Pathfinder 6-cyl

  • 64,000 miles
When I stepped on the brakes they seemed to react normally. Then the pedal went to the floor. At that point it was braking but not as efficiently as it should. The inefficiency of the brakes would have caused me to overshoot the stopping point of the intersection. Rather than stop in the middle of the intersection, I applied the accelerator to get through the intersection. The brakes continued to operate in that manner for the reminder of that trip. On all subsequent uses of the truck, which was to get back to our hometown dealership, the brakes did respond normally. It has been at the dealer since 2/9/20 and they have not been able to replicate the problem. They have checked dtc's, wiring, vacuum hoses, rotors, pads, brake booster, master cylinder, and fluid and cannot find any problems.

If the transmission in the "N" position (neutral), the parking break can't hold the car on incline space! that problem exist in all Nissan Pathfinders year 2012 and up, we find it in the other Pathfinders on the dealership too (that means it is not the single problem just with my car), but the dealership technician told me that this is normal for this model("!") if the transmission in the "P" position (park) that problem does not exist (because the transmission holds the car) but the parking break itself can not hold the car on incline! I did not find the same problem on any other models/makes...
