As i approached a stop sign on a secondary paved highway entering a primary highway, the above vehicle began to skid on a thin layer of gravel laid down on the blacktop for recent ice and snow control. The road was currently clear and dry. I applied the brakes which went halfway to the floorboard without antilock action.

While backing up from park position front brakes make a low groan or rubbiing sound like the calipers are not releasing properly. Have had it in the dealer twice, once they put molycote grease on the pads, then they replaced the pads and turned rotors all done with less than 5,000 miles,still has the problem. Also seems like once you brake and come to complete stop and start again takes alot of power to get going…

Left rear axle seal failed and grease from axle coated caliper and brake disc, rendering braking ineffective on that wheel. This is a known issue with nissan with a technical service bulletin (ntb100008) issued, but nissan only selectively applies the repair. Grease coating the brake appears visually the same as brake dust, and owner's manual requires inspection of seals only every 7500 miles, so braking may be lost…
