The brake pedal suddenly feels spongey out of nowhere. The car stops when the pedal hits the floorboard of the car. This has happened to me a couple of times now ever since I had my car. I have took it to my local pep boys but all they did was replace my brake pads. It fixes the problem for a couple months but it ends up happen again. There are no warning lights showing up for my ABS or any of the braking system.

My car-??s ABS failed to turn on even when braking from a far enough distance in the snow and caused me to rear end a car at 5 mph. I was holding down the brakes from 20 cars away and it felt like my brakes were unresponsive and all the way to the floor as my car continued sliding. Nissan-??s voluntary recall was performed of flushing out the brake fluid and replacing it with the DOT 4 and it still failed as a working remedy for its defective ABS from what I have read from other owners. I love my car but might have to sell due to feeling unsafe driving in the snow. Please fix this Nissan before another accident occurs due to your defective ABS.

The contact owns a 2010 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that the brake pedal would intermittently depress to the floorboard without warning. The contact initially had a family member replace the brake master cylinder; however, the failure returned the following day. The contact then took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who recommended that the ABS actuator be replaced. The contact then called the manufacturer and was informed that there was a recall on her vehicle for a brake fluid flush, and the vehicle was towed to a dealer. A diagnostic test was performed, and a brake fluid flush was also performed on the vehicle. The failure returned soon after the repair. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer and was informed that she had to pay a diagnostic fee to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 110,300.

While driving under normal conditions, 35-50 mph, dry, good, smooth, straight road conditions, I applied the brakes and the pedal went almost to the floor before the brakes started being applied. I have since learned of a recall for prior model years (18V916000) and subsequent model years of my vehicle due to ABS problems. Part of the fix is to replace the dot3 factory-specified brake fluid specified for my vehicle with dot4 brake fluid due to corrosion of brake system components. I have determined that it is in fact an ABS problem, as I can now skid the tires during heavy braking, and the anti-lock brake pump does not activate. The brake pedal travels about 75 percent of the distance to the floor before any braking of the vehicle occurs.

- Missouri City, TX, USA

The contact owns a 2010 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that while her husband was driving and attempting to slow down, the brake pedal was depressed and failed to slow the vehicle. The brake pedal was pumped several times and the brakes operated as designed. The vehicle was driven back to the residence without further failures. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent and without warning. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The contact's husband was referred to five star Nissan (839 Warren dr, warner robins, ga 31088, (478) 287-4510) for further assistance. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was 99,000.

When I am driving and press the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal goes soft and down to the floorboard. I have to pump the brake in order for the car to stop. This doesn't happen all of the time, but it is happening at least once a day.it has happened when I am driving on a city street or when I am on the freeway.I have had to swerve and drive off the road in order to avoid an accident. I have taken the car to two dealerships, they check the car and can't replicate the problem and say nothing is wrong with the brakes. I am afraid to drive the car. I did some research on the internet and found that the 2009 Nissan Murano has had a recall (NHTSA campaign 18V916000) with the identical symptoms my vehicles is exhibiting. The problem is the ABS actuator. My car was manufactured in 2009 with the default parts, yet it was not part of the recall. This faulty brake system can be fatal if not addressed. The cost of the repairs is in excess of $2,000 and Nissan should pay for the repair for the faulty ABS actuator. I now have a car parked in the garage because I am afraid to drive my car and have to wait to save up to pay for the repair. Please look into this issue before someone is seriously injured.

Brakes are soft and do not engage properly. Brake travel time is longer than previously, creating greater risk of an accident.

Brake pedal goes to the floor before car will stop

- Hoover, AL, USA

I was driving down the road at approx 35 mph when I pressed on the brakes they went to the floor. I pulled over on the shoulder to prevent a collision. After pressing on the brakes again they began to function properly. I was headed to pick up my grand babies. ( thank god they were not in the vehicle) after turning the vehicle around to head home. The brakes malfunction again. This vehicle is unsafe to drive. I have my Murano in the driveway. I refuse to drive it until it's fixed. The part runs around $2000. This is crazy. I'm still paying for the vehicle and I can't even drive it. Had to barrow another vehicle just to get to work.

This is continuously happening, if I need to hit my brakes quickly, my break pedal become soft and I need to push the pedal all the way to the floor. This has now occurred in many instances and I drive with two toddlers in my car. I've had the dealer take a look at my breaks with a whole break rehaul, this is still occurring.

- Sacramento, CA, USA

Experienced soft brake pedals after the anti-lock braking systems activated from hitting potholes, manholes or rough road surfaces. I was about three car-lengths from the car in front of me on route 22 (major highway), that was stopped at the red light; therefore, put on my brakes to stop. However, when I put on my brakes, my brake pedal had to be pressed all the way to the floor for the vehicle to come to a stop. This now happens on a continual basis, whereby I have to allow more room between vehicles to allow stoppage. I have noticed that the 2009 model year has the same problem.

After an ABS activation event, during subsequent brake pedal presses, there is no braking effect for the first ~80% of brake pedal travel. All braking occurs in the final 20% of pedal travel distance. This has been observed numerous times over approximately the last 12 months. Steps: - vehicle is in motion (speed usually greater than 35mph) - brake is depressed - ABS engages successfully (due to some road condition causing vehicle to slide), brake pedal feel is normal - brake pedal is released - brake pedal is pressed again, without ABS activation. Observed problem: For the first 80% of brake pedal travel distance, there is no braking effect. - pedal feel may return to normal within a few seconds. In some cases, pedal feel has taken up to 30 minutes to return to normal. In several cases, the vehicle was pulled over and re-started in an attempt to get brake pedal feel to return to normal (this usually seemed to work). Initially this was diagnosed by a third-party mechanic, who recommended that the vehicle be taken to a Nissan-certified service center for repair. It was this mechanic and the customer's opinion that this is the same defect that 2009 Muranos have been recalled for (NHTSA campaign 18V916000), due to similarity in model year, parts and symptoms. Nissan service center reproduced the problem and indicated the ABS actuator as the suspect root cause. Have contacted Nissan customer care with this information - they stated that since the vehicle is not under warranty and there are no recalls for it, Nissan will offer no goodwill or assistance for this issue. I was told they will investigate, but that I should not expect any response or feedback. ABS actuator part number: 47660 1sw0A

All power to the vehicle was lost while parked in garage. Once car was jumped, all warning lights came on and stayed on. Drove to the shop to get new baterry. Speedometer was not working, map on gps was not working. Mechanic diagnosed that the ABS actuator needs to be replaced at a cost of $3,500. The car is unsafe to drive as I have no way to cover the cost of the repair. This apparently has been an issue with 2009 and again 2011 they 2017 vehicles. Why was 2010 skipped in the recall. I have a car in the garage that is unsafe and while all other years have been recalled, the 2010 owners are driving unsafe vehicles which could lead to disastrous accidents. Why is NHTSA not looking into this" will it take crashes to get someone's attention"

- Overland Park, KS, USA

The contact owns a 2010 Nissan Murano. While driving approximately 50 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but traveled to the floorboard without properly slowing the vehicle. The contact stated that there were no signs of a brake fluid leak; however, the brake fluid reservoir went from full to empty once the brake pedal was depressed. The contact also stated that the vehicle directional control became inoperable. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the failure recurred once. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 126,000.

Today, Nov 26, 2019, a dry, sunny day near boston my brakes on 2010 Murano failed and car rear ended the car in front at about 10mph. Pedal went all the way to the floor, car slowed slightly but was unable to stop with plenty of space to do so in normal conditions. Unable to steer around it due to oncoming traffic on left and hill on right. Damage to both cars. Police responded and car eventually towed to body shop.. noticed similar complaints but why no recall?

This symptom occurs at all speeds. When brakes are depressed, the pedal goes all the way to the floor. Brakes do not function properly causing increased stopping distance. This issue is a hazard for occupants of the vehicle and others on the road around the vehicle. The symptoms the vehicle is exhibiting are identical to 2009 Murano's that have brake modules and ECU's recalled. This vehicle has been removed from use pending replacements of the same components recalled on the prior year Murano's. the cost of the repairs is in excess of $2000 and should be at the expense of Nissan for installing faulty components. This faulty brake system can be fatal if not addressed, all Murano's with faulty brake components need to be recalled before it costs the lives of innocent parties. The expense of the repair out of pocket may discourage some owners from taking appropriate measures, increasing the risk. Trouble shooting other components to avoid the costly parts required to repair the problem is a burdensome expense for the owners and increases the safety hazards of Murano's on the road.

Soft brake pedal, brakes won't stop. Very dangerous. Same issue as 2009 recall. This is a 2010 but manufactured 10/2009 and should be included.

- Marysville, WA, USA

Brake pedal goes all the way to the floor without stopping. Same issue as the 2009 recall. My vehicle was manufactured 10/2009 even though it is a 2010. It should also be included in the 2009 soft brake pedal recall

- Marysville, WA, USA

I have almost gotten into a few car accidents because the brake pedal all of a sudden goes soft and I have to pedal it to the floor. Each time I've had to pull over to the shoulder to avoid the accident because it wasn't enough to stop in time. I can see that this is an ongoing issue as many other have reported the same problem for this vehicle and year. Nissan needs to get it together and fix this issue asap as lives are at risk
