What owners wrote
The car's brakes stopped responding in the highway and the car hit one side of the road (it was snowing) then it cut 3 lanes and went all the way to the other side and hit the wall again. The impact was high, the vehicle has major damage but the airbags never deployed.
My car is having the issue where when the brake is pressed it does not detect it and the car will not start, also the ABS and traction control lights remain on there are other cars that nissan is recalling for the same issue yet this one has yet to get a recall making it a very unreliable and unsafe issue
