I’ve experienced a complete brake failure and near collision involving my family. I have sent a formal written complaint to Nissan Corporate and I need to open a safety case immediately.” We were exiting the freeway when the brakes went to the floor. I tried to pump the breaks, that did not help, I dodge several cars and flew out into on coming traffic just missing two vehicles. The issue has been confirmed by Mountainview Auto Service. It has not been inspected by anyone other than Mountainview. No warning lights. We were headed out to dinner and on the freeway the traffic came to a stop and I had to use the emergency lane to stop and at that time I was able to pump the breaks, upon taking the van back home was when I experenice total break failure using only yhe emergency breaks to stop. Thuis all took place on December 27, 2025

I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, APPLYING BRAKES, SO CAR WAS GOING ABOUT 2MPH WHEN IT SUDDENLY BEGAN SHAKING AND RUMBLING. I WAS ON A SMALL DOWN HILL INCLINE. THE ENGINE JUST CUT OFF AND THE CAR DID NOT ALLOW ME TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES ANY LONGER. THE CAR CONTINUED ROLLING THROUGH THE RED LIGHT/ INTERSECTION WHEN I APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. PUT CAR IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED RESTARTING 4 TIMES, BUT IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO PRESS MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE IN ORDER TO START THE CAR. AFTER 4 ATTEMPTS, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO START. FUEL INDICATOR TOLD ME I HAD 33 MILES TO EMPTY. I DROVE ANOTHER 10 MILES AND FILLED THE GAS. *TR
