It is random when it happens but this will be the third time this has happened. While driving my car will stop, the car will still be running, steering wheel is stiff and I’m not able to accelerate and sometimes brake. It is very dangerous! This car should have a recall!

I EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF BRAKE PRESSURE WHEN STARTING MY CAR AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR ONLY FROM A LOW SPEED. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE CLOSEST DEALER, MARTIN NISSAN IN SKOKIE IL. THE DEALER REPORTED A FLUID LEAK AND THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER BUT STILL OBSERVED THAT THERE WAS STILL A LOSS OF BRAKE PRESSURE. THE DEALER THEN REPLACED THE ABS BRAKE ACTUATOR WHICH RESOLVED THE BRAKE PRESSURE ISSUE. THE ABS BRAKE ACTUATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE BEFORE ON THIS VEHICLE, ONCE UNDER NHTSA SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN 16V193000 AND ONCE UNDER NHTSA SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN 16V636000.

2016 NISSAN MAXIMA BREAKS SQUEAK ON EVERY STOP. DEALER, HEARS THE NOISE, CLAIMS RESURFACED ROTORS, SANDED BREAK PADS HOWEVER THE NOISE PERSISTS. CONCERN OVER THE RELIABILITY OF THE BREAKING SYSTEM. HAD DEALER LOOK AT THE BREAKS 5 SEPARATE APPOINTMENTS. THEY NOW SAY THE NOISE IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PADS AND I HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. MY CONCERN IS THERE MAY BE A DEEPER ISSUE THAT THEY ARE NOT ADDRESSING. I COMMUTE 100 MILES DAILY ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I AM EXPRESSING THIS CONCERN FOR SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THE SAFETY OF THIS ISSUE. NEW CAR BREAKS JUST DON'T SQUEAL ON EACH BREAKING ACTION. PLEASE REVIEW AND ADVISE ME OF ANY AVENUE THAT I CAN USE TO GET THIS ADDRESSED AS WELL AS TAKE MY COMMENTS TO ADDRESS OTHERS WITH THE SAME CONCERN. THANK YOU.
