2006
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
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. *TR
