SERVICE BRAKES
When I discovered the car was not stopping after depressing the peddle and the brake light was coming on. I checked the fluid level and fluid was needed. I topped the fluid level off and it did not solve the problem. I then took it to a mechanic and ask to have the brakes checked. he then replaced the front pads. Once they were replaced he bled the system according to the mfg. recommendations. I now have a solid peddle but still do not have brakes. The peddle moves less than an inch when applied. He checked on line @ NHTSA for a recall and discovered the Recall number PM813 for the Master Cylinder and the car's VIN number had an Unrepaired Recall. I would like to get this recall taking care to keep my family safe.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that when the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for a routine oil change, the mechanic informed her that during the test drive, the brake pedal was depressed but failed to respond, and was depressed to the floorboard. The contact stated that the mechanic used the parking brake to prevent the vehicle from crashing inside the shop. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was diagnosed that the brake master cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 155,000.

SERVICE BRAKES
Lost brakes on the highway luckily was able to stop safely. As you can see in the pic the rear left brake line completely corroded in 1 spot and another spot was ready to completely fail, those spots are incidentally the spots where the line attaches to the body for support, those points don't have the corrosion protection that the entire line has.

Caught on fire under the hood and burned the car very badly. Fire department was called to extinguish the fire. The damage was total to the under the hood components and hoses and wiring harnesses. Car ignition was off while I was in the store for just a couple of minutes and when I came out the car was in flames. I could see the car from inside the store through the window and no one was around it at all.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
Problem is cvt transmission. Transmission main seal leak. Whine, to loss in acceleration and power. At certain speed. Cvt internal belt flapping. Resulted in full shut down of vehicle while on highway. Caused speed control sensor and throttle body sensor to go out which started minor electrical fire in the engine compartment which could have resulted in great bodily injury and possibly hurting others if accident would have and very much could resulted in for sure. Multiple times to mechanic resulting in stress and out of pocket expensive currently with a mechanic now. Nissan cvt transmission...

SERVICE BRAKES
I FOUND WHILE RESEARCHING AN ISSUE ON MY NISSAN SENTRA 2007 THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE MASTER CYLINDER IN 2008 BECAUSE THE SAME ISSUE THAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME COULD HAPPEN. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION AND APPARENTLY I WAS NOT ON THE LIST BUT MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD THE MAINTENANCE SHOP CHECK MY BRAKES THEY SAID MY PADS WERE FINE. THAT I WAS PROBABLY HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE WARNING LIGHT. 2 WEEKS AGO I GOT IN MY CAR AND WHEN I WENT TO BRAKE I HAD TO PUSH MY FOOT ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND. I EVENTUALLY MADE MY WAY TO MY LOCAL FIRESTONE AND HAD THEM CHECK MY BRAKES ONLY THO FIND THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BOOSTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN THEY PULLED THEM THEY SAID THEY WERE FULL OF BRAKE FLUID. THAT IS WHY I HAD NO BRAKES. THIS IS THE EXACT ISSUE LISTED IN THE RECALL. WHY WAS I NOT SENT THIS RECALL NOTICE AS I OBVIOUSLY HAD DEFECTIVE CYLINDERS AND I HAD TO SPEND 1300.00 TO REPAIR.

CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT BEGUN SPUTTERING AND SHAKING AS I ACCELERATED. I DROVE BACK HOME, ABOUT 5 MINUTES, AND OPENED THE HOOD. CAR WAS ON AND PARKED FOR THE VISUAL INSPECTION. MY PARTNER PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO SEE IF I COULD SEE WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE MOTOR SHOOK WHEN IT WAS PUT IN REVERSE. IMMEDIATELY SOMETHING NEAR THE FUEL LINES STARTED TO EMIT SMOKE. IT LOOKED LIKE ALUMINUM FOIL. THE CAR HAD A HALF TANK OF GAS AND GAUGES SEEMED NORMAL. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WENT INSIDE THE HOUSE TO GET MY TOOLS. WHEN I CAME OUT, THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES COMING FROM THE MOTOR. 9-1-1 WAS CALLED AND FIREFIGHTERS PUT OUT THE FIRE IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES. THE FIRE SPREAD RAPIDLY AND THE CAR WAS DESTROYED WHEN THE FIRE WAS FINALLY EXTINGUISHED. *TR

MY VEHICLE WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT 4-2-2015. MERCURY INSURANCE LISA OPENSHAW FAILED TO INVESTIGATE THE UNDERBODY OF THE CAR IN THE REAR. SHOCKS WERE BENT INWARDS IN THE REAR AND NEVER REPAIRED BY MERCURY. I HAD THE SHOCKS REPAIRED. ALONG WITH THE ESTIMATES OF REPAIR LISA OPENSHAW THREATENED ME BY STATING THAT MERCURY PAID FOR REPAIRS TWICE DUPLICATING LABOR ON SAME MATTERS. SHE TRIED TO SAY THE DAMAGES ON THE INSIDE DID NOT MATTER AND DAMAGES ON THE OUTSIDE WAS ALL THAT MATTERED. SHE ALSO TRIED TO VIOLATE THE LAW TO SAY I COULD NOT USE MY OWN REPAIR FACILITIES. THE DAMAGES TOTAL ENOUGH TO TOTAL THE CAR AND MY VEHICLE WAS PLACED AT RISK COMPROMISING MY SAFETY WHILE DAILY DRIVING. I SENT A COMPLAINT REGARDING THE NEGLIGENCE OF MY CAR NOT BEING RIGHTFULLY TOTALED. ATTACHED ARE ALL DOCUMENTS FOR REVIEW. I HAVE CC'D RICARDO LARA , THE CALIFORNIA INSURANCE COMMISSIONER REGARDING THIS MATTER ASKING THAT HE RESPOND TO ME ASAP REGARDING THE SERIOUS URGENCY OF THE MATTER SINCE IT HAS BEEN LITERALLY 5 YEARS. ACCORDING TO THE RECENT LETTER BY COMMISSIONER RICARDO LARA, ALL CLAIMS ARE TO BE PAID TO INCLUDE CAR DAMAGES WITH NO DISHONESTY AND NEGLIGENCE. I AM REQUESTING THAT MY CAR BE TOTALED IN FULL AS AT THE TIME OF THE CAR ACCIDENT , THE VALUE WAS $ 9500 PLUS TAX AND LICENSE FOR REPLACEMENT VALUE. ONCE THE CAR IS TOTALED, MERCURY INSURANCE MAY UPDATE STATE FARM INSURANCE, THE DEFENDANT'S INSURANCE COMPANY.*DT*JB*DT CONSUMER STATED TEARED DOWN OF THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETED ON 06/10/15.*JB

MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT IS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. I WAS PARKED WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE LIGHT ON. AFTER NOTICING, I THEN PROCEEDED TO MAKE SURE ALL FOUR TIRES HAD CORRECT AMOUNT OF AIR AND TO AND TO TURN OFF CAR AND BACK ON TO RESET. AFTER DOING SO THE LIGHT HAS CONTINUED TO REMAIN ON. ALSO MY PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS BEEN FLASHING ON AND OFF WHILE CARE IS IN START MODE. I AM UNSURE THE CAUSE OF IT. MY VEHICLE ALSO CUT OFF WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT A FEW WEEK AGO. UNSURE IF THE PROBLEMS WERE RELATED.
