2019 Nissan Pathfinder Brakes Problems

Your brake pedal has completely failed on three separate occasions, going all the way to the floor with no braking response. Most recently, this happened while exiting a freeway at about 45 MPH near a traffic signal. You were able to avoid a collision and slow down on an uphill ramp, but total brake failure at highway speeds is extremely dangerous.

While merging on the freeway, your Pathfinder lost power and wouldn't accelerate normally, dropping to 60 mph. After pulling over to a nearby exit, the brakes suddenly locked up and the engine wouldn't restart. You had to call for roadside assistance and were stranded for nearly 3 hours. The combination of sudden power loss, brake lockup, and engine failure creates a serious safety hazard, especially when towing or driving with passengers.

Your instrument cluster repeatedly goes black, and your ABS, traction control, and check engine warning lights come on while driving at various speeds. A dealer diagnosed the problem as brake fluid leaking onto the circuit board and causing electrical shorts. The repair will likely involve replacing the brake fluid lines or seals to stop the leak and prevent damage to the electrical components.

Is it noted anywhere that the 2019 Nissan Pathfinder SV 4x4 vehicle's brakes wear rather quickly, that whatever pin was missing is not secured properly and as well as the brake fluid dissapating? All of this is vital to proper safety. Although I like Pathfinders, I will not subject myself or my funds to an unsafe vehicle and the repairing brakes every 3 months. I was told and shown that my vehicle had new front and rear brakes when it was purchased. My rear brakes wore out in 3 months of owning the vehicle and the front ones are wearing in their 5th month. When I had the rear brakes repaired at Tire South, they explained that I was missing a vital pin, which is why it was making noise. There was also no brake fluid present. They said I had been very lucky while driving.
