2010 Nissan Frontier Brakes Problems

I have had this issue for years and unable to fix it. My solution was not to drive my truck in snowy weather. The first incident was I was driving down hill around with snow that barely started to stick. I driving around 65mph when my truck started to buck. I slowed to 30mph and my truck was still bucking. It did not stop until the weather warmed. By the next storm I was traveling around 60mph in light snow and my truck slid. I slowed to 50mph and when going uphill my truck lost control. It felt like the brakes locked. I tired to get control without pressing the brakes that did not work and when I did press the brakes it felt like my petal was already pushed down. I shifted the truck to gain control. Since then I have never drove that truck above 35 mph in snow. After a few weeks of bad weather the truck would either buck or just not move. The truck finally throw a code saying the right rear wheel speed sensor had a weak connection. I took the truck to three mechanics were they found nothing wrong and could not mimic my issue. I replaced my speed sensor myself. I was able drive the truck in snow without it bucking but the truck would still lock up the brakes and slide. I just never drove fast enough that the slide wasn't serious. After years the truck stopped driving in the snow period again. I took it to a local mechanic and a nissan dealership. Both said the connection were fine to everything but they were able to lock the brakes. I was told by both that it was the abs module and the part was on back order. I called to different dealerships and multiple told me that people have waited for 6 plus months on this part. It took me years of being car-less every winter to figure out what was wrong and to get told the part was on back order. Based on my research is this isn't uncommon. I won't be shocked if there hasn't been car accidents from this. My vehical is dangerous and I have no way to fix it before next winter.

ON DECEMBER 7, 2013, I BEGAN TO HEAR A GRINDING NOISE WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES. I PHONED THE NEAREST AND WAS GIVEN A SERVICE APPOINTMENT FOR THURSDAY DECEMBER 12TH. I WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF $18.95 FOR A BRAKE INSPECTION, IF MY VEHICLE WARRANTY NO LONGER COVERED THE REPAIR. ON WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11TH, I WAS TOLD TO DO AN INSPECTION IN CASE THERE WAS A STONE OR PIECE OF GRAVEL WHICH COULD EASILY BE REMOVED WITHOUT A REPAIR SERVICE BY NISSAN. I REMOVED THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AND NOTICED THAT THE OUTSIDE BRAKE PAD LOOKED ALMOST NEW, BUT THE INSIDE BRAKE PAD WAS TOTALLY GROUND DOWN TO THE METAL BACKING PLATE. NISSAN SAID THE FRONT BRAKES WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND THAT REPAIR WOULD COST ME $189.95. ON DECEMBER 12TH, I DROVE MY 2010 NISSAN FRONTIER TO MODERN NISSAN AT 9:00 AM. MY BROTHER HAD FOLLOWED ME IN HIS VEHICLE TO MAKE SURE I ARRIVED THERE SAFELY. AROUND 10:30 AM, I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM MODERN NISSAN AND I WAS TOLD THAT BOTH FRONT-INSIDE BRAKE PADS WERE WORN METAL-TO-METAL AND THE BRAKE ROTORS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED WITH THE NEW BRAKE PADS. HE SAID MY ESTIMATE WAS NOW $289.95. AROUND 1:30 PM, I WAS GIVEN MY FINAL BILL AND IT TOTALED $354.91. I WAS VERY UPSET AT HAVING TO PAY FOR NEW BRAKE PARTS WITH ONLY 9,323 VEHICLE MILES. I HAVE (TWO) 2-CAR GARAGES AND MY TRUCK HAD NEVER BEEN PARKED OUTSIDE OVERNIGHT SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW IN 2010. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE BRAKE CALIPERS WERE FOUND TO HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IMPROPERLY, BECAUSE THE BRAKE FLUID LINES WERE TWISTED BACKWARDS. I INFORMED THEM THE WHEELS & LUG NUTS HAD NEVER BEEN REMOVED UNTIL I WAS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BEFORE BRINGING MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE REPAIRS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON A NEW VEHICLE PURCHASE.

NOTICED E-BRAKE NO LONGER HOLDING. TOOK TO LOCAL SHOP. TOLD ME NEED NEW E-BRAKE PADS AND REAR AXLE BEARINGS, SEALS. APPARENTLY BEARING SEALS FAILED AND GEAR OIL SATURATED BRAKE PADS. TOOK TO DEALER TO FIX BEARINGS AND SEALS UNDER WARRANTY (THOUGH THEY CHARGED ME FOR THE BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT THAT WAS A DIRECT RESULT). A LITTLE ONLINE SEARCH REVEALS THE BEARING PROBLEM COMMON ON FRONTIERS, A RESULT OF IMPROPER AXLE VENTING. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RETROFIT PART THAT NISSAN SOLD TO ADDRESS THIS THAT HAS SINCE BEEN PULLED FROM THE PARTS OFFERING. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 NISSAN FRONTIER TRUCK. COMING TOWARDS A STOP SIGN, I HAD ALREADY STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. ABOUT 200 FEET,BEFORE THE STOP SIGN, WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK,THE PEDAL STAYED DOWN WITH NO EFFECT. I TRIED TO JAM AS HARD AS POSSIBLE -- NO EFFECT, LUCKILY, MY SPEED WAS SLOW ENOUGH, IT DID NOT CARRY ME INTO THE TRAFFIC LANE. NEXT MINUTE, THE BRAKES WORKED FINE, I TESTED SEVERAL TIMES - NO PROBLEM SINCE THEN. HOWEVER, NOW THAT I THINK BACK, IT DID HAPPEN AT LEAST COUPLE OF TIMES, SO FAST I THOUGHT IT WAS MY IMAGINATION. THIS TIME, IT WAS NO IMAGINATION, IT WAS SCARY. [XXX]
