sounds almost like a bird. I took it to the dealer and they said they oiled it. The sound went away but is now back again after only a few weeks.
