I JUST CAME OFF THE HIGHWAY WHERE I ALMOST GOT KILLED BY A BIG, LONG WHITE TRAILER TRUCK BECAUSE MY VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT, THE BRAKE DID NOT BUDGE, IT HAPPENED SO FAST, IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKE WAS STUCK, SO I GOT OUT OF THE INTERSECTION AND STEERED MY WAY TO SAFETY ONLY THERE WAS NO WHERE FOR ME TO SAFELY STOP BECAUSE THE RAMP TOOK ME TO I95 S WHICH IS VERY BUSY.

THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE I HAD 66 MILES ON IT. PLEASE ADVISE ME WHAT TO DO.

ON 2/7/16, I WAS PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPACE AT WORK. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP IN MY SPACE. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ENGINE REVVED LOUDLY, AND THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD, JUMPED THE CURB AND SLAMMED INTO THE OFFICE BUILDING!!!! I HAD NO CONTROL EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS PUSHING ON THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD. MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME, AND TO THINK OF WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED PETRIFIES ME. THIS MALFUNCTION HAS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND RESOLVED. THE DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIRS ESTIMATES ARE HAPPENING NOW, SO THE REPORTS ARE STILL BEING FORMULATED, AND I CAN ADD THEM TO THIS REPORT ONCE THEY ARE COMPLETED. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN USA HEADQUARTERS AND THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SENDING A REGIONAL COORDINATOR TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE UPLOADED PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE AND THE SCENE.
