WHILE APPLYING BRAKES COMING TO A STOP SIGN THERE WAS A LOUD CRUNCHING NOISE. TRYING TO DRIVE WAS HARDLY POSSIBLE AS THE CAR WOULD STOP SHORT AND CAUSE THE NOISE ANYTIME THE BRAKES WERE EVEN LIGHTLY APPLIED. THE RED BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER AND AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE CAR DROVE FINE. THIS HAPPENED ONE MORE TIME IN DECEMBER. SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND THIS TO BE A PROBLEM IN PREVIOUS YEARS BUT NOT WITH A 2009. MOST COMPLAINTS POINTED TO A SOLENOID IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND A $800 REPAIR. REPAIRS OFTEN DON'T LAST AND ANOTHER $800 IS SPENT A YEAR, OR YEARS LATER. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT NISSAN WILL NOT ADDRESS OR COMPENSATE FOR. HAD THIS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE OR ONE OF MY CHILDREN I COULD VERY WELL SEE WHERE IT MAY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2008-2011 Titan, Frontier, Xterra, Pathfinder, Armada, and 2008-2009 Quest vehicles. The resin emblem on the driver's air bag cover may develop cracks and detach during air bag deployment.
Consequence & remedy

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL SENDER UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WITH A NEW IMPROVED SENDER CARD. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 22, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

THE BRAKE PEDAL PIVOT PIN END WAS NOT SPIN-FORMED TO SPECIFICATION DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF THE BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY. THE PIVOT PIN COULD SLIDE AND CAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PARTIALLY DISENGAGE FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL BRACKET.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE DRIVER WILL EXPERIENCE UNUSUAL AND NOTICEABLE LOOSENESS IN THE PEDAL AND A REDUCTION IN BRAKING FORCE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
