Lost brakes on the highway luckily was able to stop safely. As you can see in the pic the rear left brake line completely corroded in 1 spot and another spot was ready to completely fail, those spots are incidentally the spots where the line attaches to the body for support, those points don't have the corrosion protection that the entire line has.

I found while researching an issue on my Nissan Sentra 2007 that there was a recall on the master cylinder in 2008 because the same issue that just happened to me could happen. I never received a recall notification and apparently I was not on the list but my brake light came on and I had the maintenance shop check my brakes they said my pads were fine. That I was probably having an issue with the warning light. 2 weeks ago I got in my car and when I went to brake I had to push my foot all the way to the ground. I eventually made my way to my local Firestone and had them check my brakes only tho find that the master cylinder and the boosters needed to be replaced. When they pulled them they said they were full of brake fluid. That is why I had no brakes. This is the exact issue listed in the recall. Why was I not sent this recall notice as I obviously had defective cylinders and I had to spend $1300 to repair.

The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.

I was driving my car on the freeway and saw a small group of cars stopped in the road. I went to put on my brakes and nothing happened so I kept trying to brake pushing all the way down to the floor. I wedged myself between the SUV in front of me and the truck next to me. Also got rear ended by another vehicle. Air bags deplloyed and I received a few scratches bruises and muscle strain. I went to look up recalls about a month ago for my vehicle. Apparently my VIN is an invalid number. I received a ticket for failure to maintain my speed.

While going on up and down steep hills in a city all of a sudden the engine stalls and the breaks stop working. This happened to me several times and to my luck as there was no traffic I got escaped without any accidents. Both the times I stopped the vehicle by shifting it to the parking mode. Some times the steering also automatically shifts to manual mode and the steering becomes tight. So the issues are with both the brakes and steering and this could be a computer/communication glitch which is not communicating with the brakes properly. When I stop the vehicle and restarts after sometime again brakes works normally and everything works fine. But after some days this issue repeats. Right now I am taking the vehicle to the nearby dealer to get more information on the vehicle condition. Once I get a clear explanation of the vehicle condition I will add more information to this complaint. Right now the mileage on the vehicle is 105000. I think there are some recalls on this vehicle and I am not sure if they have recall on this particular case.
