What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 nissan titan. While driving 55 MPH, the driver could not stop the vehicle after applying the brakes. The vehicle went over an embankment. As a result, the driver sustained fatal injuries. The contact was unsure if the airbags deployed. The vehicle is presently being held by the hwy patrol. The vehicle had been taken for brake repairs 7 times and was released to the contact saying that the brakes were fine.
Upon start up parking brake light on dash illuminated and remained on, however the parking brake was not set. Once the vehicle was in motion the brakes became ineffective. The pedal was soft and there was a pulsing sensation. If I had not been going less than 5MPH I am unsure if I could have stopped, I was able to coast to a stop and place the vehicle in park. Once the vehicle was turned off and restarted all lights and problems disappeared and brakes functioned ok.
