Master cylinder needs replacing. my daughter could have crashed as brakes went all the way to floor. nissan knows this issue exists with 2013 nissan sentra and no recall?
Brakes go out easy/bottom of car is a total mess and non stop problems.
While driving on a city street, brake pedal suddenly went all the way to the floor and continued to malfunction until vehicle was brought to a stop. independent mechanic and nissan dealership both determined the cause was the main cylinder. mileage on car was 39,000. there was no indication of any brake issues before malfunction (no check engine lights, no noises from brakes, etc.).
As i was driving on the freeway in heavy traffic, i pressed on the brakes to stop and i had to press the pedal all the way to the floor to activate the breaks. this caused me to almost hit the car in front of me. this happened several more times on my way home. i took the car to the dealer and they eventually diagnosed the car with a cracked master cylinder. the car is roughly 5 years old and this is the second major problem that it has had within the month - 1st the transmission and then 2nd the breaks. these are 2 of the 3 most frequently reported problems with this make/model. the car is under 60k miles. according to most sources, the master cylinder is supposed to last the life of the car. nissan reports that no recall/customer education has been done for either of those things for that make/model. it seems irresponsible of them.
Takata recall. transmission went out without showing codes.. nissan kept saying it was nothing wrong with car but the car was stalling and pulling at times in the middle of making a turn on city streets the car wouldnt go.. no check engine light never came on. so it took months of them refusing to fix and my warranty company to actually fix the problem. also, the master break cylinder went out without notice. i have had many mechanics look at car and say that my car has very little miles for this to happen so soon.. while driving on main roads and highways the brake pad will go all the way to floor. when at a red light and stop sign or any time i am at a stop the car keeps moving with brade pad on floor of car..

When driving my car on the highway or city streets, i lose speed and can't use pedal to accelerate to pick up any speed.car won't go pass 20 mph.
Vehicle brake pedal travels further than normal. have checked brake pads, brake shoes, adjust hand brake flush brake fluid and refill and bled all 4 brake lines. no improvement. i bought used.
Brakes have unusually long pedal travel coming to a full stop. after coming to a full stop, additional pressure is required to keep the car from drifting forward. incident happens repeatedly. we purchased the car used, with a rebuilt title. i had the brakes checked at a garage, and had the lines bled to make sure there was no air in the lines. there are no warning lights indicating a problem with the brakes.
This car has excessive break pedal travel, then break failure to stop. pedal sinks to floor and renders the breaking system useless. fluid is full, and clean. break pads are in mid to high capacity.
Master cylinder. on saturday 1/27/18 i was driving my car home after making a stop and the brakes quit working. i had to slam on my brakes to get the car to stop. i finally got home after a stressful drive. i took my car to one service center the next day (1/28) and they topped out the fluids but found nothing else wrong. i got in the car to drive home and had the same issue. thus, on monday (1/29) i took the car to a downtown service center (non-nissan) and they diagnosed that the master cylinder needed to be replaced. i had that item replaced at a cost of $732. i then sent a letter to nissan requesting reimbursement for this problem because the car was only 5 years old and 67000 miles. nissan said since i did not bring it to a nissan dealership and have their diagnostics run they would not reimburse me. however, a week or two earlier i was at a nissan dealership for a shift lock problem and they ran diagnostics then. they told me they could not recreate the problem and did run diagnostics. they said everything was fine. ...

While attempting braking and braking the car stalls. all lights turn on and vehicle dies. sometimes restarts after stall other times it takes awhile to restart while on the roads. this a safety hazard! it is currently parked not functioning properly.
I went to stop at a traffic light and i was unable to deploy the brakes. the car started to roll forward, i then tried slamming on the brakes, but the car accelerated through the intersection and i ended up crashing the car.
