Traveling down the road in stop and go traffic i looked in my rearview mirror and then back to the vehicle in front of me. I was doing 15-20 mph and saw they had stopped and i was in danger of a collision if fast action wasn't taken. When depressing the brake pedal in a panic manner the vehicle did not slow due the accelerator being depressed at the same time as the brake due to the closeness of the pedal. This…

When the consumer took the vehicle for a tire rotation, it was discovered all four rotors needed to be replaced. The consumer believed the problem was due to contaminated brake fluid.

I have a 2006 nissan frontier pickup id # [xxx] . I had to replace the front rotors at 20,000 miles and now at 40,000 miles i am having to replace both front and rear rotors. I am 60 years old and have not changed my driving style. These brakes seem to be wearing out at about three times the rate of the brakes of any previous vehicle that i have known. This seems to be a design defect. Information redacted pursuant…

The brake pedal is lower than the accelerator pedal. I all most hit a tree because of depressing the accelerator and brake pedals. The owners manual states the brake pedal should be at least 4.1 inches from the floor. My truck is about 3 inches from the floor. The dealer says it is ok. The dealer doesn't know what he is doing. I had trouble getting things repair with this dealer, piedmont nissan. *tr

I have a 2006 nissan frontier with a v6 engine and automatic transmission. This is a on going problem. The brake pedal is to close to the accelerator pedal. The brake pedal can be depressed lower than the accelerator pedal. This can cause your foot to depress the accelerator pedal when braking. This is especially bad when backing a trailer. I almost hit a tree when backing a utility trailer. It is extremely scary…
