Re: 09 Altima Hybrid Catstrophic Brake Failure!!!
I am writing because I had a catastrophic brake failure on my 2011 Nissan Altima hybrid yesterday!! The same exact thing happened to me as mentioned in this post dated back in 2010!! I am wondering what ever happened to your car and if they repaired it or did a buy back of the car. If anyone has ever had this happen please email me!! I want to know what the outcome is because I will never feel safe driving this car again!! tstubbins@comcast.
thanks!
thanks!

Guys:
Saturday 01/09/2010; while going at 35 MPH, I had a catastrophic brake failure on my NAH. The brakes were non responsive, could have been a major potential for a FATAL accident if I was doing 65 MPH on highway. Enough to say I am totally pissed about this and Want ANSWERS from Nissan!
.
I was alerted by a ABS and Brake warning lights and a continuous alarm in the cabin. when I hit brakes, Nothing happened, I put in low gear and pulled over and tried several times to restart, but no change to the condition, brakes still inoperable.
The car is with the dealer now and I will update this thread as more information flows in.
My tow cost $197 to tow me 5 (Yes FIVE) miles to the dealership because the towing company they sent charge commercial rates and because the road side assistance program covers only $100, I am Out 97 dollars! I have another major issue with this and I have asked for the regional specialist of Nissan to contact me, they said it will be within 2 business days and I hope that's true or else I have another thing coming!

Tip: Do not buy the roadside assistance and get a AAA Plus membership instead

You should file a safety complaint w/NHTSA, as I suggested in post 2. Perhaps it might be better to do so after the repair's been successfully completed.

Ok Thanks I will file with NHTSA. I'm just wondering if you know what the outcome was for the original person that posted the brake failure. I'm just fearful to ever drive the car again. The brake failure was due to the hybrid system failing. This is the second time my hybrid system failed in 2 months. The first time my car would not respond to start, it was frozen in the on position and would not then turn on or off or do anything. After reassuring me 1 month ago it was fixed and I would not have a hybrid problem again, now my brakes fail due to hybrid failure!! I don't know how they could ever say the brake failure would not happen again.
